thinking about
- a good place for migas (now that Las Manitas is gone)
- Heard good things about Magnolia Cafe for Migas. Also, see this thread on SXSW Insiders which mentions mexican style breakfast places. --Eran.
- Heard good things about El Sol Y La Luna (6th & Red River) for migas also. However they are a music venue thru Saturday. Sunday they return to normal service.
- Geeks Love Climbing
- blowing off all generic (not topic-specific) parties, especially those sponsored by Big Cos. Watch for twitters about massive lines.
- microformats admins meetup
- http://austinblowout.com/
bands
Bands I (or you) want to see. Put/add your name next to recommendations.
do want
Music from
others SXSW pages
And some that may not be updated for 2009 yet:
needs serious improvement
next time
- migas from El Sol Y La Luna (6th & Red River), but before music starts on Wednesday because they stop serving their normal menu and turn into a venue.
- breakfast tacos from Austin Java, about a half block west of Downtown Jo's on 2nd st.
