If you have never been to SXSW before here is some info that you need to know.
First, wear comfy shoes. Dont wear heels, you will look like an amateur and you will quickly regret it since you will be on your feet ALOT! I have had 2 foot surgeries, trust me-wear comfy shoes....
**Feel free to comment on this....
There are a few things that you always want to have with you while out and about: a bottle opener (the kind that goes on a key chain), aspirin, 2 pairs of earplugs (in case you lose one or give one pair to a friend who forgot theirs), pen (a disposable one in case you lose it), notebook (the paper ones), lots of business cards (you will go thru ALOT of these), & cell phone. **And if you are a chick, you may want your lipstick (I dont leave home without it).
A great tip to remember is, if you EVER need a taxi-go to the nearest hotel and you can get one there. Also, the hotels will have the cleanest public bathrooms too. No porta-pottys for you! And if you are really watching your money, The Embassy Suites Hotel has a FREE Happy Hour everyday (yeah, free drinks and munchies). But that is not usually an issue during SXSW coz there usually is alot of free drinks and food at parties.
If you are traveling from out of town, you may also want to pack:
Your laptop & adapter, One extra battery that clips on, Surge protector,
3-prong adapter from Radio Shack, and a camera.
Also, I cant stress this enough. If you are staying in a hotel, please bring your own pillow!! I know, you are thinking I am crazy...but am I? WHY? This is easy to prove, just take the pillow case off of a hotel pillow-you will FREAK out! Hotels do not clean the pillows they ONLY change the pillow case on them. Just pack one (even a small square one or a travel sized one) and you will thank me later for that. I am always amazed that people use hotel pillows-ewwww....
But SXSW is fun--so have a good time. You can sleep when its over!
The SXSW Motto: Sleep is for WIMPS!

Rumor has it that Brooklyn Vegan is doing a 2-stage day party at Radio Room on 3/19 with 12 bands. Two of them will be The Avett Brothers and Daniel Johnston!!

If anyone has info on this, email me please at: divagirl@myself.com

The Village Voice parties of previous years have always been pretty good...and the schwag aint bad eigther. But considering everyones cutting back, you should just be lucky to go to a party-ha..
Here is the info from the website about this:
Every year, the event-planning honchos at Village Voice Media throw a Friday afternoon shindig during South by Southwest. Once again this year, it'll be completely, unequivocally free and held at La Zona Rosa, a spacious 4th-Street venue that knuckleheads think it's creative to call La Coka Nostra. Last year, the VVM party starred such fine rollicking luminaries as the Black Keys, Trail of Dead, and Health--this year, we are here to announce that M. Ward, Cursive, Gomez, and Bear Hands will be your musical hosts. It all takes place on Friday, March 20 from noon to 5pm, with set times to be announced. Get excited, dudes: Hold Time is an amazing hangover helper.

Alternative Press Party
Another day-time party...I do not know if you need a wristband or badge for this one. And there is not a way to RSVP to this party. But so what!!
Even if you dont have the credentials, do it the Diva-Way.....just act like you are supposed to be there and walk right in. Usually its just volunteers working and they do not know if you are really supposed to be there or not-so hold your head high and walk right in and have some fun. And if you see me, save me a place in the beer line OK? Thanks in advance....
The Alternative Press party (hosted by the Alternative Press magazine) is usually one of the most popular daytime events at SXSW, and few British bands are ever asked to participate!
The event takes place Thursday 19th March at The Terrace between 4 - 7PM • 412 D. Congress Ave. (it’s the rooftop of popular venue The Speakeasy)

Gallery Preview: Wednesday, March 18th 2009 from 7-11pm.Opening Reception: Thursday, March 19th 2009, from 7-11pm, open to the public.Film Premiere: For dates and times check www.shootinggallerysf.comGallery Hours: Thursday though Sunday, from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.Humble Pictures, along with The Shooting Gallery and The Alternative Café, is proud to present their film, “New Brow: The Rise of Underground Art”, to Austin, TX, March 20th and 21st, 2009 from 8-10pm at 602 West Seventh St. Suite A, Austin Texas. Despite being turned away by the acceptance committee for SXSW, The Shooting Gallery remains committed to premiering “New Brow” to their Texas audience. To highlight the significance of the film’s place in history, internationally renowned art dealer, Justin Giarla, has put together a comprehensive body of work from artists interviewed in the film. The exhibit will run for a week, as a tribute to those who’ve made contributions to the Low Brow art movement. A progressive line up of works will be included, by emerging and largely significant Low Brow and Pop Surrealist artists. 602 West Seventh St. Suite A will be busy night and day through out the week of March 15th, with a private press preview, opening reception, and film screening. Juxtapoz Magazine, the art publication holding the largest circulation in the US, will be sponsoring all events. With their sponsorship, the event comes full circle, as they have brought these underground artists to the attention of the general public. They’ve provided a voice for the Do-It-Yourself culture that only continues to take things to the next level. These parties will include, DJ’s, adult beverages, and killer time to be had by all.The film, “New Brow”, exposes first hand accounts from artists, galleries, and collectors who initiated and maintained the New American Art Movement. Documenting the personal studios and makeshift gallery spaces where the movement began, it reveals the raw nature required for a new genre to be created. The film brings to attention influences often unrecognized or underrated, such as underground comix, Kustum Kulture, graffiti, tattoo, skate and surf, punk art and others amidst Californian sub-cultures. Among the movement’s history, “New Brow” puts things in perspective, to its major contributor and inspiration, Robert Williams.Artists included in the exhibit are the following: Eric Joyner, Charles Krafft, Shawn Barber, Travis Louie, Anthony Ausgang, Ron English, Mike Giant, Isabel Samaras, Camille Rose Garcia, Van Arno, Shepard Fairey, Liz McGrath, Henry Lewis, Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, Glenn Barr, Kill Pixie, Niagara, Sas & Colin, Erik Foss, Yumiko Kayukawa, Natalia Fabia, Paul Chatem, Sylvia Ji, Helen Garber, Joshua Petker, Mike Maxwell, Greg Gossel, Francesco LoCastroLocation:602 West 7th #A,Austin TX 78701(415) 931.8035

Despite being turned away by the acceptance committee for SXSW, The Shooting Gallery remains committed to premiering “New Brow” to their Texas audience. To highlight the significance of the film’s place in history, internationally renowned art dealer, Justin Giarla, has put together a comprehensive body of work from artists interviewed in the film. The exhibit will run for a week, as a tribute to those who’ve made contributions to the Low Brow art movement. A progressive line up of works will be included, by emerging and largely significant Low Brow and Pop Surrealist artists. 602 West Seventh St. Suite A will be busy night and day through out the week of March 15th, with a private press preview, opening reception, and film screening. Juxtapoz Magazine, the art publication holding the largest circulation in the US, will be sponsoring all events. With their sponsorship, the event comes full circle, as they have brought these underground artists to the attention of the general public. They’ve provided a voice for the Do-It-Yourself culture that only continues to take things to the next level. These parties will include, DJ’s, adult beverages, and killer time to be had by all.The film, “New Brow”, exposes first hand accounts from artists, galleries, and collectors who initiated and maintained the New American Art Movement. Documenting the personal studios and makeshift gallery spaces where the movement began, it reveals the raw nature required for a new genre to be created. The film brings to attention influences often unrecognized or underrated, such as underground comix, Kustum Kulture, graffiti, tattoo, skate and surf, punk art and others amidst Californian sub-cultures. Among the movement’s history, “New Brow” puts things in perspective, to its major contributor and inspiration, Robert Williams.Artists included in the exhibit are the following: Eric Joyner, Charles Krafft, Shawn Barber, Travis Louie, Anthony Ausgang, Ron English, Mike Giant, Isabel Samaras, Camille Rose Garcia, Van Arno, Shepard Fairey, Liz McGrath, Henry Lewis, Tim Biskup, Gary Baseman, Glenn Barr, Kill Pixie, Niagara, Sas & Colin, Erik Foss, Yumiko Kayukawa, Natalia Fabia, Paul Chatem, Sylvia Ji, Helen Garber, Joshua Petker, Mike Maxwell, Greg Gossel, Francesco LoCastroLocation:602 West 7th #A,Austin TX 78701(415) 931.8035
