Created by jordan on March 16, 2013

If you have yet to experience the hospitality of the #newAmerican Oasis on 6th street, today is the day to make it happen! American Airlines is offering escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Austin during SXSW.

Take a break and enjoy a free massage, while relaxing you can charge your devices in the complimentary charging stations. Once the devices are all juiced back up, take advantage of the free Wi-Fi to stay connected. Speaking of juice, refresh yourself with fresh juice from a local Austin juice bar while you print your latest #SXSW photos at an interactive photo booth.

The Oasis on 6th is a rare spot of #newAmerican hospitality right where it's needed most.

A quick note, if you're planning to catch the stream of SXSW Live at the North Door tonight, the broadcast starts at 9pm.

The fine folks over at SXSW Booking gave me a few more delicious treats for you to sample as you make your way out and about tonight. There's music in the air, you guys. I heard it at lunch. Five bands at once.

The Road Most Traveled: Chuck Ragan & Friends

Created by sam on March 15, 2013

The Road Most Traveled
by Chuck Ragan

As any musician knows, life on the road can be difficult. To some it's months spent away from family and friends, days of crappy food and nights in bland hotels; and the awful feeling of being uprooted and adrift both literally and figuratively. To others it can be a time of senseless inhibition, a kind of adult summer camp that bears the same emotional highs and lows: falling in love with a new place and new people, and then suddenly being stripped away from them.

Luckily, others have gone before you and can impart some warning of the snares and share in some of the nostalgia of the road's best moments.

Join Austin Lucas, Chris Shiflett, Chuck Ragan, Frank Turner, Matthew Pryor for "The Road Most Traveled: Chuck Ragan & Friends" Saturday, March 16 at 2pm in the Austin Convention Center Room 16AB where they will discuss how life as a touring artist will never be easy, but there will always be someone who has already been there to learn from. Based on Chuck Ragan's The Road Most Traveled, hear first hand experience about the struggles of day to day life on tour and what it takes to hold on to the original passions that bring an artist to the road to begin with.
