SXSW ALL ACCESS EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE MANIA

We bet yesterday you thought "dang, it's like the whole TSN staff just up and went to Austin and didn't leave a goodbye note or talk about how their more-platinum-than-a-Slim-Thug-record all access press pass was gonna lead to ACES insider coverage of things like Jandek doing keg-stands in his dressing room." WELL, sorry 'bout our day job yesterday.

BUT - FEAR NOT. You, our readers, knew we were going to bring back more guns than Matty and Mossy with our completely unique perspective on the festival's goings-on; the whose, the hats and the wares. AND you were right - for the next few days, until at least Saturday, we'll be live-blogging the festival from the totally un-covered perspective of Houston. Not Houston as in the scene or the bands or the whatever man, like physically, we will be here in Houston until Saturday.

BUT - we know that you may want a more in-yr-face experience than the focal point of our so long a lense on the happenings could provide, so, in the meantime, we suggest you check out (former Houstonian and current Fatal Flying Guilloteen) Bryan McManus' blog about the Ausfest for the Philadelphia Weekly or coverage on chron.com (It's not clear if The Press is going to be using that pesky blogging technology that the kids seem to like from Austin, but we can rest assured that they apparently have SXSE coverage on LOCKDOWN).

PS: Don't forget to consult our list of who has pointed their vans east and helpful show infographic of what shows to check out if you're still in town. HACKEY!
