The first Fun Fun Fun Fest was in 2006, and the music-ish festival quickly became known as an only-in-Austin sort of festival that focuses on independent music and comedy in Waterloo Park.

Reminder: SXSW Spreadsheet
I’m so psyched so many of you are using the SXSW 2010 Free Party spreadsheet!

I’ve been remiss in not posting Halloween to-dos sooner, but Halloween, like other big holidays, just wears me out sometimes. I LOVE LOVE LOVE costumes, but I like themes. I like to get creative on a theme, not just have the whole wide world as possibilities–it’s just too much. Anyway, here are some Halloween haunts…

SXSW 2009 – Friday’s Schedule
The biggest two days of your partying life are here. Behold: the Friday of SXSW.
