[dorkbotaustin-announce] Dorkbot SXSW 2008!

[mlists at resistive.net]

Hi everyone -

This year's SxSW Dorkbot was a roaring success, I hope you were all able
to make it - most of you must have because according to the SXSW folks at
the door, we had somewhere in the ballpark of 1,300 people pass through
our gate.

I want to extend a huge thank you to our sponsors:
Amaze entertainment  http://www.amazeent.com/
IGDA http://www.igda.org/
SXSW Interactive http://2008.sxsw.com/interactive/
and most of all Make Magazine
http://www.makezine.com/

THANK YOU!  Without our sponsors, the event on Saturday wouldn't have been
in any way possible.

A little bit of press is starting to trickle in

It sounds like, everyone had a good time!
If you have come across any news articles please forward them on to us at
dorkbotaustin at dorkbot.org or post them to the blabber list and we'll put
them up on our recap page when we finish it
If you have pictures (or video - we haven't been able to dig any up yet)
please, post them to the blabber list, we'd love to see them!

If you have any feedback or suggestions about what we could have done
better, please let us know!  Some of the presenters have already mentioned
a few things and we appreciate the feedback.

Lastly, we still have some shirts available.
Here's the designs again - they're all printed on very high quality
American Apparel t's

Rather than hold onto them, we're going to try to pass them on to some of
other Dorkbot groups in the US, so they might not last.  If you're
interested in one, let us know and we can save one for you, shirts are $15

Thanks everyone!

Oh, I almost forgot - Dorkbot 14 is scheduled for April 10th, mark your
calenders!
