SXSW is here, with interactive and film trade shows, as well as panels, movies and parties, parties, parties. Every Bar B Q caterer in Austin must have their grills stoked 24 hours a day just to cover all the buffets and banquets.

club kingsnake is definitely in the house, giving away thousands of free t-shirts over the course of the event. Clint Gilders, Christie Keith, and I passed out shirts and business cards all weekend, with a little extra assistance from my sister Susan Barringer, seen here modeling our latest in fashionable outerwear for the spring club season.

As the trade show ended, we all headed out to hit the party circuit, with Clint and I first trying out the brisket and potato salad at the ASCAP film party at Maggie Mae's before heading off to find some bands. We ended up at Robert Rodriguez's film party at Antone's, where we caught Patricia Vonne performing, followed by Del Castillo with an exceptional performance, followed by Robert's own band Chingon. Afterwards we swam back to the car in a driving rainstorm. Watch for a review and pics of this gig by Clint tomorrow.
