Callie me Bananas (for SXSW day parties)

Just so you know... Here's what I plan on doing during the days for SXSW.  I start on Thurs. cuz Weds I am working.

Thurs:

Noonish - Factory people.  DJ sets from Voxtrot, Soundteam etc... What really got me here was "complimentary cocktails and beer" and makeovers.  Factory People was recently called "more of a lifestyle destination than a boutique".  What the hell does that even mean?  If it sucks Birds Barbershop is also having a party that starts at 1:00 p.m. with free booze and breakfast tacos (genius!).

Noon - 6 - Habana Calle. Daniel Johnston, The Frames, Alpha Rev, Small Sins.  Kind of a massive, worthy line-up.  It's hosted by Sound Check, so I'm looking forward to meeting the new editor and seeing some friendly faces.

One to 5:30 - Bourbon Rocks.  A super solid line-up with The Walkmen, Great Lakes Society, and Okerville River.  For Quack Media and FOUND magazine (which I love).  Ya gotta RSVP.

Friday:

11 - 8 p.m. - Mohawk.  Hot Blogger Freaks party.  $3 is worth it to see Apostle of Hustle and Catfish Haven.

Noon - 10 p.m. - Freddie's.  Good God, the line-up is like I've died and gone to indie pop heaven.  Appollo Sunshine, Bryan Scarry, Oliver Future, Oppenheimer, Oneside.  And ummmm, free(ish) drinks. RSVP at Do512.com.

Noon - 10 p.m. - Belmont I think I'm on the RSVP list?  I don't know, you had to send a text to 33992 and join Wired's mobile network, which I don't know if I want to do.  The line-up is o.k. Tilly and the Wall, the Gray Kid, I Love You but I've Chosen Darkness....

Noon - 6 p.m. - Red 7.  Mess with Texas Party. I kinda wanna check this first because I know it's going to be the most crowded.  It's Free, free, free and Les Savy Fav, Erase Errata, Black Angels, the Gossip.  Plus all those hipster comedians.  And a scavenger hunt?  Sounds crazy fun.

UPDATED: 

2 - 7 p.m. - Emo's Annex - Woxy.com, my new favorite thing, hosting pretty decent partay.  Way things are going, I may burn myself out on pop music though... Still, I love me some Aquaduct and the beer is free.

Sat:

Hmmm.  In general, not a lot different from Friday's parties.  Seriously, most of these are like Day 2 parties.

So, the repition is intentional

11 a.m. - Yard Dog Art.  I can only hope that David and the Citizens are playing sometime early in the day.  Please, oh please, oh please...

Noon - 10 p.m. - Belmont I think I'm on the RSVP list?  I don't know, you had to send a text to 33992 and join Wired's mobile network, which I don't know if I want to do.  The line-up is o.k. Tilly and the Wall, the Gray Kid, I Love You but I've Chosen Darkness....

Noon - 6 p.m. - Red 7.  Mess with Texas Party. I kinda wanna check this first because I know it's going to be the most crowded.  It's Free, free, free and Apples in Stereo, Sloan, The Ponys.  Plus all those hipster comedians.  And a scavenger hunt?  Sounds crazy fun.

noon - 4 p.m. - Stubb's.  Rakim and Ghostface.  need I say more?

Sun:

I imagine I will be fast asleep all day.

Also, for anyone who reads this and is planning on hitting any of the day party scene, I believe I'm entitled to park at the downtown Hilton for $5 $8 a day, which then gets reimbursed to me.  So if anyone wants to carpool, let me know.

 UPDATE:  O.K. fine, Ian.  You and the evil trolls at Pitchfork may possibly woo me with the Pipettes.  Possibly...
