For one week in March, Austin turns into the hippest, tattooiest, spiky hairiest city on the planet. It’s SXSW Music and Media Conference and Festival and it’s one of the most well-known music, film and media/interactive festivals in the world.
Although, SXSW (also referred to as “South By”), is most known for its music showcase of the best in new, young talent, it has also featured a strong Interactive and Media component since SXSW began in 1987.
The show is particularly fun for Pluck because it’s in our backyard! So, we like to show attendees a good time - like last year. First, there is our booth on the trade show floor where we will be hosting “Extreme Blog Makeover” for bloggers interested in getting tips from members of the BlogBurst editorial staff on how to get more visibility for their blogs through focus, writing style and design. The booth itself will also feature some places to sit and take a load off and just blog about SXSW in general. And, not to be missed - we will give anyone who comes to the booth for a “makeove” some specially made Pluck silly putty. Yeah - you heard us!
On Sunday - the party! Yes, the Pluck party - the very same one we hosted last year as the premier Post Web Awards party at Club de Ville near the Convention Center with DJ Mel. Last year, this party outdid all expectations (it was going strong with dancers and tech merriment until 2 am) when the bar had to shut down. So you won’t want to miss it.
If you are in town for SXSW, please, please email tnelson@pluck.com because we are eager to show any of our BlogBurst members and anyone interested in BlogBurst a good time. Austin is our hometown and SXSW is one of our best events of the year.
