SXSW Interactive 2009 is fast approaching. It takes place March 13-17, overlapping with SXSW Film (March 13-21) and followed by SXSW Music (March 18-22). This will be the fifth consecutive year I’ve attended the conference. Here are my write-ups and photos from 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Oh yeah and then there’s the parties. Many, many parties. Laughing Squid is co-organizing the super secret 32 Bit party on Monday, March 16th, follow @32bit on Twitter for more information.
We are also a sponsor of Plutopia 2009, the 9th Annual EFF-Austin SXSWi event.
Oh and @sxswparty will be posting party updates on Twitter.
