DIY is happening all over SXSW, from silk-screened T-shirts and CD cases to panel sessions on selling your art. There are also some informative podcasts on the SXSW Web site, of particular interest was the podcast on Tips For Making Ideas Happen. ReadyMade magazine is hosting a shin dig at Halcyon this Saturday from 11 a.m to 4 p.m. I’ll be back Monday to report on the happening, and ReadyMade will be Tweeting from the event.
