Dinosaurs are coming to Austin, and they’re ready for dinner.
OneRiot is teaming up with Taptu (the leading mobile search engine) and Loopt (a location-based social mapping service) at the SXSW Interactive Festival to bring a herd of hungry, prehistoric creatures to Austin, TX. Using cellphones, geo-tagging and status updates, Dining with Dino will use the year’s most popular technological advances to bring SXSW attendees back to where it all began: with huge, flesh-eating reptiles.
On the days of March 14, 15 and 16th, thirty inflatable - though massively terrifying - dinosaurs will be abandoned at SXSW hot spots, wearing only a nametag and a set of directions.
#SXSWi conference attendees brave enough to interact with the beasts will unlock a world of dino-sized dinners, as their journey through panels, parties and downtown Austin leads T-Rex and friends to free meals at secret destinations. Just follow @OneRiot and @Taptu Twitter accounts to learn when and where to bring the dinos to score *free drinks and grub* for yourselves and a handful of friends.
