South By Southwest is This Week - If You're Not In Austin, TX YOU ARE MISSING OUT!

(TO ALL MY POTNAS IN THE BLOGOSPHERE - ANY LINKAGE TO THIS POST WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!)

Hey y'all,

Here's the final updated list for the hip-hop events at SXSW this year. All this goes on in Austin, TX and all artists are CONFIRMED!

You can pay a small cover to get into any of the showcases. Or you can get in with an official SXSW Badge or Wristband. www.sxsw.com has info on that.

Don't forget I am DJing a Vice Magazine Party Thursday at Victory Grill. Free drinks and food. Go to www.vicekillstexas.com to RSVP. Come kick it all afternoon. I'm playing abunch of weird shit though, not just rap. Seriously RSVP now or you won't get in. I can't help you. But I do want to see my people there.

Please spread the word and try to catch a showcase or ten!

PEACE and SEE YOU THERE!
