Episode 72: South By Southwest Recap Pt 1 (Days 1-3)
As some of you know, I recently had an absolutely life changing experience down in Austin for South By Southwest 2019. I got the privilege of officially covering the event for iHeartRadio and SXSW itself, and I am SO excited to get my documentary out to y'all soon!
Until then, I decided that a recap more from my perspective as an acting member of the press who is actually a superfan would be a great way to offer some context on how all of this craziness played out while also giving you a taste of the content that will be featured in my movie!
In part 1, I offer an introduction to what SXSW is as a whole, how it works, who it caters to, and why you should make the trip before diving into my first 3 days of events which included:
- LG's Inspiration Gallery, - A Lecture from Buzzfeed's CEO Jonah Paretti, -ADP's "Breaking Barriers" break room instillation, - Amazon's "Garden of Earthly Delights" Based on "Good Omens," - My failed attempt to see the World Premier of "Us," - Deep Eddy's "Enter Galactic" show - A panel with Trevor Noah & "The Daily Show" cast, - Vice's "Skateland" pop up roller rink, - An interview with THE Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (feat. Bill Nye), - The ACLU's 100th Anniversary Concert feat Tom Morello & Questlove, - Michelob Ultra's "Pure Golden Hour" meditation event feat performances from Miguel, Bishop Briggs, & Cautious Clay, - Vevo House's show feat Nelly
