I am overly excited to help announce the first ever PORTALS SXSW Showcase! That’s right, the crew is headed to Austin next month to be a part of the action and help throw a killer party! It comes equipped with BBQ, drinks, more music than you could possibly want, some super nerdy bloggers, transportation via the PORTALSbus! and some amazing sponsors. Ex.fm and The Basic Fund have been kind enough to throw down and help us get this thing going, and we couldn’t be more thankful.

Here’s some of the deets:

PORTALSXSW :: March 15th 2012 :: 1-10:30 PM :: 2305 Riverside Farm, Austin TX
