The Kick! site is up and running with its very own blog!

Are you going to SXSW this year? You really should, just for the social aspects, if not for the conference. Austin is a great town, and the natives and the visitors are great. Other fun events, in no particular order:

Breaking Bread with Brad, the real kickoff to the whole shindig
20x2, this year's question: What are you waiting for?
Fray Cafe, this year, there'll be enough room for everybody
The Web Awards (not to be confused with the Bloggies, which promises soap opera-style excitement), where we can watch Mr. Styn do his thang

And the best? Ernie doing karaoke.

I think that's about it... I'm sure someone will be throwing a party somewhere and everyone will be invited, as well as roaming groups of web geeks wandering around doing ... geeky things. It's fun. It's fabulous (as are the people you'll meet).

Ok, I've done my part now. Go get some plane tix and some hotel reservations. If you need any help, the folks over at SXSWblog can help you out.
