Anyone know if there are any open slots for SXSW?

I know some folks that are wondering if anybody knows if there are any open slots for SXSW.

Doesn't work that way.  The applications had to be done end of November.  Bands will be announced in Feb I think.  If any bands drop out, one of the like 90% that weren't accepted and ended up on the 'waiting list' will play the slot.  We were on that waiting list last year and got in because of a dropout-that's how I know. 

There ARE a s&^tload of unofficial playing opportunities in Austin during that week though.  If they just came out here they would find somewhere to play.  Lots of bands do just that.

ah, I had no idea.  I was just asked to ask anyone I knew that might know something about it.

Thanks!

Funny enough, they just announced the full lineup today-a month before they were scheduled too...

where do you see the lineup?  I can't find it.

ah I found it.
