More SXSW resources

Here's a list of helpful blog entries and articles about SXSW 2007, either generally or for the film festival:
- The Austin Chronicle has a huge section devoted to SXSW film, as they do every year. One article I particularly liked is good for anyone attending SXSW: "So, Basically, Tacos and Free Beer: Enjoying Good Food and Drink at SXSW for $10 a Day During SXSW" by musician Kathy McCarty.
- Metroblogging Austin has "advice for daytime" for out-of-towners unused to Texas weather. I'd add that I bring bottled water everywhere -- I get those teeny Ozarka bottles and stick them in my purse, I keep cold bottles in my car, etc.
- Austinist is full of SXSW interviews, info, and giveaways right now -- most of it's related to the music festival but you can also find good film fest content.
- SXSW Baby is blogging about all aspects of the festival. They have a film category if you just want to read the film fest stuff. They have some good food guides if you're an out-of-towner. (What I personally need is a good guide to downtown-area food for someone who lives in Austin -- I don't need to be continually steered toward Tex-Mex, I just need to know where I can get a bite running between ACC and the Paramount. Anyone?)
- Keep an eye on Matt Dentler's blog, because you never know when he might post something about SXSW that you'll want to know. After all, he's the source.
