Way weird.

BuzzFeed got weird in Austin last week.


Slurp-beys were served:

Yes, BuzzFeed's BFF Clubhouse with Visa took over Rainey Street with Queen Bey herself!

Fortunes were told via emojis...

A party was thrown with CW's iZombie!

6th St. was explored whilst wearing high-fashion tech accessories.

BFF Editorial Director Summer Burton received a little love advice.

... and gave her own with her big, little talk on what BuzzFeed BFF is up to and the future of distributed media.

Publisher Dao Nguyen dropped some serious data knowledge.

CEO Jonah Peretti talked about the way BuzzFeed is thinking about content, brands, technology, and ALL OF THE THINGS. (And got weirded out by his own echo.)
