NEW TO TOWN? JUST VISITING? WHERE THE QUEERS AT? Welcome to Austin! Don’t know where to go, you great big beautiful queer? Let The Austin Chronicle‘s Gay Place assist you. We will be all over the gay at South by Southwest (or as we like to call it, South by So Gay), and our people, they will be coming in colors. We know about Heather Gold, about the magnificent Ms. Cho, and have our ear to the ground about the Dresden Dolls’ Amanda Palmer. We’re looking forward to Lesbian Vampire Killers and Sissyboy and the “off-property” GayBiGayGay and so much more. Definitely check our blog for the latest updates. (You are certainly welcome to send us hints and tidbits, and we will duly pimp them.)

Have a great Fest, and in the meantime, here are some URLs to help you:
