As the hordes of people descend on Austin, Texas this weekend for all the great events and happenings at one of our favorite conferences, SXSW, we’re excited to return to Austin for another LIVE Diggnation! If you were there last year, or saw the episode from last years show (check it out below), you know that this is one of the biggest and fun times for a live Diggnation.

This year is even better than last year too! We’ve got Brian Brushwood, the host of Scam School performing his bizarre magic for the crowd, Diggnation, AND we’ve booked an amazing band, The Walkmen to perform live! We’re back at our favorite BBQ spot in Austin, Stubb’s, since they have such a rad stage and outdoor area.

Here’s the details:
When: March 13th, 2010 – Doors open at 7
Where: Stubb’s – 801 Red River Street, Austin, TX (google maps)
Who: Anyone, 18 and over, no badge of any sort required
How Much?: FREE (yes, free!)

But it doesn’t stop there. We’ve teamed up with our friends at Gowalla to make this event one that you can check into, and if you’re one of the lucky people to check in on Gowalla, you may that you’ve won something, so make sure you’ve got it on your phone and you check in when you get there!

You can tell everyone that you’re going by RSVPing over on Facebook and join the thousands of people planning on attending. We look forward to seeing you there and hope everyone has a great time!

Here at Revision3, we make television, and while we release it through this newfangled thing called “the Internet,” at the end of the day, we make television. So naturally we look forward to opportunities to meet and participate with other members of the Television community, and one of the best events for that is NATPE, The National Association of Television Program Executives. Jim Louderback, Revision3 CEO; Ryan Vance, VP of Programming and Alex Albrecht, host of Diggnation and the Totally Rad Show will be attending and participating on planels at NATPE.

The Celebrity Chef Kitchen is back this year with culinary masters Charlie Palmer, Paul Bartolotta, Richard Blais, and Brian Malarky (just to name a few) cooking up some fun on the marketplace floor.

The confirmed speaker and session moderator list is looking pretty exciting with some major industry giants.
