SXSW Tweetup

SXSW will be a great opportunity for tweeps from all over to meetup and socialize face to face. It is not our intent to compete with any SXSW events, but rather to just allow tweeps to get to know one another in a relaxed setting. This event will be open to both SXSW attendees and local folks who want to tweetup!

Time and Date

We'll be scheduling around the major South by Southwest evening events planned although obviously there will be dozens of events during Interactive festival. Please feel to contribute those you feel strongly about not conflicting with. Overlap is acceptable.
- League of Technical Voters Carnypocalypse - hosted by @silona, @snax , @ericaogrady and Doryan. To be held tentatively Sunday night, and will include the traditional Nuclear Tacos formerly held on SXSW Interactive Monday. Edit: NTN and LOTV may stay in regular Monday time slot.
- GeekAustin event - hosted by @linearb. Saturday from 6 - 8pm at J. Black's.
- BarCampAustin hosted by @whurley. This event will of slightly less concern as it is much longer.
Possible choices:
- Saturday 4 - 6
- Sunday 5 - 7 or 6-8
- Alternate time? Earlier or later? Longer time?

Location

Rio Rita Cafe y Cantina - Beer, wine and liquor, and also food and coffee. There's definitely WiFi and an outdoor patio, with a few intimate couch settings in the side room and table seating in the front room. About 5 blocks east of I-35.

Reminder: The Austin Convention Center (ACC) is located just west of I-35 and between Cesar Chavez and 4th Street. Most events are held in the Warehouse District (west of Congress Avenue, on or near 4th street), 6th street, or on the Red River district (Red River is just east of ACC and west of I-35) between 6th and 10th street).

Exercise caution anytime you are walking on the downtown streets during SXSW, but take a couple extra precautions when walking east of I-35. Just don't walk alone, or take a cab.
