Land of the free.. / by Geoff Kim

My 10 week adventure of the US is now only just over 2 weeks away. And I'm starting to.... panic?

Be it all those sleepless nights (including tonight) agonising over the finest of details, or totally engrossing myself in Google Maps, or attempting to somehow set a budget - I can't help feel that 10 weeks is just not enough.

And then there's SXSW.

This legendary orgy of all things geekory, now in its 25th year, feels as distant and foreign as it did when I first dreamt of attending 8 years ago. And yet I will be flying into Austin Texas in 392 hours' time.

Terrifying and terrifically exciting, all at the same time.

ps - I think I have settled on an itinerary, and it looks something like this:

Austin > Chicago > Seattle > Vancouver > Portland > LA > Coachella > Las Vegas > New York > Boston > Montreal > Toronto > Washington > New York > San Francisco > LA

Yup.
