Another South by Southwest has come and gone – but not without leaving us with an incredible experience, key learnings and most importantly – new friends.

It’s hard to put the #ChevySXSW experience into words, so we thought we’d showcase our time at SX in some pictures we snapped along the way!

Volt Lounge – Our recharge area located right inside the Austin Convention Center.

Catch A Chevy – A free, cab-like service that offered rides around the city throughout SXSW Music, Film and Interactive in new Chevrolet Cruzes.

The Sonic Trade Show – If you saw any Matrix-style, 360° pictures from your friends at SX – they must have come by our Chevy Sonic booth. See more and vote on your favorite.

Qrank – Trivia game with SXSW-specific questions to play on-the-go around the city during the festival.

Connect with Chevy – These power strips were located all over the Convention Center for conference-goers to recharge during those hectic, panel-filled days.

Microsoft Kinect – We had the new Kinect Joy Ride, featuring the Chevy Volt, set up to play in our Volt Lounge as a break from all the panels.

Music Showcase at Maggie Mae’s – Wednesday, March 16 brought awesome, indie talents such as, Black Cards, Reptar, Dinosaur Feathers, The Hounds Below, New Villager and The Kickback.

Black Cards’ Pete Wentz and Bebe Rexha took the stage as our final act of the Chevy Showcase on Wednesday. (See our backstage interview with Black Cards and the other indie bands on Chevrolet’s YouTube page.)

Drive A Chevy – Test drives were a’ plenty! We had many vehicles from our latest line-up ready for a spin around town.

Auditorium Shores – We were at this free, outdoor concert on Thursday night with the Volt, Camaro and Cruze in tow to hear bands like the Strokes play for SX attendees and local Austinites. This event drew in record-setting attendance.

Chevy Showcase – We celebrated the end of SXSW 2011 with our Chevy Showcase at Stubb’s with one heck of a line-up: The Bravery, Panic! at the Disco, AWOLNATION, Tres Mts. and Electric Touch.

And finally – it’s not every day Panic! at the Disco makes a human pyramid with Jackass star, Bam Margera. Thought we’d throw this one in for fun!

Since we had such a great time at this year’s SXSW, we wanted to know: were you at SX? Tell us – what was your favorite part? Leave us a comment below or tweet us a picture at @ChevyTexan.
