    Anyone going?

    Looking forward to seeing the new version of Crystal Castles. Bloc Party is attempting to revive their career it seems as well.

    Any new bands worth checking out? Rap acts?

    What big in the tech conference this year other than Obama?

    Obama is in town today. Apparently people are getting out of work and school early because of the traffic.

    But idk, this year haven't seen the hype. Not much in the rap game

    If Bloc Party promised to just play Silent Alarm all the way through I'd buy tickets just for that.

    haha that's how i feel about a lot of bands with albums i love and don't know much else of their music.

    which includes silent alarm. i know that album well but that's about it regarding bloc party.

    Here's a map of a great shortcut to get from N. Austin to S. Austin or vice versa...

    It still is...you just have to plan out things more than you used to. It's one of the things I miss about living there. I loved going in during the day and walking around to see the free shows all over downtown. Often managed free beer and food, too. I made sure to get the f*** out of there by 5 pm, though.

    That shortcut is pretty legit, should save me at least an hour on my normal commute.

    We have a booth at the game show - come by, identify yourself as a Clutchfan - ask for Wingman and I will give you a free steam key.

    We are showing Descent Underground on Oculus Rift and HTC Vive - 4 stations.

    I'll probably be there next weekend as an Uber driver. Last year drivers made $1500 in 3 days.

    You should probably go this weekend as well if you can. Rich tech bros like DD and Obama the first weekend during the tech and interactive conference. Next week is the music portion where mostly miscreants and drunkards show up.
