On Sunday March 9, your bestest friends, Threadless, along with the awesome folks at Moo, Etsy, and Timbuk2, will be throwing a PPP – a People Powered Party for this year’s South By Southwest Interactive Festival.

It starts at 9 PM and will be at The Tap Room, 311 Colorado St, in Austin TX.

It’s a celebration of companies like ours that put the community at the center of product design. So come out, community! Enjoy free drinks, nibbles, entertainment (courtesy of a DJ set by the incomparable Flosstradamus), giveaways, fun DIY activities, and all around sweet times. It's also a 21+ event.

We really hope you can make it! It’s sure to be a blast.

If this doesn't require a SXSW wristband or SXSW Badge then I'll probably be there unless something comes up to keep me away.
theurbanraptor
theurbanraptor on Feb 27 '08 at 3:39pm

theurbanraptor
theurbanraptor on Feb 27 '08 at 4:07pm
the only flight i found was 330 and thats pretty expensive for a party if you ask me...
plus i would have to rent a car to get there.

h my bad...nvm
bortwein

Is this event open to the General Public or just SXSW attendees?
Johnny Baboon
   Johnny Baboon on Feb 27 '08 at 4:37pm
will this party involve any or all of the following: drinking, debachery, shamelessly making out in dark corners with strangers, twister, raving, and freak dancing?
martiandrivein
martiandrivein on Feb 27 '08 at 5:12pm
haha, @ bortwein, I wonder why no staff has seen this.

valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Feb 27 '08 at 11:19pm
Anyone going to this needs to check out Port O'Brien. That way you can say you saw them before they got HUGE.
martiandrivein
martiandrivein on Feb 27 '08 at 11:21pm
haha is that your prediction? I saw white rabbits last year, and didn't even know it!
valorandvellum
   valorandvellum on Feb 27 '08 at 11:27pm
Totally. Go listen to the newest version of "I Woke Up Today" and tell me they aren't gonna blow up in the indie scene.

I want to see White Rabbits!

   _Wheels03 on Feb 28 '08 at 12:06am
No way! I just so happen to be living in Austin now... by the way, I went to high school with two of the guys from White Rabbits. Guess I'll see you guys there...

I'd offer up my sofa and guest room but my wife would kill me.

Nestahope on Feb 28 '08 at 12:46pm
I've been to the SXSW with clout. It sucks, ... fi you don't have a prestige badge, wait in line 4evers! I went on a Productions companies tab, and it was frickinawesome, back in the day.

I gots to meet the Harper when he did a show at Market Place, in KC. Doing HR for the porduction company. and ps... my shit doesn't stink, I am elite.
martiandrivein
martiandrivein on Feb 28 '08 at 1:11pm
cool. hopefully I'll be able to make it. I wanna party with harper. haha
Nestahope
Nestahope on Feb 28 '08 at 1:19pm
If you can make it to SXSW in any capacity go, so for being so uppity.

Craig awesome Idea! Austin is one of the coolest, artistic towns in America. Those that can go... do Go!

I've got a blow up mattress if no one can find a hotel, but that's about it. I've never been down here for SXSW, but I can already tell it's gonna be outta control!

YAY!!!! You are coming to ME! To answer lolopop12o...go to http://2008.sxsw.com/

You have to register for events and some cost money and some do not. You can buy a wristband for the whole week for couple hundred dollars that lets you into everything. If you love film and music, it really is worth every penny.
bortwein
   bortwein on Feb 29 '08 at 2:38pm
I'm assuming from shimala's comment that this event Does Not require a wristband... if it does then I'll be sneaking in the back door, because wristbands are lame and I'm not spending $100 to meet one guy from threadless.

or tell Harper to give me a call when he is in town.
