SXSW: ILM Breakfast?

I've never been to Austin, I blow into town on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, I don't have a cell phone. But hey, what do you say ILM's Austinites and visitors have breakfast at some insanely late hour when the shows are done and compare notes? Know any all-night joints? Or early ones?

I do have email: [email protected]

this is an excellent idea; unfortunately, I'm not going to Austin.

It's not a bad idea at all. Kerbey Lane is open all night, as is Magnolia Cafe, and each has two locations. And -- for the brave -- Star Seeds Cafe, where the staff is rude and the music is loud, leaning toward nasty punk and Tom Waits, in equal measure.

Only problem is, I won't be there. I don't usually venture out to the shows -- parking is a purple shade of hell -- and anyway, there's the whole day job thing. And no offense, but since I live here, I feel no special need to go mingle with the tourists. Wait... that sounds way snootier than I meant it too. What I mean is, it'll take some kinda extraordinary show to lure me out to those crowds and those drink prices and that awful, awful parking situation.

Kenan, would I be well advised to just haul my bicycle down with me, park my car in some residential neighborhood, and just bike the whole week? This would also help with the drinking situation...

Where are you staying Pete? Not all of the venues are close together. Texas is a car state on the by and large.

I would suggest Magnolia on South Congress or Star Seeds for yr breakfast. Star Seeds has fantastic salsa and home fries. But both will be packed after bars close.
