\"\"<\/a>SXSW (or South by Southwest<\/a> if you want to make it easier to say out loud) is a major geekapalooza held every year in Austin, Texas. There’s music, film, and lots and lots of tech nerdery. I’ve wanted to go for a long time.<\/p>

Now’s my chance, but I need your help! I was contacted by Stephanie Smith at JPL who is proposing a panel called \"2012: You Bet Your Asteroid the World Won’t End\"<\/a>, featuring JPL’s Veronica MacGregor, near-Earth asteroid expert, Don Yeomans, and me. The panel would be about end-of-the-world scenarios, something about which I have plenty of fun things to say.<\/p>

The thing is, the panels have to be voted on, and that’s where you come in. All you have to do is go to the SXSW panel picker<\/a>, register (that only takes a sec), and then you can vote for what is undoubtedly the best panel out of the 3285 listed. <\/p>

If you do, I will love you forever and send you a unicorn*<\/a>. But please hurry — voting closes at noon Central (US) time on Friday, September 2. Thanks!<\/p>
