Hi Patrick and Warren: As I wrote earlier, you don’t need to RSVP for these parties. Just show up. Show up early to avoid a line and you should get in fine. Show up 10 minutes before of Montreal goes on and it’s unlikely you’ll get in. But either way, there’s no RSVPs for any of these parties.

To everyone who’s trying to RSVP, as I’ve said a couple of times before (and as it says twice in the post), there are no RSVPs required for these parties. Our SXSW parties are always free and open to anyone. Just show up. As it says in the post, no RSVPs or SXSW badges are required. If you have tried to RSVP then it counts for nothing. Thanks!

What is capacity for this place?
March 7th 2012
7:43pm
seriously…21+??
March 7th 2012
8:08pm
Sorry Joe, it’s true, 21+.
March 7th 2012
8:30pm
Maggpie: The capacity is only around 300 - 350. Nice and intimate for those who make it in.
Joe: We wish we could make it all-ages or at least 18+, but the venue won’t let us. Something to do with Texas liquor laws I think.
To everyone else who’s tried to RSVP lately, please note that we aren’t accepting RSVPs for this event. It’s free and open to everyone, just show up. Get there early if you want to get in. Doors open just before 12 noon each day and you can line up before that.
