I&#8217;m <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redmonk.com\/cote\/2007\/02\/23\/bar-camp-austin-ii-march-9th-to-10th-2007\/\">a big fan of barcamp<\/a> and I&#8217;ve been looking forward to this one for a long time.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/2007.sxsw.com\/\">SXSW<\/a> starts today and runs through Tuesday. After which there&#8217;s SXSW Music all next week in the evenings.<\/li>\n<li>And as the icing on the cake, 4 different parts of the family and in-laws are in town: Kim&#8217;s mother, Kim&#8217;s sister and family, my sister and her new daughter, and my mother. My dad&#8217;s family jokingly calls it &#8220;FFF&#8221;: Forced Family Fun ;&gt;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s the perfect calendar storm!<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, I won&#8217;t be able to cover and attend BarCamp and SXSWi as much as I&#8217;d hoped for, which is fine: &#8220;covering&#8221; the family is much more exciting than either of those. That said, you can expect several blog posts, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/cote\/with_friends\">tweats from Twitter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cote\/\">photos<\/a>, and hopefully <a href=\"http:\/\/redmonk.libsyn.com\/\">some podcasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;d be nice to do something at barcamp, esp. a panel\/group discussion. Along with several people I&#8217;ve been twittering with, I&#8217;ll have to see what&#8217;s going on on the ground when I get there.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re around and you want to get together, just contact me (512-663-7507 or <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/cote\/\">cote on Twitter<\/a>) and we&#8217;ll get together.
