The Posse’s on the Loose at SXSW

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

To mark the imminent release of Web Standards Creativity - a book that covers a wide range of inventive web techniques, using tricks from the world of DOM scripting, CSS and more, and all with web standards front and centre - the whole posse of authors (well, apart from one notable exception) are going to be having a little competition at this year’s SXSW Interactive. Coincidence or otherwise, all of the individual chapter authors are not only going to be at SXSW, but we’re all speaking at one or more sessions - your task is to track each and every one of us down to get a chance to win a copy of the book.

There are ten copies to give away and all you need to do is:

  1. Print out the PDF below
    Wanted: These ten authors
  2. Track each of us down (the flyer has a picture of each of us and where we’ll be speaking)
  3. Ask us nicely to stamp the relevant section on the flyer.
  4. Buy us a beer (optional)
  5. Offer up some mindless chit chat (optional) before finding your next victim, I mean author
  6. When you’ve got the whole set, be sure to ask your final stamper to mark the time/date and sign it for you (the final stamper will need to retain the flyer or just tear off that bottom section as proof)

The first ten people to complete the flyers will each get a copy of the book, once it’s available to ship. Good luck!
