The Baby is back!

Last week we soft-launched the 2005 incarnation of a long tradition, the informal and thoroughly unofficial SXSW Baby! weblog. After some tweaking and retouching, the Baby is ready to stand on its own and once again be a place for Austin acolytes and those who are considering being a part of the SXSW experience to meet, chat and trade news and tips.

This year, in addition to a focus on the Interactive conference and festival, there are additional categories to discuss the Music and Film portions of the 10-day SXSW gig. There's also a place where folks wanting to share rides or rooms can hook up and, of course, the ever-popular Notes Exchange where, once things are underway, you can post or Trackback your notes on the various conference panels and share them with the world.

The Baby is growing, and there's plenty more to come. I'm going to work on integrating the archives from previous years—such as they are—and folks are stepping up to share their particular knowledge about SXSW. (For example, Kathryn Yu has written this great guide/call-to-action about SXSW Music that's making me wish I could stick around.)

Thanks to pb for all of his help in getting the Baby on its feet, to Movable Type for being simple enough that even I can use it to build something like this, and to Shiner Bock, the official beer in the belly of the builder, the Baby is back!
