Any AIGA members attending SXSWi, March 7-11, 2008, interested in a meet & greet (or kvetch) please let me know. I’m the AIGA Web director and am looking to arrange a gathering spot during a lunch break. I hope to be joined by Tom Sychay of Thirdwave in opening the floor to a discussion of chapter sites, the eponymous Internet Kit, or any other topic we might actually know something about.
Don’t be a stranger now. AIGA is the professional association for interactive design, too!

Hello all,
I’m pleased to have heard from a bunch of people and hope we can all meet up on Sunday, March 9, 2008 at 12:30 p.m. (following the morning program) at Halcyon Coffeehouse, just about 4 or 5 blocks from the Convention Center:
Halcyon Coffeehouse
218 W. 4th Street, corner of 4th and Lavaca in the Warehouse district
(512) 472-9637
www.halcyonaustin.com‎

I’ll get there early enough to take up space but it would be great if we could gather promptly to leave time for lunch and still get us back to the Convention Center for the 2:00 p.m. presentations.

Should the weather be fair I’ll try to score the patio, otherwise I’ll be inside. Though the food offerings are not extensive (primarily sandwiches), excellent coffee, comfortable seating and free wifi are plentiful!

Feel free to forward this invitation to any other AIGA members, or interested persons. I’m eager to meet you all, and make a place for AIGA in the SXSWi universe.
