Are you self-aware millennial scum who plans on attending SXSW this year? Do you crave social situations where it’s acceptable to drink before 10 a.m. on a Sunday while a DJ blasts music ranging from Notorious B.I.G. to Taylor Swift? Are you going to be in Austin on Sunday, March 12? Good, because we’re kicking off this year’s SXSW with the premiere brunch event of the century – Saved By The Brunch.
If you can make it, don’t forget to RSVP.
Brunch is the only sacred time where it’s socially acceptable to wear sunglasses and elastic waistbands while rubbing shoulders with the who’s who of Austin’s SXSW scene, and we’re here to make sure you have the best possible time doing it. As noted deal closer David Ruff says in the event’s invitation, “Come rub shoulders with major influencers and key players from throughout the digital media landscape. Build that LinkedIn network. Deal closers only.”
Yeah, the food and drinks will be free while they last, but when the sun is beating down at Rustic Tap (right in the heart of West 6th Street, the prime post-grad haven for partying), your wallet will be the least of your worries. We’re going to have everything from trashcan beer pong to cornhole (or “bags,” as some uncultured swines call it) from 10 o’clock in the morning until 1 p.m. Factor in the fact that there’s going to be a crawfish boil at the bar starting at 3 p.m. that day and you’ve got yourself a full-blown Sunday Funday.
Look, there’s even exposed brick at the venue that’ll be perfect for Instagrams and Snapchats alike.
Rumors are already swirling in regards to who may be attending and/or what events may be taking place. We’re not here to confirm or dispel those rumors, but here are just a few of them to get your motor running:
– Dave will be creating a new type of Irish Car Bomb called the Closer Cab where he drops shots of espresso into his beer only to chug the entire concoction.
– Dillon will be drinking microbrews because he’s a “craft beer guy,” but most of his time will be spent eating as much avocado toast as possible in an effort to put on mass.
– Noted contributor Kyle Bandujo will be handing out shirtless high-fives for $10 a pop.
Me, you ask? I’ll be wearing athleisure avoiding the large groups of women asking me to take photos of them for said Instagrams and Snapchats.
The event is first come/first serve, so show up early and enjoy the fruits of your labor (read: the fruits of waking up before 10 a.m. on a Sunday). Oh, and it’s 21+, so leave your kids and little siblings at home so you can really spread your wings and make the most of your morning.
See you there. .

1803 PEOPLE GOING TO SAVED BY THE BRUNCH PRESENTED BY PGP
So, can I bring my own beer from home and drink relatively “free” after the budget is burnt by 10:17am or … ?
elbow to elbow for sure
Will be there, will not be removing my shirt. Not a good idea to get every woman in a 3 mile radius instantly pregnant.
So that’s how Crash Jr. came into this world?
That’s exactly how.
The Closer Cab sounds electric

Need a live stream party pod after y’all are 5 mimosas deep
If there’s anything Dave and I like to do, it’s go to all-you-can-drink events on Sundays and live stream from them only to regret it on Monday morning.
Just an idea, you should totally make the regular commenters VIP if they wear a name tag with their username. Encourage that transparency.
Question:
What’s the average reader / commenter / fan of PGP like. When meeting them do you think, “We’ve got a good group of guys and gals stopping by each day.” Or is it “Man, we need to attract a better core audience. If these are the types of people coming to the site, what does that say about me, William Fritz deFries as a person?”
Thanks.
I’ve never met anyone in person who I wouldn’t grab a beer with. It’s rare to even get approached, but it’s only been at bars and on golf courses so obviously we’re doing something right.
Except the time you big leagued me on Rainey.
Only been approached a few times. Everyone’s been cool. Shouts to the dude at the golf course who asked will and I if we were touching base.
It’s the second Rico, come on man normal people don’t spend this much time online with strangers.
Can confirm I am the unofficial special guest people have been talking about.
I’m extremely disappointed that I’m missing this. I’d be one of the first in line to get a little drunk with a bunch of internet strangers. I think I will organize my own DC brunch/day drinking that day so I can feel like I’m apart of it.
I will be brunching in Phoenix and parlaying that into a Spring Training game to feel like a part of this, so if anyone wants to join hmu
Work from home, I am very interested in this proposition

Just found out that I’m heading to SxSW for work… Very excited to get hammered here and then wander to a local Austin golf course that afternoon. Any course recommendations?
What’s your spending limit? What kinda course you wanna play at?
My club is actually part of the Club Corp network, so I have privileges at The Hills of Lakeway, Lost Creek and River Place. I’m open to other, better places too – But ideally less than $100 per round…But your thoughts would be mucho appreciated.
You should just play drunk pitch n’ putt at Butler Park. Don’t over think it.
Second on drunk pitch n’ putt.
