SXSW Party RSVPs

If you’ve never been to SXSW, let me give you a tip:  You need to get on the FREE party circuit. As anyone who’s been to SXSW knows, all of the beauty and chaos occurs during these events.

Whether it’s Internet Idol Gary Vaynerchuk pouring out free wine and hanging with Mashable’s Pete Cashmore (at Rain, nonetheless) to Kanye, Little Boots, Yelle, Rye Rye and Ladyhawk at the Perez Hilton Party, these events can be EPIC. Plus, who doesn’t like free booze?

Here’s the thing tho: They don’t just let any chump off the street into these free galas. You have to RSVP-and FAST, because once the RSVP closes, that’s it. No entry for you!

Not to worry, tho, we’ll be keeping this page updated with party info as it appears, so check in!

Oh yeah, and if you are feeling overwhelmed, don’t fret. We’ll be making our recommended party list before the event!

Got a party during SXSW? Send us the RSVP and we’ll share the love: tips[at]republicofaustin[dot]com

    When I RSVP’d to Do It To It 3 I got an e-mail response talking about the 2009 party. Any particular reason?

  2. February 8, 2010

    Hey Rain:

    My guess is that they haven’t updated the auto-reply yet. Keep a printout of the email with today’s date just in case.

    Is there any way to get an e-mail saying when the RSVPing will be going on for the major parties like Perez?

    • February 16, 2011

      Hi Rachel. I am but one man. The Filter Parties have been announced. I have a feeling that Fader Fort and Perez will be announced in the next couple of weeks…

  34. February 16, 2011

    How does one rsvp for the evening shows at the filter dickies party for lustre pearl. Every year they kick everyone out around 5pm and have a different list of rsvp. Anyone have any ideas?

    • February 16, 2011

      Hi Jerry. I’m not sure about that. For one of the FILTER parties, you have to buy the tickets for the night event.

  35. Greg Wilson permalink
    February 16, 2011

    Is there any way you could designate a new addition with an asterisk or color so I am not obcessively RSVPing to everything 100 times because I can’t remember if I hit them yet?

    • February 16, 2011

      Hi Greg. I do the same thing. So to keep from going over them again, I put the date they were added next to the title!
