    As previously mentioned, there's a ton of free stuff happening, unofficial and otherwise. Especially during the day, actually. I too live in town, but I think the only SXSW proper thing I'm considering is the Circle Jerks/HR Band/Echo and the Bunnymen show at Emo's.

    I'm going to sit over here and weep, jealously, at those of you who can attend.

    I'm miss my home town like you wouldn't believe.

    @ racingpenguins - I've gone on three tours across the US with the Spankers since last June, but because of work/gig commitments here in town I'm not with them on the road right now :( I will be working with them again when they return, so if you want to catch a show sometime give me a heads up and I can put you on the guest list--we like to take care of our friends and affiliates.

    Eyedea & Abilities are beyond proper description and praise. They are phenomenal and indeed seriously underrated.

    @racingpenguins

    I have to second those recommendations. Westin (tallest man ever) is an acquaintance of mine, and a good friend of mine does sound for the Spankers. They both put on phenomenal shows. The Shivers are playing a show with another really great Austin band, Shotgun Party, who are fantastic. Three-piece Texas-swing, jazz outfit. Tiniest Bar in Texas, on the 19th.

    Also, Buttercup, from San Antonio, is a fun indie rock group that puts on one of the most enjoyable shows I think I've ever been to. They do strange things. It's quite charming.

    And now, I'll weep bitterly for the platinum badge that I will never acquire, as I shuffle to the packed free shows.

    Edited to add: I just realized @element53 IS that friend from the Spankers. *facepalm* Lurk moar...

    @St.Bernard - I'm not surprised you know Westen. I've come to the conclusion that he knows or is acquaintances with 90% of the people in the greater Austin area.

    Apparently Psych Fest 2 (Black Angels, Dead Meadow, A Place To Bury Strangers, The Warlocks, etc.) is running right before, from the 13th-15th. I may play hooky from my SXSW Interactive obligations to check out APTBS.

    Anyone interested in doing a meetup during this thing? I've noticed via twitter that there are quite a handful of us going to be there...

    That would be fun and I don't live too far, but I'll likely be busy putting the finishing touches on my thesis.

    I feel like a weasel for self-promoting, but some friends of mine and I (all of us do electronic and/or rock music using repurposed and/or hacked early-generation home computers & game systems) are playing an off-SXSW show next Wednesday the 18th at an event called Datapop. Full info at http://www.datapopparty.com/ -- the lineup is

    Anamanaguchi
    IAYD
    Graffiti Monsters
    8BK-ok
    Nullsleep
    Bit Shifter
    Sievert

    I believe the show is free, and I'm told there are free drinks too. Sounds too good to be true though so don't quote me.

    @ Bit Shifter - I saw an ad for Datapop at Alamo. Cool sound.


    My Bloody is Valentine is coming to ATX next month - fyi
