With my final year in Austin winding down, I have felt compelled to start crossing activities and restaurants off my Austin to-do list that I have, up until now, put off until "next year." So this morning I stopped by Waterloo Records to pick up my film pass for this year's SXSW film festival. I must admit, I'm already a little overwhelmed by the prospect of squeezing as many movies into one week as possible. The woman who sold us our passes recommended that we create a spreadsheet that includes a Plan A, B, and C. Who knew there would be homework involved? Films I'm looking forward to catching (hoping to get into): The Runaways, The People vs. George Lucas, Saturday Night, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and His & Hers. I'm open to suggestions, so feel free to check out the list of films and give me your two cents. Also looking forward to catching a Guy Kawasaki talk about using Twitter as a marketing tool (courtesy of Ayax Systems, of course).

Funny enough... I volunteered at the Multimedia portion of SXSW in college, but I've never actually bought passes and attended as an "adult". :-)

As a film major - this saddens me, and I admit, I'm jealous of your existing pass... There's a premiere of 13 at Alamo South starring Alexander Skarsgard. (He's my current "obsession" so to speak... - YUM!)

I can't wait to hear more about your week of films!!!
