Disclosure: The Farmers Branch Aquatics Center provided my family with a day pass for indoor swimming and compensated my time writing this post. Sunday was a gray and rainy day.

Thanks to Pfister, I got the awesome opportunity to attend South by Southwest Interactive in Austin (aka SXSW Interactive or SXSWi). Here's what I did while there and some tips for other SXSW Interactive newbies. SXSW Interactive and the Gamers.
