Please join Flickr, Upcoming.org, Del.icio.us, and Yahoo!, for Happy Hour on Sunday March 12 at Iron Cactus on the corner of Trinity and 6th from 5 to 7-ish. It'll be fun!
Note: Space is limited, so please mark that you're attending this event to get on the guest list. Yup, this means you need to have an Upcoming.org account to RSVP (cads!), but I'm sure you already have one!
Update: If you are a Flickr, del.icio.us or Upcoming.org user but don't have a SXSW badge, please RSVP here and we'll get you in!
3/9 Update:Whoa, we reached our maximum attendence limit the other day. Feel free to 'watch' the event and we'll see what we can do (same w/ people with badges), but unfortunately, things will be a madhouse since we'll be at capacity (and we definitely don't want to get shut down by the fire marshall!)
Also, be sure to check out the SXSW 2006 group for more SXSW events.
showgazer, I think the big concern is capacity, but keep an eye out on this as we near SXSW, if we can, we'll strike the badge requirements or try to figure something out.
i'm coming into austin this year from the east coast and i'd like to bring my boyfriend, who's not attending the conference (we're architecture students these days = broke = interactive not nec. of interest to him). how do we work things out with significant others? he won't have a badge.
sxsw wristband needed? Or conference badge? Wah. All I have is my Flickr badge. You might want to mention that on the blog post, that will help keep your anticipated attendance numbers a little more true.
Moving myself to the "watching this event" list...have fun y'all!
I am a flickr (kitykity) and del.icio.us (kitykity) user... and I would LOVE to be able to attend SXSW this Sunday 3/12... can you please hook me up with a badge? Feel free to email me!
Whoa! Hey guys, we reached our maxattend limit the other day.
Feel free to 'watch' the event and we'll see what we can do (same w/ people with badges), but unfortunately, things will be a madhouse since we'll be at capacity (and we definitely don't want to get shut down by the fire marshall!)
tackaberry, unfortunately, all the people on the 'Watching' list to the right are ahead of you.
You can put yourself on there, but to be perfectly honest, you probably won't get in. We'd love to have everyone who wants to attend to be able to, but the laws of physics are working against us here.
I do want to welcome you and some of the new users who've just recently joined. Be sure to add some metros and maybe watch some of the calendars of some interesting people in your area. We're working really hard to make the experience better and easier for new users, but if you poke around a bit, we think you'll find it worthwhile.
Nick, definitely post a link when you get something set up. The list of parties is pretty comprehensive at the SXSW Group. It looks like the other official bash at the same time is the Web Awards pre-party.
As of 7 pm there are definitely less than 100 people here, so there's room if you're still online. I know it's officially over, but things still seem to be hopping. Bring earplugs (just for hearing preservation - the band is good)
raines, unfortunately, we had to turn people away. i don't have an exact count, but I believe we went way over 400 (most of were upstairs/on the roof).
i think everyone that got in had a good time, so we may have to look at expanding next time (!)
please ignore previous comment, that was before WiFi evaporated and before I discovered the upstairs (I think someone was trying to tell me but the band was too noisy to hear 'em)
