Hump day dilemna...

It is the middle of the work week, but even on a Wednesday there are so many options of cool thing to do in the A-T-X!!!

First off, check out the Nomad bar!  Definitely one of my favorite neighborhood bars...even though I'm not really in the neighborhood!?  Tonight Becca and the gang are doing the "Nice Astronaut" thang at 8pm...

Fastball will headline the free Solar Powered Concert at Republic Park with the Black & White Years!! Did I mention it was free!!!???

Giant Noise is doing a cool event at 7pm at the Kirk Gallery for the US launch of the Mexican Design collective Pirwi!  Check out www.kirkgallery.com fo mo info.

The Austin Film Festival will have a special screening of the Coen brothers "Blood Simple" which was shot in Austin 25 years ago!!  Check out the Bob Bullock Museum... the Texas Spirit Theater at 7:30pm for that!

If you are like me and you came to the A-T-X from El Chucs (aka El Paso, TX) then you might wanna stop by El Sol y La Luna for the El Paso Social--early at 6:30pm!  I already know you El Paso types will show up at 8 then, so I will tell you it's at 5pm!!?  j/k...

Beyond that, this Wednesday night has lotsa cool bands playing around town, like Atash at Red Fez; Ramblin' Jack Elliott at the Cactus Cafe; Jon Dee Graham and James McMurtry at the Continental Club; Clues at the new Independent at 501 Studios; Shelley King at Artz Rib House; Austin Collins at the Mean Eyed Cat; Pepper Lane at the Mohawk; Beth Black at the One2One Bar; This Year's Fashion at Red7;  Monte Montgomery at the Saxon Pub; Tish Hinojosa is at Waterloo Records at 5pm...and from LA... you gotta go see The Aggrolites are at Emos!

"You know how I know your gay... 'cuz you like Coldplay!"  so you are probably headed to San Antonio to go see them at the ATT Center...Drive safe!!

SXSW party list...

Every year there is a cool 20-30 page list of all the parties going on during the SXSW week.  I've seen bits and pieces, but if you have a good list growing, share the wealth.  I will also make sure to spread the love and post as much info as possible.  With so much going on, it is good to have a game plan in mind before you head out your door!  I always like to catch cool buzz bands at the day time parties, so I can free up my night schedule to see even more bands!!!  I am a veteran of over 15 festivals, so I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve that I will continue to tell you about...
Keep it tuned!!!
