SXSWi Party Roundup
On Saturday the 8th, DorkBot descended on Brush Square Park. What is DorkBot? It’s a science fair powered by “free beer, electricity, tomfoolery, mayhem, makers and music to form one exquisite geek talent show,” sponsored by Make Magazine, SXSW Interactive, the International Game Developers Association of Austin and Amaze Entertainment.
The unbridled geek thrills at DorkBot: touching lives.
Bleep Labs’ Thingamagoops made lots of people happy.
I, DorkBot: These adorable little guys are actually analog synthesizers.
Next stop: frog design’s megabash at the sculptural new Mexican-American Cultural Center.
Nothing bespeaks “interactive good times” quite like glowing green lights.
Grupo Fantasma, Austin’s finest funk/cumbia outfit (and Prince’s personal backing band!) powered the dance party.
The view from inside the MACC.
The party (and the neon glow) continued late into the night at GameTap’s event at club Parkside. Drinks, hors d’oeuvres, DJs and old-school Capcom games stoked the festivities.
The dancefloor: it got PWNED. Thanks to everyone who came out!
