The slogan here is Keep Austin Weird, so what better place for SXSW? The whole town is packed full of creatives and those who market toward and service them. Musicians, film makers, comedians – people travel here to further those dreams and it’s wholly evident on the streets of Austin. Young kids with purple hair. Grizzled sound guys who’ve been on the road for decades and seen it all. Hipsters, salesmen and young entrepreneurs. Without this diversity, SXSW wouldn’t be as enormous or attractive as it is. Maybe it’s why we’re having such a great time -we’ve got a pretty diverse crew in town, too. Justin & Ed just doin’ their thing Mitch is a seasoned veteran of the television world, and we lost him somewhere in the Interactive Festival. There are so many contacts he may never surface. Justin and Ed have backgrounds in music – they used to comprise together half of a band, now they form part of the COPYCATS sales team.. They’re tearing up the trade show booth by day, meeting with current clients and looking for new ones, and they’re tearing up the town by night. One of many clients we’ve met up with at SXSW After a late night with clients Bridge Nine Records, Blood & Ink Records and 6131 Records, Justin still looked raring to go when the show opened again this morning. It may be possible to hook him up to an IV and serve Five Hour Energy drinks on tap. Jac and The Union Suits are pounding the pavement and driving traffic to both our booth and Saturday’s music showcase....

…and when they say festival, they mean it. SXSW Music officially opened today and it did so with a bang. We’re only 48 hours in and we’ve seen a little bit of everything. We’ve seen clients, vendors and friends. We’ve seen Ghostland at the Belmont. We’ve seen tradeshow displays in every shape and form – seriously. Who knew Angie’s leg would make an appearance? We were there to cheer on our very own Jac and his band, The Union Suits, for their maiden SXSW performance. But the craziest thing we’ve seen of all just might be Mitch and Justin before their morning coffee. In all seriousness, though, the trade show is going swimmingly. Traffic is heavy, interest is high, and the energy is electric. We’re making new friends and contacts everywhere we turn and can’t wait for more. Bring it on, Austin – we’re ready for...

Seven of the people charged in the scandal are now facing charges that carry up to 20 years in prison. 20 years in prison. Content piracy is a huge concern globally.
