I was going to wait to share this but I just can’t help myself. As an under 21 at SXSW 99% of the programming and events are closed to me after 4pm. I don’t carry a fake id and I have zero ninja stealth skills that could be deployed for sneaking in so I have to find fun ways to be entertained while everyone a few months older than me party their butts off.

Just to highlight the irony of the situation, a friend of mine is part of Techstars but, being 16, could not get into the Techstars party despite being on the VIP list. There is an irony in celebrating entrepreneurship at a younger and younger age and then creating events to celebrate those young people that the young people can’t even get into because they are so young!

What do you do to make up for not being able to get into a bar? You chill with your favorite PBS characters!

Rebecca Kantar and I make friends with Curious George and Clifford
