Quirkee.com is going to South By Southwest 2007! That's right, boys and girls, it's the biggest, baddest, and grandest of all music festivals in the United States and it happens right here in Austin, Texas. For those of you who don't know, last year SXSW showcased over 1,400 music acts at 64 venues for their music festival and screened 230 films for their film festival. This year should have even more music madness and movie goodness. That's a lot of stuff to do in a week and a half, but we're up for the task, dear readers!

Our resident music writer, Michael Lewis, will be tackling the music festival of SXSW. As everyone knows, Michael has a voracious passion for music and he loves enlightening people to music he discovers. With thousands of bands at SXSW, I'm certain he will discover several bands that he would love to cram into his Ipod and advocate to the world. He's just that kind of guy. Check out Michael's column Whiskey Tune for his latest music recommendations.

Carol McClendon is the co-editor and a writer for Quirkee.com. She has been enlightening all of us about her crazy world in her column Carol Standard Time. But did you know that Carol was also a film writer and programmer for AGLIFF, the Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival? Well, now you do. So to say she knows a little about edgy, independent film is an understatement. She will be covering the film festival of SXSW.

And that leaves me, Scott Semegran, your mild-mannered publisher of Quirkee.com, to cover the interactive festival at SXSW. "What the hell is that?" you may ask yourself. Well, I'll tell you. It is the place for creative web developers, designers, bloggers, wireless innovators and new media entrepreneurs to mingle and to show off their stuff. And Quirkee will be there too, showing off our... stuff. Quirkee is also participating in the 10th Annual SXSW Web Awards. This could be our moment to shine! I'm preparing my acceptance speech right now. First and foremost, all praise to God! And to my homies back in the ATX...

Anyway, look for more news and coverage for South By Southwest 2007 right here on Quirkee.com in the coming months. For more information on SXSW 2007, please check out their web site: http://www.sxsw.com.
