Bon Iver

Cut Copy

Parties so far look like.

Diesel, Puma, Vice Magazine, Levis, Jack Daniels, Misprint magazine and tons more to come on locations and how to get into/invited to the parties.

It is the 14-17th of March, so things are still coming together.

I thought we could start a thread for South By South West in Austin. There are always a million parties going on and I want to seperate the good from the bad as early out as possible. I've heard a few things like the Diesel party and the Vice magizne party but thats no even scratching the surface.

Here's a list of confirmed bands so far.

Boots, I got my Wife a sick pair of Fiorentini And Baker moto boots.

Jas M.B. that is what I carry, good call. Most Barney's Co-ops in the states carry them aswell.

Saw some good stuff in there from exclusive kid Robot - APC. I think the Sale is kickin off right about now. The Austin Store definetly had some good deals.

The Clash, it never gets old. I often wonder if music will ever be that good again.

Marc bags and Paul smith wallets have dropped. There are some nice looking wallets on sale for $79, I bet more mens will hit sale after fathers day. I picked up some Paul smith polos and APC button ups for cheap yesterday.

I bet there will be three phases of mark down, some stores have Fall hold overs too so youy can get them for cheap. Whats' left after that goes to the warehouse store in LA & NY.

APC, McQueen, Nice, R&B, and Surface to Air all went 40% off today @ the Austin Co-op.

Paul Smith Pre-fall has also started to arrive.

Well basically the sale starts for real in the stores tomorrow, some has already occured online. There will be a 40% mark down on most APC, PS Smith, Nudies (even Steven fit $109), Levis (Match stick $109), True Reliogion, Acne, Trovata, Cheap Monday ($39 dollars now) , and some Rag and bone are all on sale. In Womens alot of designer like DVF, Hannii Y, Philip Lim 3.1, Daryl K. The Co-op in Austin always has a lot of good stock, you can get their number from the website. In a couple weeks Nice Collective, more Kid Robot, and more BBC will drop. Cheers
