South by Southwest has a blogger-friendly program and a blogger-hostile venue. There’s a great local and out of town blog crew are here, but they won’t let us plug in or take pictures.
Cory Doctorow says:
* Contact the Austin Convention and Visitor’s bureau and tell them that the no-power rule makes Austin hostile to visitors. Email: visitorcenter@austintexas.org. Phone (800)926-2282.
* If you’re on a panel, give the audience permission to take photos and video.
It was announced this morning — we can now plug in. woo-hoo!
