I remember joking about making a LOCAL badge in 2008. Finally someone really did it—good work, kids, good work. Click here to print the thing out, find out what the QR code says, and more. Three more Local-y things this week for SXSW: 1. Local Band Achachay! Plays a Billion Venues Thurs March 15th: Northeast by…

See, with all the buzz, I don’t even need to put the letters in the right order and you know what I’m talking about. Obviously you’ve seen my ridiculously large and always growing FREE PARTY SPREADSHEET. But because the criteria are so strict to get on that puppy (free party, must offer free food and/or…
Busy Sunday! 12th & Lamar Block Party + The Grind
Live Local Love Local Shop Local from 1 to 4 pm. Snag free food, beverages, and a card that will get you a discount all summer at participating shops, boutiques and restaurants in this little nugget of Austin retail. Awesome!

Alright, alright, more ACL coverage
Just because I like free parties and magazine parties, I’m posting on ACL again. Letting you guys in on some secrets: The Paste magazine party tonight at Stubb’s should be ridiculous. I tried to sneak into Paste’s party during SXSW, to no avail. But RSVP here and you won’t have to, plus you’ll see What…
ACL … I can’t handle it
I just can’t handle ACL. I went all out last year–open to close, all three days, media tent, afterparties and aftershows–and I think I just burned myself right out. Instead, I will be walking myself to tailgating and the UT game. Trying to drive or cab anywhere south of Enfield this weekend is going to…
Red River Beach Party
This is the most ridiculous/awesome/Austin-y thing I’ve heard of in awhile. Only in Austin would two clubs get together, rent slip-n-slides, inflatable pools, and moonwalks to create a beach party, in late September, on Red River, the street. Loooooove it, love Austin. And there are good bands playing too, for a mere $5! Here for…
