Out of the top music blogs out there (MOKB, Aquarium, GVsB) this is probably the best lineup.
Way to go.
I wish I could somehow fly out to Austin later this month but, probably not.

thanks for this party

Very good FAQ, and witty. And nice to know there will be free food and drink, while it lasts. I went to Plutopia last night, and the COA vendors were charging $6 for a glass of wine. Sheesh!
And if your schedule isn't full to the max, Google Co-Lab Escape to the EastSide and GayBiGayGay on the 22nd. GBGG is actually mostly lesbians, like Gretchen Phillips, but it is a great chance to relax and recover from the madness that is SXSW and hear good music.
