HEY THERE ALL,

SO THIS RIDICULOUSLY FLATTERING THING HAPPENED WHERE HULK WAS ASKED TO BE A PART OF A PANEL AT SXSW. …OR “SOUTH BY …” OR WHATEVER HULK IS SUPPOSED TO CALL IT (HULK HAS OBVIOUSLY NEVER BEEN). BUT CHECK THE SHIT OUT OF THIS LINE-UP:

http://schedule.sxsw.com/2012/events/event_FP11975

JAMES PONIEWOZIK OF TIME!? EMILY FREAKIN NUSSBAUM OF THE NEW YORKER?!?! THEY’RE TWO OF THE MOST ABSURDLY TALENTED AND ACCOMPLISHED WRITERS OUT THERE. AND ALEX ISKOLD, CEO OF A REVOLUTIONIZING COMPANY THAT IS ACTUALLY MANAGING TO QUANTIFY INTERNET VALUE? AND IT’S MODERATED BY ONE OF HULK’S ABSOLUTE FAVORITES, THE GREAT LINDA HOLMES OF NPR?!?!?! SERIOUSLY, THESE ARE SOME OF HULK’S FAVORITE PEOPLE ON THE PLANET. THE VERY IDEA THAT HULK GONNA BE A SMALL PART OF THIS PANEL IS DEEPLY HUMBLING.

BUT THE ROOM ALSO APPARENTLY SEATS OVER 300 PEOPLE, SO THAT MEANS HULK NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT! PLEASE STOP ON BY.

THE PANEL IS SUNDAY MARCH 11 AT 11 AM (REMEMBER AS THE 11TH AT AT 11!) IN ROOM 16AB!

HULK  GONNA TALK ALL ABOUT THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE OF MEDIA, CRITICISM, AND OUR POSSIBLE FUTURE IN THE GREAT UNKNOWN.

BUT THERE’S A REALLY NEAT PART ABOUT ALL OF THIS THAT WAS POINTED OUT BY FREQUENT BADASS COMMENTER DANNY MEARS (VIA TWITTER): @dannymears I love it. NPR. Time Magazine. The New Yorker. BADASS DIGEST. That’s amazing.

HULK AGREE. THAT IS AMAZING. BADASS DIGEST IS REMARKABLE COMMUNITY AND HULK JUST SO THANKFUL TO BE A TINY PART OF IT. IT’S NOT JUST THE ASSOCIATION WITH THE ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE, A COMPANY THAT REPRESENTS SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT CINEMA. REALLY IT’S ABOUT YOUR SUPPORT AND INPUT. YOU ARE JUST AS  MUCH RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF IT AS ANY OF US.

SO IF YOU’RE IN AUSTIN FOR SXSW, ER, SOUTHBYWHATEVER, THEN PLEASE STOP BY! WE’LL HANG OUT AFTER AND GET BOOZE AND TALK AND GET TACOS AND STUFF!
