Dallas Festival Hints at SXSW 2007 Bookings?

The Ellum: Onstage venue in Dallas, TX is holding a massive festival March 10-13, the days leading up to SXSW.

Now, there’s no garuntee that the bands playing this festival are going to be at SXSW, but I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of these bands aren’t just going to be making Dallas their only Texas stop during that week.
