Tonight from 6-8:30 enjoy some special treatment (I'm talking mini-manicures and mimosas) on 2nd Street!

Friday from 6-9 head to Tickle downtown for their 1 Year Anniversary! Expect free drinks, finger foods, and a lot of pampering.

The SXSW round-up: CoolInAustin (free), Gabriel Does, and RSVPster (small fee for an incredible service) will keep you nice and toasted in the weeks to come :).

I'm finding most of the good parties on SXShhh... and this is an epic list of free food events that require no badge.

How would you like to easily win $5,000 cash during SXSW? Citysearch is offering it up in their QR hunt! This is going to be lots of fun, and easy money (did I mention they're also giving away $300 gift cards?).

Sunday the 11th ***if you have a badge*** RSVP via Eventbrite for free drinks! I don't have a badge and I RSVP'ed +1 so I guess two of you can have that, but if 20 people go in there claiming to be me? Don't tell them I blogged it.
