Here’s why we won’t be at South by Southwest this year:
1. We make real products, not virtual ones.
2. Half our staff is on their way to production facilities all over the world to oversee the finalization of 5 new products coming off the line.
3. We design one brand new consumer product every week.
4. We intend to spend our travel budget selling your products to retailers worldwide rather then frolicking with internet friends.
5. It’s in Texas. (Just kidding… sort of)

you’re crazy – South by Southwest rocks! A lot more relevant than TED (I mean those idiots don’t even get Sarah Silverman humor). It’s an interactive conference and I thought Quirky was about being interactive with the community and technology. guess not.

Loved the Sarah Silverman Talk.
We actually have nothing against SxSW and this was a pretty satirical post. We have lots of good friends there and have gone in years past and will probably go in future years.
This year it overlapped to heavily with production of new products / our short term goals.
