Fuck You SXSW, Fuck You Very Much

For those of you who dont know, SXSW Interactive is a once a year event held in beautiful Austin, Texas where some of the world’s most well-known, male, web 2.0 Twitterati get together, talk to the prettiest girl they have ever met for 15 minutes, ride a mechanical bull and then throw up in the lobby of their hotel. Females in the IT industry also attend and contribute.

GRL was invited to give “the best keynote of SXSW” (so that’s what we did). Unfortunately, My partner Evan could not attend because he likes to eat food and sleep indoors (pussy). If you also could not attend, you can still watch video documentation of the Keynote below.

ALERT:
Another video on Youtube of the Keynote presentation that includes the part of the talk (edited from the official SXSW documentation) where i mention Evan didnt come because SXSW doesnt pay their contributors. In the end we are all tricksters to some degree, aren’t we.

Thanks to Virginia, Ben,Raina, Jessica, ELLIOTT, Jaja, Shawn, Hugh, Souris, Ben C, Jamie, Rocketboom, Ronen V, Jen B, the haters (for speaking your mind), and all the nerds I’ve loved before…
