Going to SXSW? Come for a drink first

We’re inviting all SXSW-bound Londoners for a drink on Monday 8 March.
Freelancers, agency folk, designers, planners, developers and general rabble-rousers… all are welcome. In fact, even if you’re not actually based in or near London, if you’re going to be in the neighbourhood and you’re headed to Texas soon after, please stop by!
Top 3 reasons to come to Made by Many’s pre-SXSW meet-up:
- Knowledge is power. If you’re a first-timer, this is your chance to corner some people who have gone before and get the skinny on SXSW.
- It’s cool to know people. If you’re headed over on a solo mission or don’t know that many other attendees, this is a prime opportunity to make some connections beforehand.
- It’s Monday — what else are you doing?!
We’ve got some space at Two Floors in Kingly Street and we’ll be there from 6:00pm. Depending on how big a crowd we’re expecting, we might just book out the whole of the first floor, so if you are coming, please let us know (comment on this post, DM or @madebymany us).
Please feel free to share this post and invitation with anyone who might be interested.

A transatlantic breakfast summit
This morning I took part in a transatlantic blogger meet-up in the Martini Lounge (alas, not a one in sight, though it was 9am) at the new Arch Hotel.
The event was organised by our friend Jeremy at Transatlanticism, a New York-based organisation we’ve gotten to know through our work on Metrotwin.
Metrotwin is about creating connections, through people and places, between New York and London. This morning’s chat delivered hugely on that premise, so much so that I thought I would introduce some new additions to my transatlantic universe.
Urban Junkies — met the very stylish Taryn; love the site… both the London and Barcelona versions.
Hint Magazine — Lee Carter’s baby is one of the original online fashion magazines.
Gadling is one of AOL’s travel sites and is stacked with great content about New York, London and beyond. Contributor Annie was on hand this morning.
The Brooklyn Nomad — author Andrew is a lifelong New Yorker and seems to encounter his share of unruly characters. Entertaining.
Matador Network is a motive-driven travel site that has me thinking more about why I travel; author Sarah, just in from Mexico, has me thinking I need some sun.
Refinery29 — met Associate Editor Connie; cruised through the fashion/lifestyle site ‘just for a minute’; am now hopelessly addicted.
