My startup, GigMaven, is throwing a day show at Emo's on March 15th during SXSW. We're looking for product demos and I wanted to open it up to the community to see if anyone would be interested in presenting. This would be a great time to show off your project to a lot of people. We also have 12 bands performing and the venue's capacity is around 1500, so should be an awesome time. Please email demos@gigmaven.com if you're interested. Thanks!
