You can read more about the Austin Swing Syndicate on their website.

Late Night
1:30am		 6107 Anemone Cove

Afterparty at Joy Nix's House of Joy. This is a party party, not a dance party, so be prepared to be social. Music will be available and dancing is not verboten, so come meet the people you will be with for the next 72 hours! Space is available to crash if you find yourself too... tired to leave.

Friday Evening
8pm to 12:30		 The Fed

Featured DJ on band breaks - Greg Avakian

Saturday Day

Trudy's Central
(409 W. 30th St)

Do you enjoy puzzles? Then join us for a treasure race! No car needed (this is Austin, after all). The race will take about two hours and will consist of solving clues that will lead you to a location containing the next puzzle. We'll be meeting at Trudy's Central at 1:30pm and giving out the first clue at 2pm The race will be setup to be fair to Austinites and non-Austinites alike.

We recommend bringing a cell phone so you can call for help if needed, as well as any reference materials you think might be handy. The race is being organized and run by Competition Unlimited (website), a local company that designs and runs competitions for adults.
The entry fee is $10, contact Party Matt if you have any questions.
