Social Media Event Of The Year Is Getting Nigh-er!

Welcome to Texas!Remember how you voted so faithfully and got an editor of this-here politics blog onto a panel about failed social media campaigns? Well, that panel will be next Saturday, March 14 at 5PM at South by Southwest Interactive in Austin, Texas. It will be a HOOT. Rahm Emanuel will be there in his knickers! Tell your friends! [SXSW/Suxorz]

  1. Does this mean that our Sara K. Smith will be in my Austin? My girlfriend is soooo, totally fired.

  2. Haha, Sux0rz 2 B U!

    No, actually, I had to reactivate my facebook account just to vote. Then I deactivated it before my fanclub found me.

    We are gathering rose petals for her arrival.

  4. Sara,

    This is your chance to reclaim Twitter from the wingnuts, but please pass on doing this.

    Also, no matter what anyone tells you, bolo ties on women are not cool.

    It ought to be on the license plates…

    “Texas: Home of the Chainsaw Massacre”

    MathewBrooks: Singular?

  7. TedTheLightBulbSalesman says at 1:04 pm, March 5th, 2009

    I’ll be there, for work! I hope Sarah knows that I’ll have to miss the “Politics, Technology, and Pop Culture” panel, which happens at the same time as hers. If only there were two of me!

    What I want to know is, did Sarah get an invite to the Super Secret Facebook Party for that Sunday night?

  8. TedTheLightBulbSalesman says at 1:13 pm, March 5th, 2009

    TedTheLightBulbSalesman: There’s no “H” in Sara, fool.

    Hey! Look for me! The Tall Texan! I am an Austinite! Eat at the Texas Chili Parlor & Chuys. See a show at the Continental Club (but don’t pee)- and if you can make it to the north side- slip into LaLa’s! You will be safe here- the neo-cons keep a low profile, due to the overwhelming number of liberals.

    Sara, a word of advice, bring your own coffee mug.

    MathewBrooks: The real deal was in Wisconsin courtesy of Ed Gein.

    Sara, you will love Austin. Be sure to tell everyone you see that you want to meet Leslie (inside Austin joke).

    It would be nice to have an Austin Wonkette get together so all the local Wonketteers could meet. On second thought, nah…. It would be disappointing to find out that the neighbor whom you hate more than herpes because his kid is an ADHD nightmare & his dog barks all day & shits in your yard & he’s always putting his garbage in your trash bin is on Wonkette.

    Ha, ha! Nice picture and caption.

  14. thetalltexan says at 1:42 pm, March 5th, 2009

    Texan Bulldoggette- Leslie would terrify and amaze her!
    The get together could prove that you have another Wonkette Warrior!

  15. FamilyLost says at 1:54 pm, March 5th, 2009

    Can you get me a pic of Rahm in knickers?

    Hurry here Sara! You may arrive just in time to see the last piece of green paved over by the city council. Or perhaps you can swim at Barton Springs, unless it’s closed due to an egregiously high fecal matter count. When you have some time you could stroll downtown among the half-built, unsold condominium buildings which block everyone’s view of the Capitol building. It’s supposed to rain this weekend, so maybe you’ll experience one of those floods that puts Lamar Blvd twelve feet under water and kills a bunch of homeless people. Whatever you do, stay off I-35, it’s a death trap!

    I’ve lived here 25 years, I can bitch if I want. I still live here, though, so there must be something I like about the place. My wife, for starters. And the deer in my back yard. And the fact I live 10 miles south of downtown and rarely leave south Austin. And being gainfully unemployed for 9 years.

    TMI?

    “Rahm Emanuel will be there in his knickers!”

    Don’t tease me that way.

  19. mc_frontalot says at 8:55 pm, March 5th, 2009

    I’ll be doing showcases there. Maybe Sarah K will come see.

    hobospacejungle: The BS will be pristine for Sarah, as this weekend’s the one they drain and scrub it

    http://friendsofbartonspringspool.org/

    So actually, if you, hobospacejungle, want to get down with the feces-not-the-salamanders, Saturday would be the ideal day to jump in.

  21. hobospacejungle says at 2:27 am, March 6th, 2009

    seachel: Oh sweet, thanks for the BS update. I could be cynical & suggest they are only cleaning it for SXSW but it looks like, from reading the website, that this is just good people doing something good.

    I would take your advice for my annual feces-dunking, but it seems to me if they are to be scrubbing & cleaning Saturday then the pool will most likely be empty? Who am I kidding. I’ll be sleeping all day Saturday anyway, resting up for my team’s Sunday city league soccer match.
