What happens when a group of artists, musicians, filmmakers, writers, geeks, and journalists drive an RV from Chicago to Austin — and back — for SXSW? Amazing things, that’s what! Last year our misfit crew of artists and tech nerds took to the open road and had the time of their lives as they uncovered, discovered, and filmed all mid-America had to offer.

This year, four of the original crew return to the bus with three new riders, one who’s flying all the way from England just for the RVSX experience! We hope you’ll think RVSX is just as awesome and join us.
