We all know that South By Southwest is just about to denotate all over Austin. Before it does, I am going to enjoy one last weekend of relative calm. And by “relative calm”, I mean starting out the weekend at Ghost Room for a local show for local people. The lineup is stacked and the price is right (go RSVP on Do512.com for $5 entry). Plus, whitesiren and TwoGroove will be buying you drinks until we run out of money. Doors are at 8, get there early and drink on my tab!
Here is a list of all of the winners at last night’s Roaries Awards Show at The Parish. Thank you to the nominees and everyone who came out. It went better than expected and we are excited to do it again next year! Stay tuned for pictures and more thoughts about the show.

No? Well check it out! This is courtesy of the killer crew over at Republic of Austin. We are announcing the winners tonight at The Parish during The Roaries Awards Show, where you will be able to see all the videos in their entirety. RSVPs close at 3pm. Just go over to the Facebook event and click “attending” for $3 entry.
Check it out, we have 2 new Roaries show posters for you. Mix, match, and collect them all! Be sure to come check out the Roaries Award Show tomorrow at The Parish!
From time to time, TwoGroove just happens to “acquire” some free tickets. We, of course, can’t tell you how this happens (it tends to involve them “falling off the back of a truck”), just that it does. When the aforementioned acquisition occurs, it is in our best interest to get those tickets out of our hands and into yours. It’s usually best if you don’t ask questions lest you expose the seedy underbelly of Austin’s ticket-trafficking racket. Just smile, enjoy the show, and go about your day.
Anyway, here is what’s goin’ down. We have a pair of tickets to each of the shows listed below. Both are tomorrow Feb 24th. Check out the shows (links below go to Do512), pick which one you want to go to and then scroll to the end of the post to find out how to claim the tickets. It’s that simple. Act fast though, free tickets tend to get snatched up quickly.
How to snatch the tickets:
1) Follow TwoGroove on Twitter and Facebook.
2) Tweet @TwoGroove, send a DM, post on our Facebook wall, or send a Facebook message. Be sure to mention which show you want tickets to.
3) Wait. We will round up all the messages at the end of the day (Feb 23) and inform the winners. We’ll also announce the winners via Twitter and Facebook.
