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.

go to www.Showlistaustin.com to get RSVPing to all the good day parties and insure yourself loads of free hooch. I'll be @ the filter party on Friday (with the Shout out Louds, Pigeon Detectives, Wombats, and Lightspeed Champion.) wearing something unhip for sure.

Yeah....my spring break is the week after....

At least I can still catch Crystal Castles and Health in Denton, TX on the 16th.
