ATTENTION FELLOW MUSIC LOVERS & FREE-DRINK ENTHUSIASTS: PLEASE, PUT YOUR PARTY PANTS ON AND BUCKLE YOUR SAFTEY BELTS.
SXSW is almost upon us, friends. This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for… our official list of Sweet Leaf sponsored SXSW parties & events! We’re talking free awesomeness all week long. Enough free live music for you AND your mother. See below for all the pertinent info regarding dates/times, lineups, RSVP lists, etc. Pay attention to what you have to RSVP to in order to gain entrance — RSVP soon (i.e. NOW) to ensure your chances of entry. Keep in mind there will probably be lines at most of these, so arriving early is always key.
I’ve created a Google calendar that chronicles all of the events and parties that are described below. To check it out, steer your browsers here: Google Calendar

OTHER SWEET LEAF FUN: There are a few other events we’re involved with (RollingStone.com interview lounge, Gibson Guitar Showroom, LP33.tv interview lounge, etc) but will not be open to the general public. We will also have teams roving the streets with our new Vespas with sidecars, refreshing the masses. A few other tricks up our sleeves as well that I won’t disclose for element of surprise’s sake. Keep your eyes peeled — we’re going to be EVERYWHERE!
Let's crash the party.
Rock on, kids. Rock. On.
Tell yo’ friends!
