After the success of last year’s 8 bit opening night afterparty, we knew we had to do to it again at SXSW Interactive this year. And we knew we needed to do it with friends! So with that, Get Satisfaction is proud to present 16 bit, co-hosted this year with returning favorites 30 Boxes and Rocketboom, but also new additions Laughing Squid, Pownce, Joyent, Comicvine, and Dogster/Catster. Return performances by DJ Invidkllr and DJ V.I.N.cent, and also a stage performance by the Austin-based freakshow 999 Eyes.

Saturday, March 8, 2008
Scoot Inn, 1308 E. 4th St., Austin, TX
10pm to 2am

Mad props to Scott Beale of Laughing Squid for stepping up to help with the organizing this year. Everybody’s contributed to the effort, of course, but we wanted to call out Scott specifically, because that guy really knows how to throw a party! Thanks also to Joshua Ellington, responsible for the beautiful poster you see up above; stay late Saturday night and you can grab one for yourself.

RSVP on all the usual suspects: Upcoming, Facebook, and Pownce.
