Live in Downtown Austin? Please let us park in your driveway during SXSW!

Let Avner live in your driveway!

Some of the Boxee team will be down in Austin, TX for the South by Southwest Interactive Festival from March 10-17. The five of us are staying in a glistening 31-foot motorhome that we planned to leave at an RV Park close to the conference downtown. But, hell, it turns out the RV Park closed since we made our reservation, so now out of luck and looking for a driveway to park our beautiful beast.

Can you help us out? We’ll be real quiet (only if you want us to be) and we’re open-minded to barter for rent. In return, we ask for 31 feet of pavement and a couple of trees to hang a hammock. It would real cool of you if you let us host a kegger in your front yard.

If you’d like to offer us a spot, please email me at zach+rv@boxee.tv.

Thank you!!!

    I just came to your site to check in on the status of the Boxee Box and guess what I saw…. Guess who lives 1.4 miles from the Austin Convention Center. Oh yeah. Get up with me and we can see if it is possible.

  11. John Staggs says:

    Well, I’m wondering if you just wanted to park it in front of my house… we don’t own the street.. the city does… but you’ll be next to an elementary school and 2 blocks walking distance from downtown and a good 10 min walk to Austin Convention Center…..

    Austin is rigid about preventing RV parking on the street. Especially during events…

    Gripping, I passed this on to a associate of mine, and he actually bought me lunch because I found this for him, so let me rephrase: Thanks for lunch.
