SXSW band list released!
Anybody coming to Austin next month for SXSW? If so let me know, and the first beer is on me!
Here's the list of the ~1300 or so bands that will be playing during the festival: http://www.austin360.com/music/conte...8sxswlist.html

Looks like their servers might be having trouble with the traffic, I can't get in.
Damnit. Were you offering beer during ACL also? I missed out!

Sure, it's pretty much a standing offer of beer and/or BBQ for folks coming to Austin.

I'll be in Dallas in a few weeks. They're both in Texas so it's gotta be pretty close to Austin. Show up there and I'll take you up on your offer.

LOL! This reminds me of when one of my cousins made a trip to Texas for the first time. She and her husband had a pretty aggressive schedule for visiting a bunch of places in Texas over a week. We asked her how they thought they could make it to all those places, and she said "They are all pretty close on the map." She grew up in Maryland, and didn't quite understand the differences in scale on the map.

I really didn't fully grasp just how big Texas was until a few months back, when there was talk on the Rutgers Rivals board about possibly playing in the Sun Bowl in El Paso. People were discussing the cost of flights and someone said it might be cheaper to fly into Dallas and then drive to El Paso.
The size of the state became clear when someone posted that it was the same distance between the two as it was between the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick and Myrtle Beach, SC. |

To put it in perspective, I read once that Texarkana on the Eastern border is closer to Chicago, IL than it is to El Paso on the western border...

I feel bad for the guy who had to type up that list. That would have driven me boardline insane.

Pfft...it's not that bad of a drive. Did it a couple of years ago for the UTEP-TT game. Left here at 3am and got to campus in time to start tailgating around 1pm. When are you going to be here in town, Logan?

Impressive!
I'll be in town from 3/24 to 3/28, working in Lincoln Plaza and staying down the road at the Springhill Suites (still trying to get into the Magnolia which I've heard is nicer). What's to do around there? |

BTW, depending on what time of day you make the drive, Dallas to Austin is going to be about 3 hours from downtown to downtown, probably just under that if you hit Austin at a non-peak time.

True. I flew into Dallas and drove to Austin for ACL last year. Not bad at all.

To put it even more in perspective, what would happen if Alaska was split in half? Texas would be the third largest state in the union. That deserves a damn if anything does.

I heard that Lubbock is the same distance from Brownsville as Tokyo is from London.
