Unpaid endorsement:
Are you like me? Do you get the itch to drop the lid and go buzz around in the hills with The Black Dog slobbering in the passenger seat, the wind blowing both of your ears back and both of you wearing goofy grins, grooving on Bob Wills, the Stones, and Dwight Yoakum?
Are you like me? Does this itch come on the SAME FREAKING WEEK every year, when the redbuds are blooming and the sun is warm, the breezes are sexy, and those who suffer from allergies are sniffling and sneezing hell and gone all over the place?
Are you like me? Too stupid to write it on next year's calendar that YES this will happen again and you should reserve lodging in January? Instead of waiting two or three days before you need to go? Since you always want to go the same week as SXSW??? Even though you have less than no interest in going to SXSW? But THAT IS WHERE THEY KEEP THE HILLS????
Be like me. Be BRILLIANT and resourceful. Think. Hmmmm. SXSW. Arts, creative, talented, young freaks (meant in only the best way) descending en mass upon my state capital for a week's worth of bacchanaling. Hmmm. College students. They always need money. And most of them need money to spend at ....SXSW! AND most of them will either be on Spring Break or volunteering/working/partying at SXSW!! Sleep where THEY live!
Here's the unpaid endorsement part (I know, you've been waiting. And wondering.) Craigslist! Woohoo!! I have achieved the impossible. I have nabbed an entire garage apartment for $55 a night (linens included, even) during the busiest week in Austin (except when we're inaugurating another idiot as governor, which we do like clockwork). In the heart of Austin. And not on a nasty freeway. Just around the corner from the Omlettry! Can you say...breakfast?? And there's even a nice big yard where The Black Dog can chase Austin squirrels after he climbs out of bed in the morning. SWEET.

Well you should be in Austin this week. Pop some popcorn and just go park on the corner of Guadalupe and 5th street. Live Action Zombie Movie!
