Hello friends,
It’s time to hit the road again, this time to sunny Austin for SXSW! I can’t express how excited I am to get into some nice weather and speak with a lot of fine folks while I’m there – not to mention seeing shows from the nearly 400 bands that booked their SXSW gig using Sonicbids.
In case you haven’t heard yet, we’re hosting an Official SXSW party at Maggie Mae’s on Friday, March 20 from 11:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. Of course, you are cordially invited to join us… but if you RSVP in advance, or present the printed invitations/laminates we’ll be distributing on site, you will have “priority access” to the party. (Yup, that means you’ll get to cut the line.) You can RSVP and also check out the 13 amazing bands that will be playing HERE.
Be sure to also stop by the Sonicbids booth at the trade show (you can’t miss us; we’ll be right across from the Stevie Ray Vaughan Exhibit). While you’re there, don’t forget to enter our giveaways… and let me tell you: we’re not messing around with these giveaways. You could win a Pro Tools 8 Studio Giveaway Package, a Taylor SolidBody Classic Electric Guitar, a Guitar Amp, Pocket Pod, Pod Studio (courtsey of Line 6), or a Sonicbids lifetime membership!
You can get your fill of industry tips and info by checking out the “Artist As Entrepreneur” panel that our very own Panos Panay will be moderating, Wednesday at 1:30. And if that’s not enough for you, Sonicbids communications guru Adam Ritchie will be part of the “Crash Course #4: Online Resources panel” Wednesday at 3:00.
Last but not least, don’t forget to follow me on Twitter @SonicbidsTess since I’ll be traveling around the conference taking photos, doing interviews, video blogging—all that fun stuff. I can’t wait to see you in Austin.
Until then,
Tess
