CLICK HERE FOR OUR SXSW 2012 FREE PARTY RSVP LIST
South By Southwest is, by far, my favorite week of the entire year. It simply embodies all the things I stand for: fantastic music, free drinks, great parties, and great people! Though I’ve gone badgeless for the past several years, I’ve still had quite the amazing time (perhaps even more so since I didn’t overpay on a $700 plastic necklace). This time around, I thought I would share the love by compiling a list of RSVPs to the free parties worth going to. Check back from time to time for updates, and you’ll be completely set for the 2011 festivities!
