Hello dorkbot-austin alumni!

I'd like to invite you to return as a presenter at dorkbot6 on  
Saturday, March 10 from 6-8PM at Brush Square Park.  Please respond  
as soon as you get this if you think you might be interested.

This is going to be a very special and different dorkbot:

* We have partnered with SxSW-Interactive to put on this dorkbot --  
it will be free and open to the public, regardless
* G4TV will be filming spots from Dorkbot to air nationally
* Free beer and kid-friendly refreshments
* We are in a very good time and space (right across the street from  
the convention center) to get a swarm of SxSW attendees as they are  
unwinding from the day
* Make magazine will be present, including their editors and Maker  
Faire staff
* We are working on getting some city officials to show up
* Noel Wagner is going to be issuing another limited release poster  
for this event
* Treewave will be rocking out on hacked up Atari and Commodore systems

Because we expect a larger, noisy crowd, we are going to arrange this  
dorkbot as "carnival-style" with tables around the venue, allowing  
audience members to come up and ask you questions directly... (we  
will probably tap a couple of the more flashy projects for a less- 
than-3 minute presentation on microphone).

This is going to be a big, exciting, and fun dorkbot.  I hope you'd  
be interested in participating again because I think it will be great  
exposure for your projects among some extremely enthusiastic geeks!   
(Getting a "Class of 2006" picture would be fun too) If not, please  
come by to check out the scene -- it shouldn't be missed!

Please let me know ASAP whether or not you'll be able to bring out  
your stuff, and we can start organizing your specific logistics.

Thanks again!
