It's Tom Tom Week!

It’s the week of Thomas Jefferson’s birthday, which means the Tom Tom Founders Festival is back. Tom Tom is a week-long celebration and collision of music, art, innovation, and food in Charlottesville, Virginia, which is just a few miles from where Jefferson was born in Shadwell, Virginia.

Enough about history though. We are excited about the future, specifically the immediate future. Today is the first day of Tom Tom, and the festival continues through Sunday, April 16th.

There is so much that goes on at Tom Tom: it’s like SXSW before it jumped the shark. In order to get a full picture of everything that’s going on, spend some time on their website in the next day or two. Shameless plug: Storyware designed and built it. In the meantime, here are our can’t miss events:
