Interactive invades SXSW Music 2012? Who’s up for forming a geek band?
Does the idea of a geek band at SXSW Music strike your fancy? Throwing an idea out there to see if it gets anyone excited.

Both times I attended SXSW I've wanted to stay on for the music festival – I think I'm finally going to this year. One of the cool things about SXSW is that it includes Interactive, Film, and Music under its umbrella but it does feel like the three are still somewhat disperate. Which is surprising to some degree since most web/interactive geeks I know either are musicians or have been involved with film and other mediums in one capacity or other.
So, I was thinking, why don't we invade SXSW Music in 2012 (it's too late for 2011) with a band of our own? A Geek Robot Superstar band or something (I don't know where the "Robot" bit came from, really.)
These be teh awesomez! Love this set of photos by Pieter Van den Bosch from our gig in Amsterdam.
It's almost midnight, I haven't yet packed for Amsterdam, and the taxi's booked for 6am tomorrow to take Stephanie and me to the airport. So why the heck am I blogging?
FITC is coming to Europe with FITC Amsterdam in February and I'm honored to be speaking at it. Not only that but our band, Phlash5, is going to be performing again. We had our debut performance in Hollywood at FITC Hollywood and it's going to be great to have the whole band together again for Amsterdam.
