It's been a crazy good show for us so far. Our booth has been a hit, people are loving our giveaway shirts and other goodies, and we successfully hosted our first panel (to be blogged about shortly), not including the two we did at BarCampAustin III.

It's well past midnight here, and I only just got back to my hotel room about an hour ago, after a full day of events starting at around 9 this morning. Tonight, Opera participated in the Geeks Love Bowling event where various companies at SXSW fielded teams in bowling tourney. We didn't win it all, unfortunately, but we had fun.

(Rod Hamlin, Opera's bowling ace, was one of the top bowlers at the event and won a prize for his individual performance; more photos to come)

Tomorrow (Monday) will be our most hectic day yet, with the all-important Browser Wars panel at 2PM, and our Rock Opera party at 5:30, plus non-stop browser demos and giveaways in the tradeshow from noon-6PM.

We're streaming concert video from the party live, courtesy of ustream.tv. Visit the following page to enjoy the party with us online! http://my.opera.com/community/blog/2008/03/09/rock-opera-live-broadcasting

At the show, we'll be showing off latest versions of My Opera, Opera, Opera Mini, the Wii Internet Channel and some new cool stuff. This is the place to be if you're in Austin for SXSW.

This "Rock Opera" event will also feature several great rock bands from Los Angeles: Gliss, Sabrosa Purr, Taxi Doll, and Austin-natives Lomita and Oliver Future — a band recently rated Best Live Band in Austin.

In adition, Norwegian label Smalltown Supersound, will supply DJ entertainment at the beginning and end of the evening, while Norwegian fashion by Moods of Norway will be shown on artists throughout the show.

Can I Get A Ticket!?

Sure thing! To get your pass, please visit Rock Opera or look for the "Rock Bands Rock Opera" party ticket in your SXSW Interactive Week bag. We will also have several hangover cure stations and a booth, so we'll be handing out passes there too.
