Are you SXSW-ing?

Alas, I will not be going to SXSW this year. Instead, I decided to save up and head to Indio, CA to sweat at Coachella. But that doesn't mean I'm not sad about missing all the SXSW craziness. I get very sad knowing that another SXSW will come and go, and I will still not have gone.

So for those of you who are going to Austin, TX in a couple weeks to eat BBQ in people's backyards, drink margaritas and see some rock, here are a few parties and shows that you might wanna check out:
