Our brother site Jaunted happens to be down in Austin, Texas this week for the SxSW Festival. Over the next few days, they'll be filling us in on the hotel scene and what celebs are disco napping where.

Yesterday, Ashton Kutcher sent his Twitter followers on a scavenger hunt through downtown Austin. Between 10am and 2pm, he tweeted four clues referencing four different Austin landmarks where you could check into location-based social networking app Foursquare, culminating with a live appearance by @aplusk himself at The Driskill Hotel downtown.

The first to arrive and check in at The Driskill won cameras from the event's sponsor, Nikon. After everyone had checked in, Ashton emerged from a Nikon bus parked next to the hotel and handed out more cameras, as well as a few photo opps for waiting fans. Demi Moore was there too and waved from the bus, but didn't step outside to say hello.

The Driskill is hosting some of SXSW's hottest events this week including meet-ups, press junkets, panels, and maybe even a few more surprises. *wink*

Follow along with more SXSW fun this week over at Jaunted
