The South by Southwest festival should be a must on everyone's bucket list. It's a breeding ground for creativity and innovation that appeases fans of all genres. From film to music to technology, there's an outlet for everyone.
Unfortunately, SXSW is not a weekend affair. It's roughly a ten-day festival spanning from March 8 to March 17. That's a lot of time away from work, your family, and well, your life. Luckily for those of you who can't make it down to Austin for the unworldly festivities, beginning March 8 there will be a live feed streaming various events including live performances, showcases, and discussion panels, just to name a few.
SXSW will also provide a video channel full of performances, featured artists and other festival highlights, as well as a handful of movies from its film festival. Then, as if it couldn't get any better, there will also be a SXSW audio page with recordings of discussion panels, conferences and a slew of live musical performances.
But wait, there's more. The festival has also established its own interactive Flickr page. The page features images from the official SXSW's photostream and also allows attendees and the unfortunate stay-at-homers to post their own content.
So for those of you who will be stuck daydreaming at home next week, SXSW is doing all that it can to bring you closer to the festival. Whether you're there amidst the hundreds of live performances or watching from home, be sure not to miss a beat. With all the provided interactive material, it won't be difficult.
