Some Early SXSW Planning

If you're headed to SXSW next month, you may want to think about checking out Free Yr Radio's great SXSW Planner. They're keeping a list of all of the official and un-official SXSW shows, and give you the ability to build and itinerary and even map out every show you want to go to. Pretty freakin' cool. (Thanks to Done Waiting for the heads up!)
