- The F Yeah Fest, along with Transmission Entertainment, presents the third annual Mess With Texas on Saturday the 21st at Waterloo Park. This is the ultimate spot for Saturday -- the last day of day show mania -- a shindig where you can fill in the blanks in your list of must-see-acts this SXSW by meandering around the park all day. The Black Lips, Akron/Family, King Khan & The Shrines, Vivian Girls, Circle Jerks, Cursive, The Thermals, Monotonix, Jason Lytle, Vetiver…the list is endless -- catch ‘em all between 11:30 a.m. and 9 p.m. This could easily be called a one day Fun Fest!
- AMODA (The Austin Museum of Digital Art) brings us its 45th Digital Showcase on Friday the 13th at The Mohawk. Lots going on here -- musicians can compete in “The Laptop Battle” (to win a free trip to the 2009 Laptop Battle Championship at AMODA’s SXSWi Digital Showcase), Learning Secrets spins the beats inside, ZEALE (who opened for Ice Cube last December) and Phranchyze emcee, plus plenty of animation and art displays to stimulate our visual senses. Admission is free for SXSWi badge holders, $5 for AMODA members, and $9 for the rest.
- The Do512 Compound (2208 S. Lamar Blvd, 78704) hosts Do512 and Sweet Leaf Tea’s The Big One 2009 on Saturday the 21st. Enter our SXSW-Week Giveaway to win two spots on the VIP Guestlist! Or you can RSVP on Do512's website for free general admission. Regardless, get there early to catch New York’s Alberta Cross who turned in a magnificent performance at Club de Ville last month. The line-up also includes Mike Relm, Blue Scholars, Common Market, BM LINK, and Dead Confederate.

Ward, Amanda Palmer, Superdrag, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears, Loney Dear, and Heartless Bastards are just a few of the many artists scheduled to perform on the two stages on Wednesday. Paste teams up with Brooklyn Vegan for Thursday’s show -- the line-up includes Passion Pit, The Avett Brothers, The Wrens, Daniel Johnston, and Bishop Allen. (RSVP here for both shows.)
