Video highlights from South by Southwest 2009

We’ve finally recovered from SXSW 2009 and wanted to share a few random video highlights with everyone. Thanks to Hillary for stitching all of this footage together and scouring the Web for some kick-ass Creative Commons music tracks (Courtesy of Rumblefish Music Licensing Store, in addition to: Virgin of the Birds – “City Falcons”, Seahorse – “The Devil And I”, and Telescope – “Run Your Race”).

The six days and nights we spent in Austin were absolutely incredible, and it’s nearly impossible to recap all the stuff we learned into a text post. Here’s the quick version: Amazing new friends, mountains of new insight and knowledge, epic parties, and lots of Shiner Bock! We can’t wait for next year.

Below are a few photos we snagged off of Flickr:
