Domain.com SXSW Party & .CO HQ: Photos

Here are photos from Domain.com’s party in Austin Saturday night and the .CO HQ.

Domain.com threw a party in conjunction with Public Interest Registry (PIR) Saturday night in Austin at the SXSW festival.

A steady cold rain didn’t keep people away. In fact, it may have drawn them to the relative comfort and warmth of dancing in a tent.

For the second year in a row the party featured 80s cover band The Spazmatics. Drinks included “The Domain Fire” and the “Refresh-ORG”.

On the other side of downtown, .CO had a continuously packed house at its pop-up HQ in a storefront attached to the W Hotel. The .CO HQ was open from Friday through Sunday and featured visits by John Battelle, Gary Vaynerchuk, and .co users Backplane and DJ Skee.

Here are some pictures from the .CO HQ:
