Yeah, I cannot wait to get to Austin for SXSW this year.. more good fun! I don't eat meat but my friends that do LOVE Salt Lick, Kruese's (sp) in Lockhart, and Louis Mueller's (as the person mentioned before)...

There's also a pretty good "what's going on" site that someone's put up on Ning. http://sxsw.ning.com

Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Salt Lick is well, legendary...and worth the drive. Now imagine 65 hungry rowers there, and calculate the animals eaten per person ratio. Fantastic.

I'm already lamenting all I will miss at SXSW this year - but I'm looking forward to my Twitter feed being deluged from Austin at that time.

SXSW vicariously via Twitter. Yet another party.

I usually make it down for the first weekend, but due to scheduling conflicts I can't make it. (And I'm just north of Dallas! Waaahhh!)

Might I suggest another downtown spot for you to try? Fado is an Irish restaurant on 4th St. (http://www.fadoirishpub.com...

They usually have live music on Fridays. The food is excellent, and they pull a mean pint of Guinness.

We noticed a lot of people setting up PBwikis to help manage the SXSW insanity, so we're trying to catalog them to bring folks together.

There are lots of good quick-hit BBQ-on-the-run places in Austin (County Line, Green Mesquite, even Rudy's), but for destination, sit-down, full-till-you-burst ribs and brisket, you cannot beat Salt Lick BBQ.

Perhaps we'll bump into each other at SXSW.

I joined Twitter last year at SXSW just to find out about the BBQ trip, but didn't get the update till the next morning....

In Austin it's easy to walk from party to party and each year there are more parties!

Salt Lick is incredibly good, but if you haven't tried Louie Mueller Barbeque in Taylor (20 miles west of Round Rock), you owe it to yourself to go there at least once.

Is it better than Salt Lick? Well, it's different, but I think it's equally good.

Don't even bother trying to beat Salt Lick. It's the best BBQ I've ever had in TX, and that includes San Antonio, Houston (rodeo BBQ cookoff included), and Austin (only been to Dallas once). Avoid Pappas BBQ even if you're familiar with their chains; it's decent, but they just don't have the It Factor that distinguishes great BBW.
