Sk*rt Cupcakes and Unicorns Go Together Like Sarah Jessica and Parker.

The sk*rt get together, sponsored by Everyday Food, was all that. There were goody bags. There were freebies. There were cupcakes. Plus also a unicorn. We had a fantastic time meeting sk*rt users, eating breakfast and handing out super-cool swag. It was such a great way to start the morning — thanks for joining us!

10 lucky winners received a one-year subscription to Everyday Food plus a goody bag with two super-cool items: a counter top magazine holder (to rest your latest issue of the magazine against while you’re cooking), and a darling green storage box sized to fit a whole year’s worth of Everyday Food — plus, everybody who dropped by was delighted to receive a copy of the lastest issue.

SXSWi is the kind of place where crazy is the norm. So when the unicorn (who was popping up in all the coolest places) made an appearance, we considered it an honor of the highest sort.

And really, what’s better than meeting a unicorn over a cupcake breakfast?

The correct answer: Nothing.

SXSW + SK*RT = LOVE

So the sk*rt chicks made it to SXSWi. And it only took 8 to make the 2.5 hour trip. It was kinda complicated. But we're here. Well, almost. We'll be at the actual event in a few hours. I've been to the music portion of the week a couple of times, and it's amazing. So I'm really looking forward to seeing what the interactive little brother is all about. I've heard it's like a Geeky-Disneyland-Circus on steroids. Sounds fantastic to me.

So the sk*rt chicks will be there. Handing out mints. Because fresh breath is a priority in our lives.

We're even hosting a little SXSWi get together Sunday morning. And you are so invited. If you are going to be anywhere near Austin this weekend, here's the official announcement:

Meet us at City Hall Sunday, March 9th! Swing by Austin Java (301 West 2nd Street) at 9 a.m., and we’ll all be there for an hour or so (or more, or longer or however long we want) and we’ll hang. It’s super close (steps away) from the convention center, so if you’re going to SXSWi, you’ll be right there.

We might even have cupcakes.* Because we’re crazy like that.

Of course, we know that there’s a lot happening on 3/9, so we’re getting an early start…with coffee… and sk*rt lovers…and breakdancers**… and trained monkeys***, and then even more coffee****.

We can’t think of a better way to start a day. You can even let us know you’re coming if you visit the event listing at Upcoming.

And! This just in! Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia and their awesome magazine Everyday Food have just let us know they’ll be giving 10 subscriptions plus 10 cool counter top magazine holders to 10 random people there. So, the most random people win. Kidding. But something like that. Plus, everyone who comes will receive a copy of the latest Everyday Food issue. You know, to read if a SXSW speaker gets boring. It could happen.

We hope you come — we'd love to meet you.

Kisses,
the sk*rt chicks

*Cupcakes could be anything.

**Okay, so not really breakdancers.

***And probably not monkeys. Probably.

****Also, herbal tea, or juice, or gin, or whatever.
