(SXSW People Powered) Party With Threadless!!

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.

Cool Reilly, since I didn't really get to chat with you in Chicago.

martiandrivein on Feb 27 '08 at 3:11pm

theurbanraptor on Feb 27 '08 at 3:12pm

im really tempted to go to this...

FRICKINAWESOME on Feb 27 '08 at 3:13pm

Crap. This sounds pants-poopingly awesome.

martiandrivein on Feb 27 '08 at 3:14pm

You should Caleb. SXSW is super rad.

kiLLyou on Feb 27 '08 at 3:24pm

I'll probably be there

jublin on Feb 27 '08 at 3:27pm

ew i hate parties

bortwein on Feb 27 '08 at 3:30pm

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 on Feb 27 '08 at 3:39pm

do i have to get anything other than my ticket?

theurbanraptor on Feb 27 '08 at 3:51pm

330 dollars....ug

kayceislost on Feb 27 '08 at 3:52pm

holy freaking crap.

martiandrivein on Feb 27 '08 at 4:06pm

330?I thought it was 250

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.

martiandrivein on Feb 27 '08 at 4:07pm

h my bad...nvm

bortwein on Feb 27 '08 at 4:33pm

Is this event open to the General Public or just SXSW attendees?

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 on Feb 27 '08 at 5:12pm

haha, @ bortwein, I wonder why no staff has seen this.

shimala on Feb 27 '08 at 5:14pm

It's open to the public but there's a capacity limit

Jackanapes mk.II on Feb 27 '08 at 5:17pm

Ugh.

Why did I leave Texas?

martiandrivein on Feb 27 '08 at 5:18pm

Craig, who's coming from Threadless?

KBShakedown on Feb 27 '08 at 5:20pm

Why in the hell is every thing I want to go to at SXSW 21+?

I'm going to shank someone.

martiandrivein on Feb 27 '08 at 5:21pm

that's how I felt last year when I went, but there's still alotta rad stuff.

nikolina100 on Feb 27 '08 at 5:21pm

Texas....so close(not really) yet so faaaar! :( Sounds SO good!!

martiandrivein on Feb 27 '08 at 5:23pm

haha i'm in TX and austin is so far!

bortwein on Feb 27 '08 at 8:05pm

Alright it's free and I'm in Austin. I'm so there!

kooky love on Feb 27 '08 at 8:15pm

COOL!

bortwein on Feb 27 '08 at 8:38pm

So who is going to be there?

martiandrivein on Feb 27 '08 at 9:47pm

Me...and you...and which t-less staff?

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 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 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...

leenx on Feb 28 '08 at 1:48am

see you there!

shimala on Feb 28 '08 at 9:38am

sounds like only Harper will be there. There's no hotel rooms left

bortwein on Feb 28 '08 at 12:39pm

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 on Feb 28 '08 at 1:11pm

cool. hopefully I'll be able to make it. I wanna party with harper. haha

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!

bortwein on Feb 28 '08 at 2:26pm

you are weird.

Nestahope on Feb 28 '08 at 2:40pm

Thank you!
maybe we discuss over a glass of port...wine

Kerrn on Feb 28 '08 at 3:56pm

3 hours isnt that far rolf.

-k.

bortwein on Feb 28 '08 at 4:18pm

Start driving now and you'll make it in plenty of time.

lolypop120 on Feb 28 '08 at 7:24pm

how do we get on the list or whatevs if we're there? Do we just need a badge or no? I'd love to go to y'alls parrrtay!

_Wheels03 on Feb 28 '08 at 7:38pm

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!

martiandrivein on Feb 28 '08 at 7:44pm

it's awesome. I went last year. lots of fun, and free stuff.

bortwein on Feb 28 '08 at 8:37pm

lolypop: FYI

LightbringerJoy on Feb 29 '08 at 12:53pm

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 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.

bortwein on Feb 29 '08 at 3:59pm

bump

bortwein on Feb 29 '08 at 10:47pm

Seriously Bump...

bortwein on Mar 01 '08 at 8:25am

Morning Bump...

muzetta on Mar 03 '08 at 5:32pm

velondasue on Mar 03 '08 at 5:36pm

YESSSSS! fuck yeah i'll be there what a great way to start off the sxsw week ahead, south by is going to rock this year!!

Jebbie on Mar 03 '08 at 5:38pm

Oh I'm only 20. Lame.

rtvu2 on Mar 04 '08 at 11:20am

Hey does everyone realize that Sunday will be Day Light Savings...Spring Forward Kids!

I'm in Austin, if I can get my friends to join me, I'll drop by in my threadless goodness...

You'll need an invite (in the schwag bag) to get into this party. You can always approach one of the organizers for one.

bortwein on Mar 06 '08 at 12:20pm

any chance Threadless could overnight me a pass?

bortwein on Mar 06 '08 at 12:20pm

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

bortwein on Mar 06 '08 at 12:22pm

Harper is the guy in this photo, right?
