It isn’t often that all of Space Dog Books is in one city, nonetheless in one room. So, we were very excited to be able to fly out to Austin and spend the whole week together! We are a part of the SXSW Tradeshow, so we were thrilled to receive all our shirts and temporary tattoos that we haven’t been able to wear around yet.
Victoria and Chad stopped by the exhibit hall today to check out the booth set up, it’s really coming along and we are all on the edge of or seats waiting to see it finished!
Here is a little sneak peek: (Emphasis on little)
We attended some amazing panels yesterday about storytelling and technology. Today, Tymn and I saw Joss Whedon speak about the new Avengers movie and his passion for small productions like Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog and Cabin in the Woods. He said something that really hit home with us, “It really is about having a passion for the thing that you do, even when people are looking at you like you are out of your f*#@ing mind.”
The great thing about SXSW so far is that there are so many passionate people. I love to watch people talk about what they do and the detail is apparent in their faces as their are talking about it. I could be 10 yards away and I know how they feel about what they do. It’s empowering and inspiring. And it’s only day two.
