Erm no, and a wristband to get into see the bands is dear. But you can walk around for free and hear a lot of the music without paying a dime. Some of the gigs sell admission on the door if they don't reckon the badge and wristband holders won't fill it up. My brother wants to see Lily Allen on the Saturday. :rolleyes:

However, believe it or not, SXSW is one of the "1,000 places to go before you die". It's .... amazing.

I have friends on the inside!!
I'm not sure how I feel about Lily Allen, I wonder if anyone would care if it wasn't for her dad?

HEB have them and they are really nice

Howdy Lolly, sorry I'm having a dumb moment, this creature growing inside me is sucking my brain cells dry, what or where is HEB, I know I'll get pelters for asking! In my defence I just got back from my MOPS meeting and listened to a woman talk about shoes for 2 hours :confused:

It is the supermarket chain here in SA, don't worry we have all lost brain cells after having children.

yep the 7 'villages' that make up the master planned community called the woodlands are located quite a few miles northwest of houston, about 30 miles i think. beware of the house prices, the cheaper houses are usually not in such a good safe area which pretty well is the same anywhere.

all the best lolly, try and persuade hubs to stay put...humidity/crime much greater here than san antonio.

Yeah Lolly, Houston sounds rubbish, you should stay here in SA...

:ohmy:

Extremely snobby Republican bastion.

Ain't mincing words about that place.

I had to threaten to sue a sheriff's deputy there for trying to enforce a law I knew didn't exist. His boss finally made him see sense but my memory's long.

... and HEB is the initials of its founder, one Howard E. Butt.

Dunno about the hotel rooms ... you might check Travelocity and see. All the downtown rooms will be taken, I should imagine.

I'm planning on going to see Lily Allen, just for the hell of it. If she's crap, I'll just leave and walk about ten feet and listen to someone else.
