Social Events

As your social chair, I care about your level of daytime and nighttime inebriation.  Attached you will find the “free show list” for SXSW.  Following are a lot of RSVP links and email addresses for many of those free shows and other shows.  Also check out www.do512.com as a good place for a day-by-day breakdown of where to go.  I have signed up for all of them.  Hell if I remember what I just did.  Basically, spend thirty minutes, do this, and always have something to do this week and weekend. 

RSVPing does not guarantee admittance but does allow you to be admitted.  Vice always promises a good time, but sometimes the railings at their parties break, everybody falls on everybody else, and the police come and shut it down.  Ha!  Nothing like getting crushed by humanity to give you those proper “party scars”.

Here you go.  Just RSVP and show up. You give them marketing info and they give you free food and beer.

 PURE VOLUME PARTY (THIS IS A MUST SIGNUP) – do this if you do not do anything else.  Dependable free alcohol and video games and music.

A link to more at MYOPENBAR.com  (Basically lists a whole bunch of free parties and shit) – I like this site – sarcastic ratings of parties, day-by-day breakdown and lets you know if there is free beer.
