Here’s a list of 8 -9 unofficial shows, if you would like to include
them on the site.
Some of them are among the biggest shows this year, all, as I said,
unaffiliated with the official SxSW festival.
The listing in the link below are part of my Permit blog, informing
businesses and individuals of what they need to watch out for this
year, in terms of Permits, and in light of the venue closures of last
year.
You can link to each show from the blog, for show info, or reply to
me, and I’ll send them in an easy to Copy email for each show.
You are also welcome to include a link to the Austin City permits
Blog, if you’d like.
I’m going to be providing up-to-date information, this weekend, on the
current Temporary Permit situation, in an attempt to help prevent the
follies of last year, concerning venue closures.
