While on our SXSW Bootstrap tour we had the privilege of setting up and covering our first live event ever. Texas Splash Fest! The event took place in a city we are all too familiar with…Dallas, TX. We have spent many of nights from posh hotels to the floor at the airport here.
The event took place at the La Playa Beach club which has a vast area for beach volleyball in the heart of Texas. The event was stacked with DJs that played everything from hip hop to EDM. There were performances and video shoots by local artists as well….
This even gave us some valuable experience in terms of how to prepare and set up for live events that for instance have no power outlets available. We were prepared for a scenario without electricity and/or wifi as that could always be the case. In fact we even considered solar panels as well for extended periods of time without access to electricity. But we have deemed that not to be necessary at this point. We are a lean self-funded startup and we don’t spend money on an item until it is actually needed.
Needles to say our portable power supply came in handy at the event as all the patio outlets were not in functioning order. We has a fun time at on our detour from SXSW and look forward to future events like this one.
