To the uninitiated, South by Southwest can appear exclusive, like only those OGs in the know can navigate it. Nothing could be further from the truth; the circus coming to town actually means local mainstay venues overflow with goodies especially yummy to Austinites old and new. Starting Wednesday, C-Boy’s runs indoor/outdoor stages, 10 acts a day, for five days of the best ATX offers – FREE, gratis. First day’s nuts too: the best country, soul, and blues, plus locally stirred Peruvian psych, while inside Will Johnson and Bonnie Whitmore headline. The entire event is insane: Angelo Moore, Tommy Stinson of the Replacements, Steve Wynn, Waco Bros. B-l-o-w-o-u-t.– Raoul Hernandez
