WordPress SxSW party — 15 invites
Asides
A few super-hip folks (Automattic, Wall Street Journal, and HostGator) are hosting a WordPress party with open bar and all-you-can-eat BBQ on Friday night at SxSW (deets here) but it’s invite only and there’ll be a list at the door. (We can only feed so many people!) However I have 15 spaces to give away to Ma.tt readers, which will go to the first 15 people to comment with a link to an image of the WP logo in a cool place (Photoshop allowed) and your WP-powered blog.
I’m in! – http://dailybooth.com/Joe_Craig/13534097
I will be there.
Is using google image search allowed?

Nope you have to make / take something yourself.
Hi, unless your free ticket comes with a free plane trip to the US all the way from NZ I don’t think I’ll be able to make it
However I thought I’d share my pic anyway since it was really random that you just so happened to say
‘WP logo in a cool place ‘ today of all days~
p/s this is sans-Photoshop

Nice contest Matt! Couldn’t resist adding a little Toronto flavor to the mix:

No go?
How about this logo? http://twitpic.com/2n22db
That’ll work.
If I’m not already going to SxSW can I still enter?

This is speaking for the first time in my life, which happened to be at a WordCamp. I’m sporting my fancy WordPress hoodie. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cwpitcher/5390464437/in/pool-1402499@N20/ (No Photoshop!)
Are you in Austin so you can attend the party?
Well, no…
Now that I think about it, I don’t really think I could make it at all; I just live too far away.
Maybe next year…
Greetings from the Capital of WordPress, Austin!

For my friends from http://columbussxsw.com representing Columbus and raising money as they go to SXSW.
Looks good.
So is that a yes! Are they in!?
Sweet. They will need to decide which one of the team will go. Should I post the name here when they decide? Or, I can have them tweet you?
Send me their email on http://ma.tt/contact/, by Wednesday at latest.
Nice invitation, I want to be in that party!

You got it!
Dear Matt, thank you very much for your answer. The simple fact that you considered and accepted my proposal for this contest is such an honor to me! This reaffirms my belief that there is a better world thanks to new technologies, where creativity leads to success. To know that I have got the ticket to attend the SxSW party makes me feel a first class world citizen. Thank you very much! I live in Córdoba, Argentina, and I travel with and Italian passport that grants me a visa waiver when entering the US (no visa required). The only problem is that I won’t be able to afford the airplane tickets to Austin. Is there anything you can do about it?
Ouch! Sorry you have to be at SxSW already to attend the party.
How about an invite and I can return your watch?
Sorry, rules are rules.
Hi Matt!
http://www.angelajude.com/blog/news/hi-matt/
You’re on the list.
Sounds awesome. Thanks for the opportunity to attend.

Okay, now you’re on the list.
Thank you sir. See you in Austin!
Ooh ooh.. I want in!
WP logo on the UT tower – http://davebonds.com/r/11
I’ve seen that tower a ton of times.
OK. Not cool enough then.
How’s this for cool?

Carried the WP-Logo all the way down from Europe to Cape Town on my may little 50cc Scooter.
Although I won’t be able to make it to SXSW, I thought I’d have some fun with it too. A little friendly competition is always good, right?

Looks like you’ve gotten bitten by the fauxgo: http://wordpress.org/about/logos/
Oh no, not me, it was Dries! He just wants to be a legit WP-for-lifer.
Here ya go — Had to add a bit of my own flavor to this one. Just couldn’t help myself.

Does naming WordPress count? That is like having a WP logo in a creative place … my brain!!! (I’m sorry. I can’t show you that.)
Mike will be along for the ride at SXSWi this year, so I would be a party of 2.
Matt!
I must go to your party. I believe your Matt-Signal is up waiting for you when you get to Austin: http://www.cielomarketing.com/austin_wp.jpg
Hope to see you in SxSW
Nice effect with the reflection.
<3
Ok, wait. I changed my Gravatar just so I could have WP on my brain. Well, on top of my head.
Hopefully that counts! Looking forward to seeing you in Austin!
just for laughs….

I know I’m already on the list, but still, this contest was made for this.
I had the bad logo at first. Good logo on a sandcastle.

I know this is late, but I figured you would appreciate the content!

A little swing ending on that one!
Really hope you haven’t hit the limit yet. I live in Austin, going to SXSWi and was so looking forward to this event.

Hey Matt, am I in?
I don’t have any words to describe this but enjoy! http://messenlehner.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/me.jpg
I’m too slow
Sounds fun. I often mix my passions. Surfing + WP = happiness.

The WordPress panel we are doing at SXSW is Sunday morning! Hope to see you all there.

Don’t know if you’ve hit the limit yet, but I thought this picture was cool and then I had a bit of photoshop fun. http://twitpic.com/45d33t
Hopefully this isn’t too late…
and the logo (sticker) placement is cool enough. This is my analog blog.

Nope but mind fixing up the fauxgo?
Yup np Matt. Just threw that together real quick hoping it wasn’t too late. I’ll stick a real one on & snap a photo a little bit later.
Just returned from a trip to Sydney Australia and snapped this (+ a little PS) http://www.devonvsmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/wp-giraff.001.jpg
