Ed. note: With two days until the start of SX Interactive, we asked @CameronatSXSW to help put together a list of the best events for the entire festival. Every single one of these events are in the RSVPster party calendar – if you’re using RSVPster, check for confirmation for these events in your inbox if they had an RSVP – we’re also sending out a list of events that do not send a confirmation very soon. Think of this as your abridged guide to the full calendar – the best of the best – if you link on each link, it’ll take you to the full event listing with line up information, location and more details. We’re also still adding more events to the calendar, and there are several big TBA events to be released before the music part of the festival starts.
