Head to the PureVolume House (504 Trinity) today (Saturday, March 13, 2010) from 4PM to 7PM for the South By Small Business Web Happy Hour.

If you love Karaoke and chocolate make sure you RSVP for the TechKaraoke at SXSWi for great time! The TechKaraoke will be taking place on Monday, March 15, 2010 from 8:30PM to 2AM. Not sure if there will also be free drinks, but there’s a chance there will. Chocbite will be passing out FREE chocolate throughout the event, so look out for that if you have a sweet tooth like me.

For some reason I thought I had posted this already but looks like I never got around to it.

You must have the buzzd AND LoKast app on your phone to get through the door. Head to iTunes to download them if you’re planning to attend!
Is it weird that as I am posting about this show Google Chrome crashes on me? Are the BROWSER gods telling me something?!

It will be OPEN for to the first 250 people without wristbands to show up, so space is definitely limited. RSVP via Facebook here.

Berry Flavor Tripping to SXSW 2010.
Meet the miracle berry. This rare fruit native of West Africa will take your taste buds on a psychedelic, Willy Wonka-esque tongue trip. Minutes after consuming the miracle berry, your taste buds will be temporarily transformed so sour and bitter foods taste deliciously sweet. Lemons will taste like lemonade, vinegar like apple juice, and plain yogurt like whipped cream!
Admission includes one miracle berry and a spread of foods selected for its amazing interaction with the fruit. Due to the availability of miracle berries, there are a limited number of tickets for this event.
