to be at SXSW this year?
yep. i was lucky enough to be invited on the Black Bloggers Panel.
im stoked.
and i even got an inquiry to see if i wanted to be on another panel. i was all, if im in austin i will be talking about kickass music or blogging whether theres a mic infront of me or not, so yes!
sxsw started as a music festival in 1987 but recently they have expanded to include an “interactive” convention-of-sorts.
