scottheisel Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I'm not going this year. bummer? did they decide to send someone else since you go every year. Sort of; we had budget cuts this year as well as an additional focus on SXSW Interactive (and we are sending people to that). I'm bummed, but I'll live.

controlthebleeding Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 every year sxsw gets even more boring (mainly because it's bands i've already seen or don't want to see).. well there is one show i'm gonna go see, hopefully i can get comped a badge this year as that might be the only way to get in. if so it's a musician i can scratch off my bucket list.

Scruffy...the janitor Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 03/06/2012 The past two years (since we started Third Man Records) we’ve tried to do something extraordinary for Austin TX’s South By Southwest festival. Year One we took over part of our favorite Austin restaurant, FRANK, and brought you Texas Sized vinyl (that’s 13” LPs and 8” 45s) and a one of a kind pop up shop. Year Two we introduced our Rolling Record Store with live performances from Jack White and Seasick Steve. This year we thought we’d try and do something we’ve never done before at SXSW. A showcase. Yes, we resisted it the first two years, but this year the temptation was just TOO strong. So without any further ado, it is our extreme pleasure to announce The Third Man Records Texas Show Down at The Stage in Austin, TX on March 16th. Featuring your favorite Third Man acts, friends of the label, and bands we just frankly really like that we’d love you to check out. Our friends over at Nasty Little Man and From The Basement helped us put this whole thing together, and for that we thank them. The Rolling Record store will also be in Austin again this year; dealing out records, exclusive goods and some brand new SXSW-only Rolling Record Store merchandise. Check the Rolling Record Store twitter account for locations as we move around the city throughout the festival. It’s first appearance will be Wed the 14th. Third Man Records at SXSW Texas Showdown The Stage on 6th Friday, March 16th First band on at 7:30 Featuring these Third Man recording artists: JACK WHITE KAREN ELSON JOHN REILLY & FRIENDS (FEATURING BECKY STARK & TOM BROSSEAU) THE BLACK BELLES PUJOL LANIE LANE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy...the janitor Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Also, if there is anyone out there who is able to grab me the Jack White SXSW exclusive, you will make me the happiest boy on earth. I will pay you for your troubles. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

controlthebleeding Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I am going down, but I need a place to stay. Anyone have a place I can crash? I will give you records and whiskey. i would, but i'm actually crashing at a friends place right now. the chances of getting a hotel/motel are gonna be expensive unless you get something out of the general vicinity. and by vicinity, i mean austin proper. buda or roundrock are decent as far as rooms go. anything in the city limits is gonna be overpriced or nowhere near downtown at this point.

cactusbot Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I don't plan on staying at a hotel for those very reasons. I don't have a ton of money. That's why I am hoping to find someone to crash with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkprtyrhd Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yeah the cost of hotels is really prohibitive, although I stayed in the Austin/Airport area designation, and they had a pretty good shuttle service running during the fest. But it wasn't convenient for say, raiding Flatstock and carting shit around. That said SXSW '10 was the best time I've ever had, and I love and miss Austin and can't wait until I can actually afford the time off work and the trip to do it again.

controlthebleeding Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 well. if you want to meet up. i can show you all the good spots. and it's about a 10 minute walk to where everything is. don't dare try to park anywhere east of congress. you'll be fucked trying to get out at any time after the day parties start. trust me. birdwell and i had to wait an hour in the parking lot just to leave and it was only 3pm. don't make the same mistake we did. alan, amber and I parked at a parking spot about 8 blocks west of congress around 4th and we were able to get out of downtown within minutes and away from every drunkard on the highway. just let me know.
