Hippest SXSW parties move east
The Levis/Fader Fort, which is kind of a mini-SXSW, has moved from the Youthworks location right next to the Convention Center to a huge tent by the railroad tracks at E. Fifth St., across from Progress Coffee. There was a big line Tuesday for folks to pick up their wristbands. The new location has a lot more room, but it’s hard to beat the old one, which is not hosting music this year.
Meanwhile, the former Safeway at 1107 IH-35 (Next to CVS) will host both Thursday’s Playboy/ C3 party headlined by Jane’s Addiction and Saturday’s Perez Hilton party. Tuesday, the crew had finished putting up the stage and steel-and-glass backdrops, but the real decorating starts Wednesday.
Hilton’s second annual “One Night In Austin,” will feature an all-female lineup of Ladyhawke, Lady Sovereign, Solange Knowles, Yelle, Ida Maria, Little Boots, Margaret Cho and more.
