Huh...2 or 3 days off is "too much time off"? Nice sweeping generalization. I have considered riding the bus, but it still leaves the original question of where to park up in the air. Looking at bus routes is something I'll get around to this weekend.

Congratulations to Grape Ape, you fucking sell out. davetx, ride the bus. What irritates me about SXSW isn't the bands and industry people as much as it is the douchy tourists who clog up the streets, restaurants, and free parties when it's abundantly clear to me that they are overpaid parasites with too much time off. If we're going to have to put up with these wasteoids for two weeks, we should all automatically get 2 weeks off including the poor service industry people that really have to put up with their idiotic shenanigans.

Actually, free parking or paid parking, I have no preference - the catch is I want to be able to leave my car in one spot from noon until 2am. I don't get downtown on weekdays much, so I'm not even familiar with how close to capacity paid lots are. I appreciate the suggestions!

Dave, I presume you mean free parking? If so, and you don't mind walking, the Holly Street area has unmetered spots. But it's not such a secret anymore, and a lot of downtown workers take up those spots all day. Still, worth a try. That parking lot on town lake under I-35 is always free, too.

Good stuff. Here's a question for anyone out there...where's a good place to park downtown during daytime working hours on Wed-Fri? I'm not allergic to walking long distances either, so any suggestions are welcome.
