Spider House is one of my favorite venues in Austin and I feel fortunate to get to have my party there again this year. Come early, get one of their fantastic bloody Marys', mimosas and/or some tacos. Ruby's BBQ is right next door and is incredible. Shake the night before off while you sit on the patio with a mellow early afternoon of beautiful music from Lily Taylor, Shimmering Stars, Habibi, Aaron Blount (Knife in the Water). Stay all day and see some of the best bands from all over the world that Austin has to offer you during SXSW week- on four stages within the Spider House. Almost a festival within the festival with 2 outdoor stages and 2 indoor; the beautiful 29th Street Ballroom, the large outdoor hatch shell, the garden/patio stage and the new indoor cafe stage. The venue has benches and seating, trees and is across the street from Adams Park if you need a siesta, to take a call or a meeting. Spider House is just 10 minutes from downtown; easily accessible by bus or taxi and decent parking if you are driving. In other words, it's the best!

Please note that the comedy show will be on the garden/patio stage from 9:30pm-12:30am.

And So... Friday, March 16th. No wristbands. No badges. No RSVPS. All Ages. 4 Stages. FREE.

Spider House + 29th Street Ballroom. 2906 Fruth St. Austin.

See you there!
