    Default Sxsw '13

    Anyone going to SXSW this year?!

    It will be my first time at the festival, I'm super excited - but kind of bummed over the fact that I don't recognize 99% of their music lineup.

    Also for anyone familiar with Austin SCs -- is Austin a good place to work during festivals like this or is the crowd mostly young and broke? (Like everyone I'm going with...)

    If any of the clubs have good $$$$ potential I may work a night or two.

    All of Athena's insight here still applies.

    Austin clubs already tends towards having more dancers than the customer base can comfortably support, and it gets even worse during festivals.

    I worked four shifts during SXSW 2012 and did well on two of them. One of those involved getting lucky and finding a good customer who made my night, but was entirely a local who didn't even give a shit about SXSW, and the other was a perfectly average Saturday. The other two nights were no better than usual weeknights, maybe even a little worse. I don't have my records handy from 2011, but I remember it being similar.

    If you really must work while you're here, I suggest the Yellow Rose or Palazio, mainly because they're the two best known clubs in town and have the most advertising. (That said, most of my SXSW working *was* at the Rose.)
