I recently moved to Austin and don't know much about sxsw, only what I've learned for the web site and a friend who's attended the interactive part before. He thinks it is possible to just show up and pay a cover charge. Can anyone verify this? I 'd love to see Two Loons for Tea. Their page says they will be at the Sarathan party but I don't see that listed anywhere on sxsw.com. Is this an unofficial party? Does one need an invite? I'd also like to see Beth Orton although it's a bit late for me (11pm). Has anyone else noticed that there will be a Veda Hille music video but it looks like you would have to register for the film session to see it. Thanks for any info.
