Ladies Lotto Does SXSW

You can pick your nose, and you can pick your friends, but you can't pick your friend's nose. However, until September 4th you have the unique opportunity to help pick panels for SXSW Week 2010 (March 12-20). A few of our lovely and wicked talented LLadies have panels up for consideration via SXSW's Panel Picker and we want to show our support.

Let the ladies and the rest of the voters know what you think about their proposals by giving them a thumbs up and commenting directly to their Panel Picker page. You'll have to register so your vote counts but you won't get anything other than an email with login directions (yay, no spam here!).

And the nominees are:
