NOTE: This is the 2007 SXSW day party list. The 2008 list is located at austin360.com/sxswside.

FILM AND INTERACTIVE - All parties

MUSIC - WED: Day | Night THU: Day | Night FRI: Day | Night SAT: Day | Night

It used to be the mantra of the first morning at South by Southwest: "Where are all the cool parties?" Everybody would hit town knowing of one or two soirees where the free booze flowed and the gratis chow was spread out on tables, but they'd have to ask around to get a more complete picture.

Nowadays, the party scene is revealed more than a month before the first Shiner Bock is cracked — and then overrated — by an out-of-towner. Internet sites such as showlistaustin.com, donewaiting.com and austinist.com collect party info and spread the news, giving readers weeks to get in good with the party hosts, to get that all-important invite.

Here are some of the things we've culled from those sites and brooklynvegan.com. Many are free and open to the public:
