Hope to see him in a smaller venue than Stubb's

[justbcuzido]

I would assume it would be. I don't see him doing the same venue twice in a tour. Here's to hoping we can actually get into the show! If it's at a bar (afterhours), I will probably just go there at bar open and sit at the stage until he comes out.

Have you bought a badge/wristband?

what're the odds of not buying a pass and just catching random shows at different venues?

I think he may play a few times. I would guess 1 official showcase at something like the NPR showcase. Then maybe a day party or two. I don't think any will be that hard to get into with a badge or wristband. I wouldn't count on getting in by paying a cover at the door.

it all depends on the venue and who else is on the bill.
for quite a few of the showcases, from what I've heard, if you get there early you have a decent chance of getting in.

hopefully he plays a day party.
or maybe even the free sxsw show at Auditorium Shores (that everyone can get into).

2 years ago conor oberst played the free Auditorium Shores show.
last year M. Ward played it.
so it's not out of the realm of possibility that Jim plays it this year. (although since he's playing stubbs in may, he might not want to play such a big free show 2 months before).

one can hope though..

I could def see him being one f the Auditorium Shores shows. Day show would be awesome. I got a kiddo that would love to see him.

[hellaciousc]

most of the show schedules were released today.
Jim James still has two showcases that are TBA.

that most likely either means Stubbs, ACL Live, or Auditorium Shores.

33% chance of a free one!

[midwesterner]

I can't say too much but I just heard that Jim is probably playing a party at a legendary Texas musicians ranch. Nothing finalized but start working your local connections.

Willie!

I got it on very good word that Jim is indeed going to be playing the free Auditorium Shores show on Friday night.  Also on the bill, Divine fits, the new side project from britt daniel of spoon.  i care nothing about that band.  but Jim James at Aud shores will be awesome.

Don't know what time yet. 
either 8 or 9 probably.

SXSW is shaping up QUITE nicely

This is good news.

Looks like Friday at 7

[hellaciousc]

i really hope he plays at least a little later than 7.

i've got to see Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell at 6.
it'd be tough to get to Aud Shores in time.

SXSW should release the official times this week i think.

[Cameron]

SX posted the schedule then took it down. Said 7.

[hellaciousc]

shoot.
not the time slot i wanted him to have.

oh well.
i'll find a way.

thanks

[Cameron]

Jim, Divine Fits and The Flaming Lips Friday night.

[hellaciousc]

was just getting ready to post that.
have you seen official set times yet?

i just saw the SXSW press release, which didn't have times.

[midwesterner]

Gonna be a great time. Hope Jim sits in with The FLips for his track from Heady Fwends.

No. Lips are definitely headlining. My thought is Jim would go first since Divine Fits have a big Austin connection.

[justbcuzido]

Looks like Jim will be doing an interview at the convention center. Don't know how that works if you dont have a badge/wristband. This will be my first SXSW experience.
