British Music Embassy

Based at Latitude 30, they are having events every day of SXSW music. The nice part about these parties is that they are advertising foodstuffs every day. RSVP here and then check your email cause there’s a second step.

IFC Crossroads (Decemberists) tickets tomorrow

Those you in Austin may want to wake up early tomorrow to get in line at Waterloo Records for free tickets to see the Decemberists and Gomez at the IFC Crossroads Party (Tues 3/17, Pangaea). Tickets start getting released at 10 AM but I would guess you would want to get there before that for you spot in line. Details here.

One Night in Austin

The Perez Hilton party. I hated it last year but the space is bigger this year so maybe I won’t be  in such a dense douche situation. Guess I’ll wait ’till the band list comes out to make a final decision. RSVP now, though. Go here.

Some stragglers

Kick Off the Jams [alternate RSVP] – Yes, I listed this already but this link will lead you to a form if you don’t want to just email them. Just click on RSVP

Hot Freaks – Think I forgot to mention this earlier. Solid lineup with the likes of the Hold Steady, Bishop Allen, and Vivian Girls (who are EVERYWHERE this year).  RSVP by registering at the site here.

T(ea) for Tennessee – The f**k is a biscuit bar? Free sweet tea vodka. I remember the Ettes being pretty good. RSVP here. There also appears to be a contest which will get awarded at this party. Sounds like a good deal for all you singer/songwriters reading this blog. So I guess maybe one of you will enter. Details here.

Creme de la Creme – Nighttime hip-hop with RaeKwon and the Cool Kids. RSVP here.

Vice Saves Texas – Late night fun with free Hornitos and Dos Equis. I don’t know what it means that you need the pass, too. Do you just print out the page? Anyone? Bueller? RSVP here.

March Mashup – Poseidonnn! I digress. Free beer. And you get to be on a boat! F**k land! RSVP to partymashup [at] hotmail [dot] com or check out the details on their MySpace page.
