South by Southwest 2012 (know as SXSW) is taking place in Austin, Texas, and my husband is attending live and in person.

I, however, am home with our 4-year-old and our dogs who just had surgery. I'll get to join in the fun tomorrow, but in the meantime, I'm keeping up with the scene via Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and the various live blogs going on.
