Hi Rob,

There's a great pre-festival gig being hosted by Dart International at Friends Bar on 6th Street on Tuesday 17th.

Me and my band are on stage at midnight. Hope you can make it.

The Press Releases aren't out yet, but "The Belmont" is going to be the place to be for all your, no wristband, no cover, open to the public shows. I've seen the list of bands. I don't want to start a frenzy, but The Belmont is going to host the most talked about events of SXSW 09. All you Insiders - - Keep Eye out on this place.

Here's a list of all the day parties @ SXSW, which is updated regularly. RSVP details and, crucially, whether there's free beer ;-)

Tomorrow morning I leave to go to South by Southwest, one of the biggest festival/conferences in the tech scene (and the music and film scenes). I’ve never been before, so I’m pretty excited. There’s one main reason that I’m going, but that’s just my official excuse — I’ve wanted to go to SxSW since I first heard of it, about 3 years ago. Last year I even promised myself that I’d go this year, but then I thought I was going to be in Chile, so didn’t get tickets. Then things changed, this year rolled around, and a matter of days before it starts, I found myself with adequate motivation and reason to go, so I bought tickets. Weight Lifting for Beginners
