So, we are hosting a party in Austin, TX, as we're marking our strong presence during SXSW. We will have several great bands playing, displaying Opera demos, and show off fashion by Moods of Norway.

We've teamed up with ustream.tv to give you a live stream of the action tomorrow. Be sure to tune in here or check this out if you want chat with people outside of our very own IRC channel. :headbang:

Enjoy!

Live broadcasting will not start until Monday, March 10, at 5:30PM CT.

At the show, we'll be showing off latest versions of My Opera, Opera, Opera Mini, the Wii Internet Channel and some new cool stuff. This is the place to be if you're in Austin for SXSW.

This "Rock Opera" event will also feature several great rock bands from Los Angeles: Gliss, Sabrosa Purr, Taxi Doll, and Austin-natives Lomita and Oliver Future — a band recently rated Best Live Band in Austin.

In adition, Norwegian label Smalltown Supersound, will supply DJ entertainment at the beginning and end of the evening, while Norwegian fashion by Moods of Norway will be shown on artists throughout the show.

Can I Get A Ticket!?

Sure thing! To get your pass, please visit Rock Opera or look for the "Rock Bands Rock Opera" party ticket in your SXSW Interactive Week bag. We will also have several hangover cure stations and a booth, so we'll be handing out passes there too. :headbang:

Where To Meet Up?

This event takes place at Stubb's Ampitheater (behind Stubb's Bar-B-Q), on Monday, March 10, 2008 — 5:30pm through midnight.

Rock with Opera at SXSW 2008!

By Lawmune. Friday, 22. February 2008, 00:08:08

South by Southwest (SXSW) is one of the premier film, music, and media technology festivals in the US. Opera was there last year (for the first time), and we're going to be back again this March...with a vengeance! More details will be announced soon, but we're planning to have a big presence at SXSW, and we hope to see as many Opera users (and Choose Opera members) there as possible.

In fact, if you're an Opera fan living in the Austin, Texas area, and the idea of going to SXSW appeals to you, I have something special to offer two lucky individuals.

We (Opera) have 2 spare registrations for the SXSW Interactive Festival, running from March 7-11. We will gladly give these registrations (at no charge) to 2 My Opera members who would like to attend, do a little volunteer work, and party with us in Austin.

Here's what we'd need from the 2 volunteers:

  1. Spend some time manning the Opera tradeshow booth and other Opera events with us, talking with SXSW attendees about your Opera experience.
  2. Attend different events at SXSW Interactive, such as keynotes, panels, and evening events like the Web Awards, and then blog about them on My Opera (during the event).
  3. Help us to take videos of certain events (such as the Web Browser panel) that we would later post on My Opera.

Here's what you'd get:

  • a Gold-level registration (which would normally cost $650 at the door) that allows full access to SXSW Interactive as well as the SXSW Film Conference and Festival (March 7-15)
  • access to SXSW parties
  • hanging out with Opera, and guaranteed swag

Requirements:

  • You have to be available from at least Sunday-Tuesday, March 9-11.
  • You have to be 18 or over (being 21+, however, will get you into more venues).
  • You are able to provide your own transportation and lodging.
  • You have a laptop you can bring and use, with Wi-Fi.
  • Optional: You have a digital camera you can use to take photos, which will be uploaded to My Opera.

If that sounds like a good deal to you, please email me ASAP at lawrence.eng (at) opera.com
Obviously, slots are limited, and we can't accomodate everybody, so please include a brief self-description and why you think you should be chosen. Thanks! :smile:

Opera talks SXSW

We need your help once again; SXSW is approaching. Don't know what SXSW is? It's an incredible feast of sight, sound and software (in Opera's case) held in Austin, TX.
