SXSW
It's been, again, an admittedly long time since I've called on the help of my fellow moggers, but the time has come.
My band was accepted to South By South West about a month ago and after the long process of trying to convince both my teachers and parents that playing there was a more worthwhile experience than the 5 days of school Id be missing I finally got the OK.
Obviously I'm excited beyond belief, but now comes the part I hadn't prepared for, where do I go? What's the deal with sxsw? I'm coming thoroughly unprepared, I'll have a band wristband (so I think that gets me in most everywhere, probably still not 21+ stuff) but I don't know where to go and who to see. What's the deal with all the special parties that I've heard often had better artists than the actual sxsw bands? I think you know the rest of where I'm going with this.
So if you've been to sxsw and have any insight to share, or where i can find a list of all the shows (i scoured the sxsw website, but couldn't find one) anything to help me navigate the magnitude of greatness that will be Austin would be much appreciated.
Thanks all, hopefully I'll catch some of you there!
ps. If you're around and want to catch one of our (Please Quiet Ourselves) shows we're playing an unofficial (not part of sxsw) day party on the 14th @ Lovejoy's w/ Jukebox the Ghost, Magic Magic, and Pash. We'll also be playing the Fanatic Showcase (part of sxsw) which has yet to be dated.
