The shows are starting to come out of the woodwork. Continue reading →

For years, our site has always experienced a huge surge in traffic in the month leading up to SXSW. This year we’ve added a few different options to advertise on the site on the next month and I wanted to walk you through them. Apologies in advance for the shameless call for dollars.

First off, we’ve added a 728×90 banner ad on the top as an option along with our standard right rail Blogads. You can purchase the 728×90 banner here, buy a right rail Blogad there. We’re also offering a limited coupon: save 25% on these two units by using the coupon code TEXAS.

For people with limited resources, we’ve just added the Box-O-Rama ad placements. You can put a 125×125 ad (they can animate I think too) at only $2 a day. Click here for Box-O-Rama ad.

Promote your band, show, or product to tons of people thirsty for SXSW knowledge. And it helps keep the site going while you’re at it.

Gorilla vs Bear has posted details of their unofficial + official SXSW showcase.

Chris says:

The first half of the party (all the bands in red) will be unofficial, so it’s free / no RSVP or wristband required. The second half (the evening showcase) is official, and you’ll need a wristband or you’ll need to pay cover at the door if there’s room.

I guess I’m officially old since I don’t recognize any of these bands. Continue reading →

My main man Taylor and crew have launched the full calendar on SCHED*. If you are going to SXSW, this is a necessary tool. Not only can you plan what official events you are going to, SCHED also lists the unofficial events that happen throughout the tech, film, and music portions of SXSW.
