Excellent Friday and AMAZING Saturday show. Best line-up for a day party to be announced thus far. Have yet to spend time on the site, but Superdeluxe seems to know what's going on.

since clearly David Cross curated these shows and not the corporate entity Super Deluxe, it looks like this post may be under attack by a blogging campaign.

Not a blogging campaign, I can assure you that. Although I can appreciate it, I don't seek out this downtown comedy scene stuff either (if that's what it's called?) so I don't have too much interest in Superdeluxe.
I'm just a fan of the bands playing, that's all. A free Walkmen/Black Lips/Ponys/Fucked Up/Deerhunter show is, in my opinion, a pretty sweet afternoon from start to finish.

these shows are awesome.
IS IT WORTH BUYING A BADGE FOR SXSW?! im going with my boyfriend and it's SOOOO expensive.
Posted by sxsw! | February 8, 2007 3:09 PM
u shouldnt buy a badge if you're just going to shows, but SXSW would sue me if they heard me say it.

so what do you recommend in terms of getting into shows and austin in general!!

You can see alot more music with a badge or a wristband. You can't buy tickets to any of the night showcases. If you're just going to see bands, I'd try to get a wristband. You'll probably need a badgeholder to buy you one (I think that each badgeholder is usually allowed to buy 1 or 2 wristbands), but they're much cheaper than badges (150 bucks or something like that it was last year) and you'll only need the priority that the badge offers for a show or two over the course of the week. There's definitely free stuff at night but if I was traveling all the way to Austin, I'd probably cough up a little more money to get the wristband.
You rarely (if ever) need a badge or wristband to get into any of the day parties.

La Hipster or L.A. Hipster? Because if you meant 'La Hipster' as in you're speaking French, then you should have written "L'hipster". Apostrophes replace e or a when preceding vowels or the letter h.
