(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.

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.

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.
