Fans who were in Austin on March 11 were able to attend the “Feed the Beat: SXSW 2013” for free through a RSVP process where a first of it's kind "rockumentary" was filmed using footage captured and shared by members of the audience. Additionally, Taco Bell’s new Cool Ranch Doritos® Locos Tacos were served FREE to fans who came by the Hype Hotel.
