I'm going to take a look at what was required to do the first trip.  The idea of using these experiences to put a value on the power of my social capital is becoming more and more interesting to me.  I think this is one way into it.

Lets group things under the following headings:

Kit (camera, phone, laptop etc)
Flights
Accommodation
Travel between cities
Travel within cities
SXSWi
Food & subsistence

I think there'll probably be a post for each of these – it's not as simple as adding up a list of numbers (even if I'd recorded things in any detail) but I think it will help in being more structured in keeping records next year.

I'm starting to look for cash sponsorship for next March's trip to cover those things that can't be received in kind as well as offers of other corporate support.  If you know anyone who'd be interested in getting involved in this way, point them in my direction.Originally posted on Tuttle2Texas2
