A chance for iPhone developers to get together, have a drink, and share their creations or favourite apps! (Non-developer iPhone fans of course welcome too though...) Although mostly just an informal get-together, it will feature a talk from Little World Gifts co-founder Paul Stringer on the technical challenges of building an app that fully takes advantage of the iPhone's capabilities (in-app purchase, push notifications, location, interactive 3D), plus Dave Verwer, developer of "Balloons!" talking about the secrets of marketing a hit app.

Monday, March 15 is a great night to preview some of the strongest indie bands from around the world at Dart Music International House at Mi Casa. Although we have Argentine and British bands back-to-back, don't expect any Falklands/Malvinas controversy to get in the way of the non-stop rock. The DMI House will be THE destination for top shelf indie bands from Austin and around the world, spanning the entire duration of the SXSW Conferences and Festivals - and all shows are FREE.
