SXSW is officially over and I’ll take all the coffee I can get! I’m feeling both sad and happy about it because it was an awesome experience, but it’s A LOT to manage and do for 10 straight days. My last time attending was in 2013 when I was still living in Seattle. I came with the company I was working for at the time and helped work the trade show booth while also attending sessions. It was a whirlwind experience and I had a great time, but it paled in comparison to SX 2019. Attending as a resident and having more free time to explore different events was so much fun. I learned some lessons about how important it is to plan ahead and RSVP for everything and anything. Seriously, just do it. RSVP even if you don’t think you’ll make it. I spent a lot of time attending sessions at the @fairmontatx where many of the social media and digital marketing talks were held. It was a great venue with plenty of seating, new facilities, and delicious food options. It was also in the perfect location to check out all the pop-ups and events happening around Cesar Chavez and Rainey. I ran into friends, neighbors, and met some cool new people along the way while exploring all of the SXSW activities across downtown. From mariachi street performers to flower crowns and slightly conquering my fear of snakes (very slightly lol) it was an unforgettable week. There were definitely pros and cons like valuable learning opportunities, a lot of freebies, fun events, networking, energy and excitement all around, and some not so great things like long lines, lots of exclusive events, too many options to keep track of, sessions that were more sales pitches than sharing of information, and lastly sessions that were so popular you couldn’t even get in after waiting in line for an hour. SX is a beast of a conference and if you want to make the most of it you have to go in with a plan and the right mindset. Would I go again? Heck yeah! See you next year for SXSW 2020💥 P.S. excited to have my favorite places in Austin back to not being overcrowded like @flattrackcoffee 👏👏 #seathislife #sxsw2019
🍀🍀 Happy St. Patty’s 🍀🍀 We sure got lucky with beautiful weather today! 🌈 How are you celebrating? I had this yummy cone from @frostgelato with ✌️scoops ~ one 🍌 & one 🍉 w/ chocolate chips (both dairy free) 👌 #seathislife #sundayfunday
Taking a break from the #southby madness with a visit to @picnikaustin ✨ After going full speed for a week of sessions and events, I was craving something healthy to nourish my body. Even though it hasn’t been THAT crazy, I could tell that I needed to get out of downtown for a bit and reset my system. A light, protein rich meal with a refreshing kombucha did the trick! Pictured: berry bucha made with blackberries, honey, lime & kombucha + Greek style quinoa salad with locally sourced bison meatballs (this was a special & so fresh and yummy!) 👌 Does this meal make you hungry?? I’m already wishing I had leftovers 😋 #seathislife #picnikaustin
🎵 SXSW Day 7 🎵 It’s officially music week and South Congress is the place to be! Free shows are happening up and down the street & we couldn’t have asked for better weather to take in the sights and sounds of Austin’s finest! I’ve been wanting to check out @continentalclubatx and I finally got to stop by and see this legendary South Congress music venue. It’s rumored that this is Matthew McConaughey’s favorite place to listen to live music in town. Don’t forget to check out shows at @tomsaustin, @yarddogart and @hotelsanjose for their South by San Jose #alwaysfree music event going on through Sunday 3/17! ✨ #seathislife #sxswmusic
✨ SXSW Day 6 ✨ The sun was out, music industry people are here, and the vibes have shifted from techies to musicians taking over the streets of Austin. Day and night parties are happening all over town. You can’t even walk a block on Cesar Chavez without hearing live music and seeing some fun street style. If you want to get in on the action but don’t have a badge, just head over to Rainey street and walk around until you find a place to get in. There’s so much people watching and random stuff going on at all hours of the day. Before you know it, you’ll be walking into a random live show poolside at the @thelinehotel with @badbooksmusic watching them perform under the warm Austin sun! Definitely made up for the multiple hour IG outage💥 #seathislife #sxsw2019
✨ SXSW Day 5 ✨ sessions, healthy food demos, eating insects (you’re brave @atxfitfoodie), Wisconsin Cheeselandia, flower crowns, female DJs, and meeting new friends! 🌸 #seathislife #sxsw2019
