DCTH is a group started by @chadengle for the design community. It’s a time (Thursday evenings, btw) for creatives to get together on Twitter and chat, ask questions, give opinions, etc. I’ve been a participant in DCTH for quite some time, but had never met any of these friends in real life… until South by Southwest. Traveling to Austin alone and having instant friends when you arrive is very nice. And getting to know these characters in person was arguably the best part of SXSW. I felt like there was a closer bond between us because of the time spent there, and when it was time to part ways, I was feeling pretty down about it. If you’re a creative and you’re not part of DCTH yet, you’re missing out. These are some good people to know.
OK, enough sappy stuff. Here are the pics:
