SXSW Party Announcment: Sx Fusion II slated for March 13 on Town Lake

Some of you may recall I hosted an event with Mike Dominguez during South by Southwest (SXSW) Festival last year. This year, with my schedule busier than ever, I vowed to attend and cover the event and not try to plan a party during a week of countless parties. We had an offer we could not refuse from a venue location that is perfect for SXSW.

Joe's Crab Shack Town Lake has offered full support of the event which will feature warm appetizers from Joe's, musical guest, Chelsea Crowell (granddaughter of Johnny Cash), downtown views from the patio along Town Lake. Thankfully the venue is conveniently located 11/2 blocks East of S. Congress Ave in walking distance to downtown. We are excited about the event and invite you to join us.
