Our new friends at MiO are presenting The Roxy's 4th Annual AUSTINROX party and we're giving you the lowdown on this new product.

MiO is a game-changing liquid water enhancer.  With MiO you can add all kinds of different flavors right into your water to make it as unique as you are. 

MiO teamed up with, the amazing, Sassy Gay Friend to bring you their take on Macbeth.

Check it out:

The way MiO works is you take the little bottle and Flip it, Tip it and Sip it – flip open the cap to unlock the flavor, tip and squeeze MiO into water, then sip and enjoy. You can add a little or a lot to make your drink just the way you like it.  You can have six delicious flavors on the go and we think that's pretty cool.

See how it works:

MiO is giving away free samples on their Facebook page and you can get them sent right to your door.

The Roxy Theatre is packing up from The Sunset Strip and heading to SXSW for our official 4th Annual AUSTINROX party March 16-17 at The Rusy Spurs in Austin!  In conjunction with Swing House Studios, popchips, ChinaShop, Mobile Roadie, this party is going to the be one you cannot miss.
