    Music + Film + Interactive?!? That’s me. Seriously.

    Here’s my entry – check out the various links and the demo reel video at the end…I think it’s clear that if anyone deserves to attend, I’m your man. Not only will I be there as a happy guest, but I think I’d be a valid contributor as well, too all three of SXSW’s branches :-)

    Thanks for putting this contest out there. It’s the first contest I’ve ever publicly been in and I’m glad you gave me the courage to do it. I found some really great people to add to my community and my idea really demonstrated the amount of generosity and inspiration people are willing to put forth for others on the web.

    Great contest idea! I’ve put up the first post on our newest blog as my entry. Since I can’t sing as well as Angela, I’m sticking with photography instead.

    Here’s my entry: http://bradandjeannine.com/

    Hope to see you all at SXSW.

    Whoa… a free ticket to South by South West!?!!?!? A chance to hang out with some of the coolest people on the planet!?!?! How could I pass this up!?!?

    Here is my entry on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBjbHxJY-vA a full resolution version is being uploaded to my blog http://www.thecodecave.com currently for inclusion in a post which I’ll link back here.

    I hope I do win this ticket because it’ll be great to hang out with you guys and this IS one of the absolute BEST events there is. If not, I’ll fall back on the offer I made on twitter.. to shave my head and henna tattoo the sponsor company’s logo on my newly bald pate… Seriously though.. I hope I win!

    YouTube seemed to have choked a little bit… It has my video there twice, uploaded within 5 minutes of each other. The first vid, linked to above, has been processiing since 10:36pst. The copy of the vid, uploaded at 10:43pst and processed quickly. If the first link never finishes for whatever reason, I’ll keep this one up… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGd2eSaCgYk
