    In a strange (good) way, it’s going to be like we never left Vancouver…with so many locals going down.

    This is so cool. I’m glad so many of us are going. We should have made “Vancouver rocks SXSW 2008″ t-shirts :)

    I’ll be there too! Although I’m not from Vancouver, maybe the west coast contingent will make me an honourary “lover of rain” for a few days.
