CLM at SXSW - Day 2 & 3

Well, it is Day 3 of our adventure in Austin at SXSW and we are loving it!   If the names of the places we hit up on 6th street over the past couple of nights are any indication (The Chuggin’ Monkey, The Dizzy Rooster and The Thirsty Nickel), it is safe to say we are having fun in this funky, ‘weird’ town.  Nighlife aside though, I do have to say it is invigorating to be in a crowd of people who are enthusiastic about the web, music and film.

So what else has CLM been up to?  

The CLM Trade Show Booth - If you are here, come see us at Booth 616 and figure out the answer to how to ‘make $5000 in 5 minutes’.  Tomorrow’s the last day!  We are offering free Google AdWords and Landing Page live assessments.

Bike Hugger Mobile Social Ride - In true Lance Loveday fashion, he rode in the BikeHugger Mobile Social Ride through the streets of Austin.  What is Bike Hugger?    Best described in their words:

Bike Hugger is bike culture blogged. Our events are for like-minded cycling fans of all types to get together and talk about bikes. They’re like a coffee klatch on bikes, an excuse to get together with your buddies and geek out.

If you happen to be a cycling enthusiast, be sure to check the BikeHugger website out!

BikeHugger Brush Square Park Party - Urban cyclists and conference attendees alike have gotta eat!  Yesterday afternoon we got to mingle in true Texas style eating BBQ at Brush Square Park, right across from the Convention Center.

SXSW Block Party - Tonight was the SXSW Block Party.  CLM held a drawing for a magnum of Silver Oak Cabernet.  I was deeply saddened that internal employees were not eligible for entry.   WORST RULE EVER!  

Hey Cupcake!  -  No trip to Austin would be complete without a stop at Hey Cupcake - a favorite of Lance, Amy G and mine.  The 3 of us insisted on taking the whole gang there for cupcakes to prove that all of our hype was justified.  If in Austin, go to Congress Street and look for a dirt parking lot with an Airstream trailer that has a huge glowing cupcake on top (inconspicuous, I know)  Seriously, one of my favorite Austin destinations (sad, what that says about me). 

So needless to say, lots of fun in Austin and a really fantastic conference.  More to come…
