SCHED* @ SXSW 2010
Ever wonder how many people come together to make a silly little schedule site for the sole purpose of making your week more enjoyable?
From the bottom of my heart, thanks guys:
Al Kirby, thank you for being a ridiculously good friend, designing the Austin Venue Map, our hoodies & tote bags, and all kinds of branding/design help. Even if it meant blowing off your wife to work all weekend with me.
Arkadiy Kukarkin, thank you for gathering data, fixing all kinds of features, and genuinely just being around all the time to help out when others weren’t around.
Ben Hine, thank you for the iPhone app, sticking with us all year, making improvements, and working long hours to get the app approved with augmented reality.
Chirag Mehta, thank you for building something with me, over a weekend, that turned into more than I could’ve imagined.
Dameon + Jakprints team, thank you for seeing my vision and helping me bring the venue map idea to life (something I had been wanting to do for years).
Evan + Mimobot Team, thank you for supporting the venue maps and being excited about helping others.
Ian Van Ness, thank you for building the Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn integration to make SCHED* a truly social experience and ease signup.
John Herren, thank you for stepping in at the final hour and helping out with all kinds of backend issues big and small, adding caching to ensure the server will stay up, and being there for me.
Michael Galpert, thank you for knowing before I did that SCHED* would grow to be something real.
Keaton Kustler, thank you for running our street team, being genuine, self motivated and as excited as I was the very first time I attended SXSW.
Leonard Lin, for improvements and rewrites to backend and frontend to ensure that SXSW and events going forward would enjoy a faster, more reliable experience and the amount of thought and planning to help us grow.
Levi Weaver, thank you for listing an ungodly amount of unofficial events and parties to help keep the goal of being the most complete listing of all things official and unofficial around SXSW accomplishable.
Mark, Amanda + MailChimp team, thank you for believing in SCHED* and helping us bring this tool and hundreds of man hours together for the simple reason of making people’s experience in Austin more enjoyable and easier. A lot of the site and team wouldn’t be around without you.
Marvin McTaw, thank you for believing in me, having never-ending patience and understanding, helping our clients at all hours of the night and living the dream with me.
Paul Lamere, thank you for loving SXSW as much as I do, and wanting to push the limits of what others were doing around artist discovery and building an amazing new tool with me that makes it possible.
Rob Duffy, thank you for being one of my favorite people in the world, always supporting us on your blog, and matching my obsession with a crazy weeklong event in the middle of Texas every year.
SXSW, Inc + Team, thank you for creating my favorite week of the entire year.

The photo above of workers in an Indian coal mine was taken by Sebastiao Salgado in 1989. If all went well, these three dudes still have a job working in an Indian coal mine 20 years later. They’re not psyched to swing picks all day while the earth drops filth on their faces, but they are heartened by the pennies they’re able to put on the table when they get home. Apples and oranges, but really, after all this time, are Em and Wayne really going to come with a collabo complaining about how much their lives suck?
