SXSW is Upon Us

Welp, it's Sunday March 11th, In two days I'll head to Austin for the five day non-stop party that is South By Southwest. It's the calm before the storm as they say, and I'm ready for it (Pray for Sun).

For all showcasing artists who may be reading this, please check your emails and respond to any and all emails you may have received from SXSW. You need to let them know who will be in your party as well as what equipment you will need/be bringing.

Also artists, if you do not show up for check in, and are late for your performance at all, you will not receive payment and/or your registration will be revoked. If you are late for any reason your performance will be cancelled on the spot and you will not be considered for SXSW in the future.

Hit the comment section below and leave me a roll call of who I can expect to see this week in Austin. Here's the final schedule of shit I had some sort of hand in as it stands.

Actually I didn't book the Public Enemy show or the Chamillionaire event or Lee Scratch Perry, but these are the three events I am the most excited for.
