Have you ever wished you were someone else? Like someone ten feet tall with a horse tail and natty dreds?

NERDLINGS, YOUR DREAMS ARE ABOUT TO COME TRUE.

Tomorrow afternoon, Avatar aficionados from around the globe will gather for the first annual Fake SXSW Live Avatar Role Play (LARPing) Festival.

Try your hand hunting armadillo with nothing more than a bow and arrow.  Roast Tofurky dogs over the smouldering remains of the Tree of Life.  Test your skills putting a condom over your tail in under 30 seconds.

What do you think? Should we do shots beforehand? LMK!

Here’s some footage from the last LARPing festival in Hometree, Wisconsin.

Each year, dozens of thousands of millions of people flock to Austin, Texas for a unique convergence of music, film, beer, interactive media whoozits, BBQ sauce stains, margaritas vomit, sweat and tears.

You aren’t one of them.

But you’re good enough for #fakeSXSW – the virtual get together where you don’t have to leave your home in order to attend. You can host a panel. post your handle or smoke your sandal. It’s all free and and it’s all here and so are you so hello.
