Starting March 12th, a vast number of music and tech insiders will in Austin for the annual South by Southwest festival, skyrocketing the city's Converse and iPhone per capita. Sadly, I won't be there, but everyone else will. Paula Disbrowe, a chef turned cowgirl turned Austin resident (more on her Feather Down Farm Days soon), had this tip for beating the crowds: "The Hotel San Jose is a bastion of cool in Austin. They're really involved in the arts scene so every year during SXSW they through a huge festival in their parking lot. We don't do the wristband thing at all—we just hang out at the hotel and listen to their amazing lineup of bands. There is fantastic food, too." Hear that, y'all?
