Title: Anyone going to / playing SXSW?
Post by: ALoveSupreme on 09 Mar 2011, 13:58
I'm heading down with Joie de Vivre. We'll just be there for the day we play (Wed. the 16th). 
Anyone else gonna be there?  If you are in a band that is playing, maybe I will be able to check it out!

Man I wish I was going like damn.

On another note, Withered Hand (http://www.saidthegramophone.com/archives/withered_hand_-_good_news.php), this awesome artist from around these parts got denied his visa to the US so he can't go. Which I find absolutely ridiculous. (there's a petition, i'm not sure what it'll achieve, but since it is such a silly situation, go ahead and sign it (http://www.thepetitionsite.com/2/get-withered-hand-to-sxsw/) if you feel like it)

Ah yes, a friend that lived in Scotland for a few years (the ones that introduced me to Jamie/Japanese War Effort) talk about Withered Hand.  I will definitely be signing that!

And, yeah, the Plush place is 21+ but I guess they worked something out where if you are 18+ you can pay $2 (?) to get in.

Yeah, I have very little of an idea regarding what's actually happening, but from what I've heard, that is pretty much OK and-or encouraged.
