SXSW



Well, SXSW is over. We survived...barely. It is amazing how little sleep you can actually function on. I wouldn't say fully function, for there were a few times even the most simplest of tasks seemed to take forever to execute. We will chalk this one up as a huge success and we are very pleased with everything we accomplished. We couldn't have been at a better locations and our experience working with first the Blackberry and Foodspotting staff, and then the PureVolume House folks was excellent. The PureVolume staff was truly a pleasure to work with and we gained some new friends throughout the week. We had a few celebrity diners and even got to feed Bam Margera while he was sitting inside the trailer. This took place while we were on full throttle accommodating a never-ending flood of about to be very satisfied customers. We moved through a ton of food this week. We are very thankful we had the opportunity to share our creativity and passion for food with so many people. We hope that this momentum continues and we can begin to really grow our business and take Along Came A Slider to new levels. We are meeting with the owner of a new location that we have pretty much locked down to go over final details and will make an announcement as soon as we know for sure. Oh yes, and the new menu. Wait until you see the new menu and specials we have in store for our fans now. I've been doing a lot of reading and have been feeling very inspired. Thanks to everyone that help made our first SXSW a success. Special thanks to: Leslie Johnson, April Hernandez, Javier Martinez, and Rick Padilla for helping us manage the crowds this week and going above and beyond our expectations. We couldn't have done it without your help.
