We have some grand plans for South By Southwest 2008. Last year we organized a showcase as well as a day party at Okay Mountain Gallery that featured local bands and businesses, including some phenomenal performances and equally delicious chocolate. Well, we’ve upgraded this year! The day party was so successful that in addition to a showcase, we’re holding a two-day party at Okay Mountain Gallery this year. A few of our favorite sponsors will be returning for the day party, as well as some new favorites.
A few of our artists will also be playing in some other non-AK venues:
Castanets will be playing at Todd P’s all-ages patio BBQ party at Ms Beas on Thursday March 13, 1pm. Shara Worden of My Brightest Diamond will be at the Paste-Stereogum Lounge at Volume (612 6th Street) on Thursday March 13 from 12-12:40pm. And Cryptacize will play at SC Distribution’s day party at End of an Ear (2209 S. 1st) on Friday March 14 at 1pm.
