10 THINGS TO DO clipix Edelman Digital AT SXSW Edelmandigital.com Clipix.com #edelmandigital #ClipixSXSW SXSW is where music, film & tech come together. Every year, it gets bigger and more difficult to navigate. Whether you're a veteran or SXSW Newbie, this list should be checked off before you leave the Austin city limits. STALK A CELEBRITY Celebrity sightings are common at SXSW and hunting is especially good at The Four Seasons-have your smartphone ready. EAT MEAT Ditch your vegetarian friends and hitch a ride to The Salt Lick or stay put downtown and head to Iron Works for a real protein fix. KARAOKE TILL YOU DROP From "Cogaoke". to Tech Karaoke, there's no shortage of people and places willing to indulge this guilty pleasure. For the more adventurous, there's "Ego's" right off Congress. BE A BLOGGER OK, so we don't call it blogging anymore. Now it's social media. Whatever. You can still do it in the Blogger Lounge at the convention center. GO BATTY No really. Bats. Thousands of them. Just get close to the Congress Bridge at sunset and watch them stream out by the dozens for evening feeding. Look over the bridge for extra cool views. GET A NIGHTCAP 9. What kind of party starts at 10:00? Nightcap with Edelman Digital. Kickoff SXSW right, because sleep is overrated. (Hey, it's our info-graphic). BUY SOME BOOTS Or a hat, or a really big belt buckle. You can get all of that and more authentic Texas gear at Allen's Boots. GET A BREAKFAST TACO (OR THREE) 8. Austin has some of the best. Torchy's for those wanting to stay close to the action, and Guero's is just a Pedi-cab ride away. Also, see #Allhat. WALK INTO A BAR Austin has some of the best local bands who play the bars on 6th street. Hear something you like? Just walk right in and let your ears do the rest. START A CONVERSATION 10 Don't just go to hear people talk-the panels don't define SXSW, the people do. Strike up a conversation with someone you've always wanted to talk to in real life. * Clipix is an Edelman client 2.
