EVERYONE (including men and non-SXSW badge holders) IS WELCOME!
First Internet Industry Roast: produced by subvert.com in association with SxSW Interactive and HerDomain of Austin
When: Monday, March 13th
Time: 6:00-10:30 PM
Place: Club de Ville, 900 Red River
The Roast will begin at 8:30!
Come join humorist Heather Gold and a bevy of industry commentators,
survivors and special guests as they call out (if not kill) the goose that
lays the golden eggs: the Internet Industry.
The History of the World Wide Web Wank will be roasted by participants and
special guests, including:
- Liz Belile poet fantastique, author of Polishing the Bayonet, the spoken
word CD "Your Only Other Option is Surgery" and creator of Gynomite: named
Houston's Best Reading Series.
- Paulina Borsook is the author of the forthcoming "Cyberselfish: A critical
romp through the terribly libertarian culture of the high-tech." As she said
in her official bio for "The Best of Suck" years ago, she is
basically a very nice girl who doesn't understand why everyone gets so upset
with what she writes.
- Heather Gold (shifttv, newmedia, SJ Mercury News) is a cross- platform
humourist, web war veteran, and spends her extra time being all things to
all people.
- Justin Hall, featured subject of the film Home Page, and so much more than
can be described in one line.
- Betty Ray is the mayor of fuckertown.com
- Thomas Scoville reformed hacker, novelist, cyber-critic, and e- commerce
conscientious objector. His favorite peripheral is his cat.
Her Domain of Austin is a local women's group whose mission is to encourage
and support women who embrace the culture and technology of the Internet as
a vehicle for creative and professional pursuits.
