Tonight Austin360 unveiled their newest SXSW guide to day parties and side events separate from the main conference offerings. If you’re smart enough to avoid the impossible-to-get-into downtown venues and you decided to skip the badge/wristband this year (as you probably did last year and the year before that), SXSW day parties and media mixers are where it’s at.
I present to you the Austin360.com Guide to SXSW 2007 Side Parties.
Using this tool you are able to view, at a glance, all of the various events going on in conjunction or auxiliary to SXSW. Select a date range and search for Film, Interactive, or Music events that are FREE and open to the public, and with or without free drinks & food. Or, narrow down your selections by venue or artist to be able to quickly see who’s playing where & when.
Most of these events are culled from this list. Other events come from sites such as showlistaustin.com, donewaiting.com and austinist.com who tirelessly aggregate all the party info and keep their loyal readers informed. Myself included.
You do have a wristband or Music badge? Then use this search tool to scope out all the official SXSW acts and venues. And don’t forget Austinist’s own Interactive Guide to SXSW.
With all of these tools at your disposal, there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to rock SXSW!

mrcynical,
The look is brand new except that Google Maps looks just like every other Google Maps.
It’s a way of making this extensive list interactive.
You’ll see I gave kudos to the BestIST website in town for their guide back on February 22nd and in the post above.
So, use Austin360′s, Austinist’s or whoever’s… but get yourself a free beer.
