I’m something of an obsessive traveller; when I visit a new place, I tend to research and gather information that gives me a general sense of where things are relative to each other. Compounding this trip are the many interesting panels I want to attend. I just started looking at them for the first time, and quickly started to get overwhelmed. Because I’m a complete dork, I spent a couple hours copying and pasting all the information into a Word document so I could browse the panels my leisure instead of clicking all over the Internet. Much more usable in the bathtub, where I shall be soaking in a few moments.
I know, I know. I could have just downloaded the PDA version, assuming I find my PDA before Friday. There’s something I like, however, about a sturdy printout. Especially since my wonderful new printer handles two-sided printing quickly and automatically.
Dave’s Scarily Obsessive and Perhaps Ultimately Useless SXSW Cheat Sheet
- A 42 page PDF (with clickable links) listing all the panels and the “official” parties by day, copied and pasted with love.
A single page PDF (with clickable links) that just lists all the panel events. I’m using this to circle stuff.

p>Kartooner and I are going to be driving around Austin together, and we want to know where everything is, so I’ll probably update this page a bit more with the pertinent info. Dude, bookmark this page!

business card version: coming right up! It just has the url of the printout on it, though, so don’t forget to have that with you :-)
UPDATE: I made a version that just lists the times and the names on a single piece of paper, so I can check stuff off.
Freaking awesome! Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thanks!
Very useful, thanks! :)
Wow – you have way to much time on your hands! :-)
I’ve recently posted a list of the panels I would like to attend – and that was hard enough! Any overlap besides the bowling event which I managed to get into at the last minute?
Nick just passed this along: [free things to get at SXSW][sxsw]

Jeff: thanks for the link! I’ll have to post up mine. I’m still deciding :-)
I’d have to agree with the “way too much time on your hands”, but nevertheless this’ll help a lot of people! Looking forward to finally meeting you!
Nice. Can I have a version that fits on a single business card? ;)
Don’t forget about…
