Headed To Austin!

Written by Mike Rundle on March 9, 2006

One year ago, today, Paul pitched me the idea of 9rules over dinner down in Tampa. I was a bit skeptical, just because our design firm was just taking off and I didn’t know how the two would blend, but after one year of doing both I’m now really happy that we had that chat :)

Paul and I will be headed to Austin tomorrow and we’re really excited to meet many of our members for the first time. 9rules is up for Best Community Site of the Year in the SXSWi Web Awards, 9rules member Bryan Veloso is putting together an all-out Avalonstar Bowling Shindig where 9rules and some of our friends are sponsors, and we’ll probably have many a 9rules get-together over the weekend so be on the lookout for the inevitable Flickr barrage afterwards!
