2,400 seconds you don’t want to miss
This is your annual reminder: make time for 20x2. Not a lot of time, mind you, but certainly well-spent. This year brings the seventh edition of this popular evening event, wherein 20 guest speakers—artists, webheads, musicians, poets, filmmakers and sundry creatives—are each given two minutes to answer one question. For 2007, it’s “What if?” and the responses are certain to be as diverse as the participants, which include Khoi Vinh, Amanda Congdon, Evan Fleischer, Kevin Lawver, Kevin Cheng, Cindy Li, Southpaw Jones, Glenda Bautista and a dozen others.
The proceedings are corralled by show creator Kevin Newsum and partner Jeff Rider, and presided over with style and wit by emcee Mike Stephens. It all goes down Monday night, March 12, from 7–9:30 pm at a new location this year, The Parish near Sixth and Brazos. Admission is free to SXSW badgeholders and a paltry $10 for the hoi polloi.
