@ZackTeibloom Every week is free week for Festival Crashers, but now all y’all Austinites get to play. And you don’t have to fake-stamp your hand, attempt the backdoor slider, construct a badge or try the scoot-in. Free week’s been going strong in Austin for a few nights now, but lucky for you it’s still going. Festival Crashers huddled around a heat lamp for The Boxing Lesson and were so entranced by The Quiet Company that we edged closer and closer to get the full experience. It was a strong enough show for us to anoint The Quiet Company our “favorite band in Austin” tag. Check out all the shows coming up this week and find your new favorite. And when this week’s over I’ll show you how to crash again. It can be like this every week if you want it.

Wow. I have been in Austin for 11 years now and this is the first time that I heard of free week. It sounds like it was a blast. Do you just go and show up at the venues or do you still need some kind of pass?
