Next week Munitio will be heading down to Austin, Texas to SXSW for a few days of fun, questionable actions, and music. To cap off their first time at SXSW, Munitio has created a Pop-Up Store in conjunction with their friends at Complete Clothing, which will be the only place that the Limited Edition Photek Billets will be released. How limited? Only 15 pairs are available for purchase. This is your only chance to get a hold of the Photek Billets that were previously only available at the 2012 Grammy’s.

The Munitio Pop-Store will only be open for one day, Friday, March 16th 2012, and will feature special in-store appearances from surprise guests and free-giveaways. Because who doesn’t like free stuff and surprises?

Come by, hang out, and try out the best earphones on the planet.

Do you know a rabid Sanrio fan? Obsessed? Hot for Hello Kitty, consumed by Keroppi, batty for Badtz Maru? 

Your Sanrio stalker could be a part of an upcoming documentary that will chronicle Hello Kitty's importation to and subsequent rise to fame in the United States! Pressure Point and R. Rock are putting together this documentary and looking for super fans of the brand to interview and may include some of their stories in the movie! 

If you know a super fan, someone obsessed with a Sanrio character, or with a unique Sanrio story to share with the world, contact them at:
