I just wanted to give a heads up to a deserving Memphis Artist for you who are going to SXSW: Valerie June will be playing at STEPHAN F'S Bar Wed, March 14, 12:00am – 12:40am <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/whSl2tHokfo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I might be there Thursday. Don't know any of the bands, but that's the day I've chosen to go during the day and I can't turn away from free beer...
I really should go to SXSW some time. Though I'd really be interested in the film events. Looks like it would be really expensive.
Wow, of montreal also playing Thursday night at the Polyvinyl Party at Emo's Lounge. great chance to see all the AWESOME new songs off the new album live. maybe they'll skip exorcismic breeding knife. I just don't get that one.
If you guys go to the American Express Channel on YouTube, Jay Z is performing live now. I'm hoping Kanye will come out soon.
Are you guys strict on RSVP for Tuesday's shows? I wanted to see Oberhofer at 8pm, but then I realized that RSVP's were closed for this event already.
It gets a hell of a lot less expensive if: A: You have friends in town who enjoy your company. Accommodations, otherwise, are very difficult to find and usually quite expensive. B: You DON'T BUY A WRISTBAND. There are shows all over town - everywhere from swanky lobbies to folks' backyards - that don't cost a thing, and that often have free food/beer.
Last year me and my girl camped in a tent in some hippies backyard in SOuth Austin for $15 a night. It was awesome but it seems they lost the property so I can't make it this year.
was that the enchanted forest off oltorf & lamar? this is the first time in about 6 years where im not hosting a band for at least a night.
friend of mine saw billy corgan and alex jones at guerros last night - it was just the two of them at a table and they were engaged in deep conversation the whole time...my friend wanted to go over and say hi, but he said it was like they were on a dude-date and he didnt want to interrupt their bro-down.:grin:
Anyone been hitting up the Belmont this week? If so how are the crowds, and staff. Are they lax on pot smoking? Also how do you think entry will be on Friday for the Def Jam showcase featuring Nas?
