Have you ever wished you were someone else? Like someone ten feet tall with a horse tail and natty dreds?

NERDLINGS, YOUR DREAMS ARE ABOUT TO COME TRUE.

Tomorrow afternoon, Avatar aficionados from around the globe will gather for the first annual Fake SXSW Live Avatar Role Play (LARPing) Festival.

Try your hand hunting armadillo with nothing more than a bow and arrow.  Roast Tofurky dogs over the smouldering remains of the Tree of Life.  Test your skills putting a condom over your tail in under 30 seconds.

What do you think? Should we do shots beforehand? LMK!

Here’s some footage from the last LARPing festival in Hometree, Wisconsin.

Frisbee Golf is Austin’s official sport and what better way to celebrate than with the 32nd Annual Celebrity Pro Am Frisbee Golf playoffs? And for the 32nd year in a row the even is hosted by rock and roller Huey Lewis and Instadiva Lady GaGa. (Note: This is the first year that Mr. Lewis will not be accompied by The News, since The News declared bankruptcy this past November due to competitin from the internet.)

Do you look like Chris Brogan?  Devious glint in your eye, scruffy goatee, ready to impart pearls of social media wisdom to the slobbering masses?

C’mon, you know who you are!

Anyhoo… I have it from a very credible source that there will be a Chris Brogan lookalike contest on Sunday at #fakesxsw, and that the grand prize is an autographed copy of Brian Solis’ white-hot new book ”Engage: The Complete Guide for Brands and Businesses to Build, Cultivate, and Measure Success in the New Web.”

Here’s the thing – I really want to win this contest, and let me tell you, I’m pretty much a shoo-in.  I’m scruffy.  I’m glinty. I can grow a goatee by Sunday.  BUT – I am also already camped out at the Tattoo Zone for the head shaving/tattoo dealio at the Zappos booth.

Can anyone save my place in line?? LMK!

@socialphanboy

You can’t make this shit up – my sources tell me that the crew at Zappos are going to set up a tattoo parlor at their booth where they will shave you bald and tattoo the Zappos logo on your head.

Free haircut plus an awesome Zappos tattoo on my head? See you in line!

p.s. In a stroke of cross-marketing genuis, you’ll be able to check in at the Tattoo Zone on foursquare but NOT on Gowalla.

Each year, dozens of thousands of millions of people flock to Austin, Texas for a unique convergence of music, film, beer, interactive media whoozits, BBQ sauce stains, margaritas vomit, sweat and tears.

You aren’t one of them.

But you’re good enough for #fakeSXSW – the virtual get together where you don’t have to leave your home in order to attend. You can host a panel. post your handle or smoke your sandal. It’s all free and and it’s all here and so are you so hello.
