So I’m really excited. This Thursday in Austin, HackCollege will be throwing its first party ever. It’s been a dream of all of ours to be able to do things like this. Thanks to our friends and loyal sponsor Radar.net, HC will have its first party this Thursday at Cuatros in Austin.
If this goes well, who knows? Maybe we’ll drop out and just throw parties.
The Deets:
What: Radar.net presents the HackCollege SXSW Party [Facebook Event]
Where: Cuatros, 24th and San Gabriel [Google Map]
When: 7pm – 10pm (or later?)
Why: To Make Party
How: Giving away a SXSW Gold Pass, 2 Pantech Matrix Pro phones, HackCollege mugs, Radar swag and free beer for the first 250 guests. The party is all ages.
So if you’re in Austin for SXSW or attend UT, come out this Thursday. Put your party shirt on.
