SXSW 08 Through Pictures – Gawker Party

words and pictures by Brian Solis

At SXSW, it was incredibly difficult to find a good party. OK, not really. Just wanted to make sure you were paying attention.

One of the more memorable events during a week that seems to only be best described as a blur, was the Gawker Media party.

Mr. Owen Thomas met us at the door to usher us in to begin the whirlwind evening. Thank you Owen.

What preceded next was seeing, meeting, and speaking with everyone I read, admire and enjoy “gawking.”
