Keeping in the spirit of not waiting until the last minute, I’m looking to fill out my schedule for South By Southwest Interactive before I get there next week.

My original intent was to drive down Saturday, but it looks like there are a couple of panels on Friday that I don’t want to miss.

This probably isn’t final, but here’s who I’m planning to check out so far.
