Anyone Want to Share A Room in Austin?
I've been asked to be on a panel at SXSW and I really want to say yes. I've never been able to afford going before but being on a panel makes registration much more affordable (um it's free). I have 3 main concerns.
1) I don't have a hotel room and the rumor is that decent hotels are already long gone. Decent meaning close enough to the festivities to not have to get a rental car.
2. Hotel rooms in Austin for SXSW seem very pricey. Add rental car to that plus air fare and you've got a pretty big amount for a trip. We can afford it, I just want to make sure that the experience is going to be worth it. Attending the conference by itself may not be worth it (I'm not sure) but participating on a panel would be a very good, very big deal for me.
3. Don't tell anyone but I'm really afraid of flying. I'm already working on mentally gearing myself up for the flight to Seattle in May. Can I be mentally prepared by March to fly to Austin? The Magic Eight Ball is uncertain.
So help me deal with these issues so I can say yes and we can all have a very good time together in Austin in the spring.
