Austin Texas: SXSW 2010

Heading out to SXSW next week and couldn’t be more excited.  Many big things happening within the family including HeavRoc Music’s very own Samuel to perform in the Neon Gold showcase and the Hypem Showcase on Thursday March 18th.  However for me I’ve been booking hotels and flights for many managers, indie/major labels, bands and artists for SXSW for a good 2 months now.  After booking some great hotels it was time to decide where I was going to be resting my bones this year.  Last year my number one pick was The Driskill which I think is by far Austin’s finest.  Kind of like the Waldorf Astoria or the Plaza to New York but not played out just yet, this place is truly where its at.  Located in the heart of downtown Austin, this hotel offers a product second to none.  Fantastic hospitality and the location couldn’t be better for bands or SXSW goers.  This hotel was a huge success for me last year.  I also booked several rooms at The Mansion on Judges Hill.  A little more on the boutique side and located on the Northern part of downtown but still in a great location for SXSW action.  This is my hotel of choice for 2010 and is where I will be staying.  I expect great things from this property and from my talks with the managers there thus far I am excited for a great stay.  So lets rip down south for some feel good times in Texas and look out for my affiliated showcases!
