List of SXSW Lists.

So I got bored?

I felt like perhaps I knew a bit too much about the fun happenings in Austin so now I'm tired of texting close friends, and will gladly share!

Tonight! SAGRA - All you can eat Mussels, flown in fresh this morning for $12. You can check http://twitter.com/SagraAustin for further reference. Another funny happening on this fine Tuesday: Tribeza giving out some free appetizers and cocktails in the reception room of the sexy, new W building from 5:30-7:30.

Friday, after work, head over to Caste Hill Fitness, they will be doing free wine and snacks for a fabulous trunk show in the next door space, something called "Ladies of the Castle." It's in my hood, so I'll be down. That's all I've got for now, bon chance!
