Peter, what a great idea!
Thanks David. Looking forward to seeing you in Texas.
I love Google’s My Maps. This is great, esp. since I’m thinking about coming to SXSW Interactive for the first time.
Very cool… oh and check out my6th on twitter – Just follow and visit http://www.my6th.com! Update your location with a specific address/geocode to be seen on map.
This looks fantastic! I’m moving to Austin next week to get ready for SXSW and don’t know the taown at all. Thanks Peter.
Folllow me: https://twitter.com/ZackTeibloom for #SXSW coverage.
Nice. Love the convention center is a volcano. I’ll be down there the 14th to the 18th, at the Hyatt.
Also love you included the bats. Is the tweetup in there?
The Hyatt is nice – I’ve stayed there a few times. It has a clean and well-lit fitness center and is also an easy walk over the Congress Ave bridge to downtown. Mixed feelings on the breakfast buffet – the servers are always super nice, but it’s definitely hotel prices.
Tweetup is at Guero’s, which is further down South Congress. It’s a healthy distance from the Hyatt and not a bad walk if the weather is nice. And you’re up for a walk.
I’m just glad to be a lot closer this year. Last year I was at the Doubletree, which is way north. That’s what booking last minute will do. Looking forward to meeting everyone at the sessions and parties. (I’m @stephenriley)
This map will be incredibly helpful! Thank you for posting it. It is my first run at SXSW and I’m eager to explore all the local spots.
I’m looking forward to meeting you and everyone!

Many thanks for sharing this information. This is my first SXSW & am very excited to meet everyone & to be overwhelmed by innovation.
Just like Dan and Elizabeth, it’s my first SXSW as well. I’m so directionally challenged that your map will be a lifesaver – well, at least a timesaver for me. The follow up conversation via comments is packed full of pointers also. Much appreciated, Peter!
Awesome, thank you so much for putting this together!! I’m @miishi, see you all there š
Peter
What a great idea and resource, especially for me coming from so far away and knowing so few people. Thanks for doing it. Hope to catch you there.
You’re my hero. I had my list this weekend to look up food and coffee spots for next week. Done!
Thanks Peter, this is really helpful!
Hope to see you there.
