Super Bowl Sunday is a day to mourn this year. Because, really... who wants to see the Giants and Patriots in the big game anyway? Many of us have teams that have fallen to the wayside in the quest for the Lombardi trophy.

Let's play a pickup game of football on Super Bowl Sunday. Wear your gear, jerseys, sweats, shirts from your NFL team...

Mark your calendars Who: You and your friends (even your weird one) What: casual social happy hour, get offline and sip a beer with old and new friends Where: Nuvola (formerly Canvas- same owner, redid the whole place, it is SWANK) Cost: no cost to attend or come in, BYOW (bring your own wallet) for drinks as drink tickets provided generously by...

When everyone is gone and god's not looking, we need to pick up some sweet stereo equipment and maybe some new furniture for the mansion we're going to squat in.

RSVP here and I (@JacquelinesLife) will bring you a cupcake, Plancast sticker and give you a hug sometime between the 25th and 29th.

To help me with logistics, please make a comment about where you normally spend your days (ex: N, S, E, W Austin). You must be within the Austin area at some point between the 25-29 (sorry Round Rockers and Cedar...

Don't miss this opportunity to network one last time or bid your final farewell at the party to end all parties — the Interactive Closing Party. Media Temple invites you to go out with a big bang.

The party everyone will still be talking about when SXSW 2011 is all said and done.

Whether or not you're from the Silicon Prairie, join the region’s up-and-coming entrepreneurs and innovators on Lanai’s beautiful rooftop lounge with drinks, DJ Bone Head, and of course, a few surprises!

RSVP: In order to receive an open bar wristband on...

Meebo hosts the only evening event that brings Interactive and Film attendees together to mix and mingle, enjoying the vibe that only happens when industries converge. Appetizers, open bar and mellow DJ beats make for an event not to be missed!

The legendary Opening Party lives on in a top secret new location. Come see what new tricks frog design has up its sleeve at the biggest, baddest opening bash ever.

Note: an RSVP at Plancast will not get you in the door. You must RSVP at EventBrite. Don't forget to RSVP for the Refresh Austin party across the street as well. Update #2 Woot! The WordPress Foundation has joined us as a co-host for the party. Update #1 I just spoke with Tony Cecala of the DFW WordPress Meetup, and they will be joining us...

Let's start SXSW right with a yearly tradition - predrinks at the Driskill hotel bar.

Every year at SXSW we start off the weekend with a couple relaxing drinks in the historic Driskill hotel bar. If you've never been there's no time like the present to get in on this tradition. Stay as long as you want, there are no rules. Its just...

Five days of presentations, networking events, and more showcasing the best new emerging technology, digital works, video games, and innovative ideas.

This is our traditional opening (non-sanctioned) SXSW event. Shake off the jet lag on the sun-baked porch with mexican martinis & tasty treats.

*This is not a free food/drink affair.

**Wow! We're right at 250 people counted-in to loosen up before lining up for registration. I wonder if there's a company or two out there that might...

SXSW Interactive badges are available starting at 11am on Thursday, March 10th. You’ll have the badge but official events don’t start until the next day so... now what?

Why not stop by for a quick beer, game, snack or just say hi at one of the many downtown tech companies from 4pm to 10pm?

You’ll be in good company, because 150...

HEY-O! It's #BASHH time and you know what that means! Grab your fancy jeans or top hat and get your ass downtown!

There are no motivational speakers, just pure laid back social time. Get to know the people that live inside your computer a little better- they're real and they like beer too, so let's go get our drink on!

We are coming into the home stretch of what obviously has been a disappointing season thus far. Doesn't mean we stop loving the Horns and bleeding burnt orange.

This week kick off is 7pm, so we are going to run the tailgate from 11am-6pm. We have a small chili cook-off going on between us and a few other tailgates, so there should be...

You cannot lose if you do not play.

We all loved The Wire. It continues to live on in legendary status. And now, I own all 5 seasons. So it seems appropriate to do a watch party. Probably more than one, but we'll start at one for now.

So bring some food and drink to share (I'm a bachelor, I don't keep a lot in my house). I'll...

After celebrating "fake" Halloween on Saturday downtown, come do the real thing right on REAL HALLOWEEN at Ego's! We're partying ALL DAY LONG!

Come by starting at 3pm for our last-Sunday of every month Grill-and-Chill. Food is FREE with the purchase of a drink, and our drink prices are so good it's SCARY. Dressing up as...

I could start out with stating the obvious right here, but I’m not. As a Horns fan I’m going to pull my boots up by the straps, don my burnt orange, get there early, be loud and stay late. This is probably the last evening game before Thanksgiving, so we are looking to make this the biggest and best tailgate of the year. We will be serving...
