This weekend, thousands of WordPress users and fans (including many hosted here on WordPress.com) are among the people attending the South by Southwest (SxSW) Interactive conference in Austin, TX. To celebrate this, we’re throwing a WordPress BBQ at SxSW tomorrow so that there’s a place for us all to get together.
If you’re a WordPress.com user attending SxSW (or you just happen to be in Austin), please join us for lunch after 12pm* tomorrow, Sunday March 14. Come, eat, meet some of the WordPress.com team, talk about the cool things you’re doing with WordPress on your site, let us know what we can do better, talk about some of the new features and themes you’ve been seeing here lately, etc. Think of it like a WordCamp without presentations. See how many WordPress.com staff you can spot chowing down on Matt’s favorite meal. 🙂
Location: Conjunctured coworking space, 1309 East 7th St., Austin, TX 78702. From the convention center, walk up to 7th Street, hang a right, and walk until you get to #1309. If you’re tired of walking, taking a cab is a decent option. Note that this is on the other side of I-35 from the convention center.
* We’ll keep serving until we run out of food, so probably until around 2 or 3? We’ll have a hundred pounds of bbq meat, a bunch of sides, and dozens of gallons of iced tea, so come hungry.
Darn!!! If I would have known…. Of course I’m only 13 so it would be awkward with you older people! 😀 Haha, I would’ve loved to come though, I would make people I know in Texas go, lol. 🙂
Fantastic idea. Terrible bother that I live in St Louis, MO. Austin would be rather a long drive. Enjoy!
Hi, i’m from Indonesia so obviously i can’t attend this event ^^; But hey, i hope you guys & gals can have loads of fun.
WordPress ROCKS!! XD
Yee Haw! Gotta love BBQ in Austin!
Hmmmm sounds good!
Too bad it’s a little too far away from Belgium…
sorry I missed it.
i hope u bbq
I was actually there at SXSW but it was for the music portion (March 17-21) as I was there to perform with my band, PIMPBOT. I am pretty jealous when I hear about the interactive and/or film portion. Sounds really cool. Maybe next year my band can try to play at the interactive parties.
Thanks for organizing a BBQ for my birthday!
I am afraid Holland is too far from Austin 😦 .
But have a great time!!!! XXX
Sorry to have missed it. Thank you.
