SXSW 2008 Side Parties And Day Parties

February 28, 2008

FILM AND INTERACTIVE PARTIES: FRI. SAT. SUN. MON. TUE.
MUSIC PARTIES: PRE-FEST WED. Day Night THU. Day Night FRI. Day Night SAT. Day Night

We at Austin360 understand that a good part of the fun of SXSW happens not at the festival itself, but at the myriad of splinter events where industry types mingle with musicians and badgeless masses and the free booze flows, well, freely. Consequently, we've once again compiled a list of SXSW day parties and side events. Our list, which already contains more than 200 listings, is comprised of both official and unofficial parties and culled from a variety of sources including official SXSW announcements, press releases from promoters and Web sightings. (Special thanks to Free YR Radio and the always amazing showlistaustin.com.)
We've marked parties that require badges or wristbands as such, and we've tried to include as much information as possible about who's playing and whether or not parties include free libations. (You know, the important stuff.) We'll be updating this list daily through the end of the fest. If you spot incorrect information, or if you'd like to add your own party, hit us up.

The URL to bookmark is austin360.com/sxswside.
Happy party hunting!
