Hey all,

We’re gearing up for  South by Southwest this year with our friends at Sonicbids, Under the Radar and Vice Magazine to throw three parties in Austin. We’re also taking one of our favorite bands, The Broderick (our 2009 Battle of the Bands winner), on a mini-tour from Chicago to Austin.

JanSport invites all  SXSW 2010 party-goers to view its Heritage Series and enjoy the best independent music, drinks and on-site promotions with giveaways from us.
