I finally leave for Austin tomorrow and I've been scurrying around all day, finishing up last minute chores, errands, and preparations (pack, stop newspaper delivery till Monday, take out the garbage, write less-informative-than-usual blogpost for The Current). My flight's at 8 AM, which means I'll be out of bed at an hour that's all but unknown to freelance writers. It also means I'll be in Austin tomorrow afternoon and ready for some SXSWing.

OK, actually it means I'll need a nap before taking my place in the endless registration line at the Convention Center.

Anyway, that's my last post from Philly. Tomorrow, I'll be in the thick of it. I'll also be posting more often, so be sure to check in. I promise not to mention the weather too much--unless it really is as rainy as the forecast predicts.
