Do you have a wristband or badge?

This'll be the first time in ages I don't plan to go to SXSW..... I'm seeing my "little brothers" on Saturday night (Snow Patrol) and not only is the show sold out, I've been checking prices of hotels for a fellow Patroller and it's .

The Patrol brigade disdain Lily as a bad ripoff of The Streets, but my brother likes her and he's got no clue about who her dad is.

Platinum pass, I'm pleased to say. I'd rather see The Streets, too, although I bet that would be packed since he's better known.

I don't see Snow Patrol on the SXSW band list ... are they playing a private gig?

They're playing this Sat the 10th which is not yet the official start of Music. It's a road show like any other.

I forgot to get tickets and the prices are outrageous. If I can't get them I'll be forced to go down and beg to be guestlisted. I can't bear the thought of arse kissing Neil the Pompous Tour Manager.

I'm still waiting for VJS to get back to me. But there is a disgustingly tacky "British" pub (Maddogs) right next to my hotel on the Riverwalk. That might be a good place to start. Unless anyone has a better idea.

I think I know the place you're talking about, there's a couple of 'English Style' pubs there on the riverwalk right? Either way sounds good to me!

Hello
Where in SA do you live ????
There is a really nice pub called the Firkin and Bull on Blanco Road we should all meet up there one night.

Eeek. You must have been away a long time if you think the Firkin is a nice pub! As I recall, it's a full-on US sports bar with an Olde Englishe pub sign stuck on the front, and they don't even serve English beer.

I might be thinking of somewhere else, though.

A good drinking spot in San Antone is the Thirsty Turtle, just off the Harry Wurzbach exit on 410.
