SXSW week - as usual, I will NOT be listing official SXSW showcases. You will find them here, eventually. I will also not be listing day shows that require badges - SXSW has them listed here.
I will try to find out as much as possible about other shows going on, daytime or otherwise. If you know of any, please let me know -
showlistaustin@yahoo.com.
Most of the day shows are free - just because I don't mark one as free
doesn't mean it's not, it just means I don't know one way or the other.
A lot of my info comes from donewaiting.com. Please visit them as well!
Advertise! $20 will get you a 150x150px ad for the week of SXSW that will be seen by several thousand people a day!
