SXSW IV Free (or nearly free) SHoWs 2007
Zugatel’s elves must carry the tradition of boycotting wristbands and weaselling our way into SXSW shows for free. He will be deeply entrenched in PhD comps (which will ultimately save the world) and will be rendered undisturbable, therefore the UC community is called to duty to carry on the rejecting wristbands. *Free* or nearly free SXSW shows (nearly free=<$5) must be posted, information must be updated constantly, free beers must be mentioned, rsvp list email addresses must be included. I will personally be doing live updates from SXSW using my special Blackberry Device. Let the list begin!
(simply add a comment to this post with your new or updated information (include date and venue) and we will generate a more organized list in the weeks to follow.

Joel you’re brilliant, I think I’ll put you in a Book People flyer. thanks for the info
they moved that Scoot Inn party on Friday to Freddie’s Place down in south Austin, click on the rsvp link for more info - what’s with the Scoot? this going to be the first sxsw with no free shows there?
also the first sxsw since the longbranch people bought [no-longer-red’s] scoot inn. coincidence?
I asked The Hot Puppies if they would be playing any SXSW free shows: We’re playing the Welsh Music Foundation New Welsh Music party on 16th March at Latitude 30. I presume that its free!Cheers Bec x
-
Perhaps a UC reader knows more about their freeness of the show than Bec herself?
Another free showcase hosted by my neighbors, The Awesome Cool Dudes/When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth. This was fun last year so I imagine that it will be good times again.

I got your Wales music info, 99. It’s on the list of SXSW parties on the official SXSW site. There are quite a few great free music+booze+food shindigs on there as well. I was worried you’ d need badges for these, but I’ve RSVP’d for quite a few and gotten quick, nice replies saying how they can’t wait to see my freeloading ass…
haha, nice, I’ll rsvp and show up with my empty wine glass.
