SXSW 2009: Saturday’s Schedule

SXSW 2009: Tuesday’s Schedule + St. Patty’s Day!
A big day for downtown, to be sure! As far as SXSW goes, not too big of a day though. BMI circulated an email this morning clarifying that even if you RSVPed, unless a BMI employee invited you or you’ve got a badge, you’re not getting in. So scratch Howdy Texas at Stubb’s off your…
