Thats right, Skillshare will be part of SXSW hijinks getting revved up and sharing skills. The press release is below, but here are a few highlights: the show is free, the beer is free, and the skills are free! Happy birthday Stem and Leaf!!

Stem and Leaf 2010

For the past 5 years Stem and Leaf has hosted a party during SXSW featuring our friends who are part of the artist collective, and their friends they have made along the way. Every SXSW we pay homage to those who made the events and shows a great time, as well as create lasting friendships for the years to come.

This year it's bigger than ever with two stages and SIXTEEN bands total!

Free Beer and snacks all day, compliments of all of us at Stem and Leaf !!!

Skillshare Austin and The Garden Posse will be helping out with tables of hands on craft making and screen printing.

Austin's Treasure City Thrift will be there with a rack of cute clothes and TCT t-shirts for boys and girls.

Also, a Vintage Clothing Sale will be happening across the alley courtesy of Baltimore House Studio and Friends (next door to Lustre Pearl).

We're holding the party this year at Rainey Manor (90 I-35 South) which is catty corner to Lustre Pearl (Official SXSW Venue). Also directly located off of the I-35 Frontage road just past Cesar Chavez.

Stem and Leaf is a completely DIY upstart of Austin artists. We buy our own beer for our parties. We run our own sound. We make our own snacks with our own hands (don't worry, we wash). We make our signs. We build our own stages.

We are completely DIY, free of any corporate sponsorship or funding.

Your support is always appreciated. You are always loved.

Looking forward to another year, Austin!

Love,
Stem and Leaf - ATX
