I’m in Austin, TX this very minute for the 21st Annual South by Southwest Interactive, Film and Music Festival.

You can find me at the Metroblogging Meetup: Sunday, March 9th at 5 p.m. at Rio Rita.

Otherwise, follow me on Twitter and surprise me at a panel or party over the course of the conference

On the music side, Reveille Magazine and Eclectone Records are hosting the first annual “Bastards of Young” Minneapolis Music Day Party on Saturday, March 15th at The Molotov Lounge with Hojas Rojas, Romantica, The Alarmists, Big Ditch Road, Cloud Cult, Kid Dakota and Doomtree.

50 Records is hosting a party Friday, March 14th from 1-6 pm at Club Fuze with White Light Riot, Elevation, Melismatics, The Dollyrots and The Effects.

What other local bands are making the trek next week?

    Let's be clear: White Light Riot, The Alarmists, The Melismatics, et al are not playing SXSW. Instead they are partaking in a pay-to-play spinoff festival also in Austin called Red Gorilla put on by the shady Brian Waymire. He charges bands for representation, which really only finances his own pursuits. Coincidentally, one of the festival's "sponsors" is his own company, Dreamscapers. He has no influence in the industry. And he lies about past performers in order to add cred to his festival. Pretty lame. Bands, beware.
