ACL/SXSW Help Needed

[StrangerDanger]

I have to admit that Im a bit of a fanboy when it comes to Widespread Panic. They are my lifelong favorite band and they will be taping an ACL show as part of their 25th Anniversary Tour during SXSW on March 17th in Austin. You cant buy tickets to get in. You have to have to be Friend of ACL (which costs $5000 annually minimum) or have a SXSW Gold wristband or Music wristband which costs minimally $595. I dont have the cash for either (10 month old daughter). I know some people here probably get these things for nothing as part of their music connections and if any of those folks would like to part with one for that day so I can go to the taping it would be greatly appreciated. If you want something in return, I'm sure we can work something out.

Thanks in advance!

Buy Dave a cookie. Or 3 dozen. He'll get you in.

Holy smokes, you have to _pay_ to gig in Austin now? There's not enough money to pay _me_ to ever gig there again... That's one slick sales job!

Sorry, couldn't resist (I lived there for 20 years and gigged for many of those - my financial situation and mental health have never recovered )

Yeah SXSW is mostly a buncha trust fund babies sitting on stools with their vintage Martins singing bad coffee house music but I still wanna Panic.
