Man how time flies. Is it almost SXSW again? You'd better believe it, and 20x2 8.0 is shaping up to be something special. More surprises to come, but keep your eyes peeled for future announcements. See ya soon back at The Parish!

Clarification: if you read the Austin Chronicle this week and saw the 20x2 show time listed differently than it is on this site, please note that doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7 pm. We always advise getting in early to avoid the jam at the door. See ya tonight!

What's the Unwritten Rule? The Unwritten Rule (which, technically, I guess I'm writing here) states this: send us your question ideas. If you come up with a question that is so great we can't help but use it, we'll offer you one of the twenty spots. It's that simple. Send your question ideas to info (AT) 20x2.org, subject line: 20x2 Question Idea. We're always looking for new and interesting questions that beg a world of possibilites and we'd love to hear your take on it. Who knows, you might even get a speaking slot out of it.

Busy on February 15th? In or around Austin? Then join 20x2 for our Post-UK Pre-SXSW party at Progress Coffee. We're taking a look back at the fantastic London show, previewing the upcoming March 12th event at SXSW, and we'll enjoy sets from 20x2 past and future performers Shane Bartell, Darin Murphy and Kacy Crowley. Oh, and we'll buy you a cold one. And we're giving away an iPod. I'm just saying, it's better than a sharp stick in the eye. Special thanks to Shiny Object and Made to Stick.

For the first time ever, we did something genuinely different, yet familiar. 20x2 went halfway around the world to London and brought the show to Soho. Many thanks to our twenty, who answered "Where Am I?" in a variety of truly innovative and provocative ways. Next up? Monday, March 12th at SXSW! For a recap of version 6.5, see the past events page.

That buzz we were talking about? Can you hear it? A very nice send-up in the most recent Flavorpill London regarding the show at Madame Jojo's. And how about Time Out London for good measure? Stop in and see us on Sunday for the show, or ping us about the 'semi-promotional' pub crawl we'll be on in London on Saturday to continue to get the word out. Oy!

We're almost exactly a month out, and some interesting things are happening. The word is getting around. It's getting out that well, getting out on November 19th could mean seeing something exciting, something original. It could mean being there when talents like Gavin Strange take a swipe at two minutes by interpreting our latest query. Even the tireless Andy Budd (who we hope can overcome jet lag to see the show) said some very nice things in anticipation of our initial visit to the Soho scene. And have you ever seen Foundry's work? Wow. The list goes on and on. It definitely won't be boring.
And if you're near London on 19 November, do try to join us at Madame Jojo's. If it's like any of the past 20x2 events, you'll have stories to share for much longer than the sum of their parts.

So it's true. For the first time ever, 20x2 is playing the UK. Check in from time to time to see who's taking part in the showcase, but suffice it to say we're cooking up plenty of the usual creative stew. Two months from today at Madame Jojo's in Soho, London, 20x2 asks "Where Am I?" Can't wait!

A very nice write-up in The Bostonist. Not Quite Twenty Questions, indeed.

Namechecked in the San Francisco Chronicle! Our future hatches Monday night. Also, for the first time ever, 20x2 is hosting a silent auction. Six former 20x2 participants are creating one-of-a-kind shirts based on our six SXSW questions. See:

Tim O. Thompson on "What is Real?"

Tell a friend, tell a neighbor, tell a friendly neighbor. Version 4.5 moves back to familiar environs at Tambaleo but mines new ground with a brand-spanking (ever wonder where *that* phrase came from) new question and twenty performances from which to choose. Check back often for additions to the list, but come to the show for special surprises.
