Did you know that you, yes you dear reader, have the power to send me South by Southwest? Some of you probably know SXSW as “that music festival in Austin.” True, yes, SXSW includes music. But, it’s really an event for entertainment and media in general. The three different parts of the event include music, film, and interactive. Most internet stuff, like my moderated panel idea, is included in interactive section.
Here at the FBC, over at Nerve magazine, and on my internet radio show, I’m all about understanding how people relate to each other online and offline. So, my SXSW interactive panel topic is “Adult Conversations: Sex, Intimacy & Online Relationships“. I want the panel to include a good mix of sex researchers, sociologists, and bloggers. Half of the panelists will talk about online relationships. The other half will talk about offline relationships. They’ll all compare the two and give tips on how to improve both.
I really want to go to SXSW. I’m looking forward to meeting a lot of the other folks who are actively writing and blogging about relationships. And, of course, I think my panel would be a nice addition to the program. So, vote for me. Pretty please? I’m asking because the only panels that will make it into the final program are the panels with the most votes. So, here’s how to vote. Go to: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/521. Under the title (Adult Conversations) right next to the words “Your Vote”, click the number of stars that you’d like to give me. You have to sign in, but it takes less than a minute. Voting ends in two days. Wish me luck!

How many times can we vote? I already did it once but if I can hook you up further, you know I will!
Good luck!!
Yeah, do we have to create a different login ID to vote again? I have lots of e-mail addresses, so I can log in lots of times! :)
Being a TX Gal and letting ya’ll know if you haven’t been to this, it is a rocking good time. So vote vote vote because trust me she will have a blast!!!
I voted and if you come I will see you there. It will be too fun :)
@ AmyD: Well, I’m from Chicago — where we vote early and often (so do our pets). I’m kidding! I only voted for SXSW once, and I think that’s the limit. But, you can certainly tell other folks to vote for me. :)
@ Baba Doodlius: You’re a sneaky little one, aren’t you?? That thought hadn’t even crossed my mind.
@ Felicia: Is someone writing the name of my blog in the guys’ bathrooms all over Texas??? I think I have quite a few … ahem, um, 5 (?) … readers in Texas. And, by the way, I’ve been to Austin once before; I had a good time!
I voted for you! Good luck with this one, wish I could be there.
THANKS!!! :) And, by the way, we should sooo meet up for drinks when you come to New York!
