Dell Lounge | Spotlight

For ten days in March, the South By Southwest music festival overtook the streets, parks and clubs of Austin, Texas. Thousands of festival-goers lined up to discover music's next big thing. They caught hot film premieres and soaked in the interactive savoir-faire. And of course, they partied — non-stop. The Lounge and its pals were in on the action, with our own parties, events and celebrity appearances. Check it all out here.

The Dell Lounge came to life at the SXSW conference space, featuring intimate musical performances, new Dell products and a fully wired Internet café. For the bloggers, bands and bleary-eyed conference-goers, it served as a cozy home-away-from-home.

Filmmakers, the Lounge wants you for Frame of Reference — the short film contest that could take you all the way to Telluride. Submissions are open now! GO >
