South by Southwest concert? Awesome! It's too bad that I live all the way in Houston. (which isn't really too bad, since the Houston Rodeo is going on right now). It sounds like fun. Good luck.

I'm in the Zune Masters program and I'll be at SXSW. The first showcase I plan on attending is the wednesday night one with NME and Zune at Stubb's.

So, I guess I'll be seeing you around Austin at some point during SXSW!

Hey Cesar, when should I be expecting my swag in the mail? Cheers.

sorry Vel, this should probably go out in about 2 weeks (i'm way too swamped right now to prioritize sending these out)

Hey Cesar...it's you! (1:10 into the video) http://soapbox.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=83d4d73f-5ad8-4a90-8cea-aafa5d695b6f

At first I thought that white cup looking thing was the offical Zune shot glass :)

When will the Zune be available in Canada?:( i'm thinking of giving up and buying an ipod but i want a zune:(

Oh that's alright, I understand how that can be, I was just making sure. =)

ZUNE Chinese blog

I'll see you for breakfast!

Off topic alert - I just noticed a "new this week" playlist in Zune Marketplace - awesome!!  I heard about you guys asking Pitchfork for a partnership previously, but there's really no need as long as you can provide some insight into what's new and good with playlists such as this one.  Great job!!!

For those of you interested, there is a interview with Zune's David Caulton on Twit.tv (http://www.twit.tv/ww17).  Although it talks alot about the music business in general I found it somewhat reassuring about Microsoft's intentions and gave some insight as to how Zune got started..in a Dance Studio! lol

On another note, most of you have probably seen the PS Home demo.  Its really quite cool I think.  Did anyone else catch that you can supposedly share content (music/etc) via this virtual "Social" environment?  It also adds a new dimension to content "Dicovery". Just sayin that these sort of things fit very nicely with the key aspects of Zune. :)

Thanks, John - I posted that a few min. ago here http://zuneinsider.com/archive/2007/03/09/david-caulton-on-twit.aspx

I wasn't around at that time - I came on around May of 06.

Cesar, ill be in austin for sxsw. have any zune sponsored shows been announced?

Could you add Jonathan Powell, Kate Kubena and Gus Smalley on the list for the late night parties (including tonight?)

Thanks,

Jonathan
