BTTV BLOG

Today is the first official day that YOU can vote for BTTV on the SXSW panel picker. Wha? Well, during the 24/7 rage-a-thon that is SXSW they have cool panel discussions where people talk shop about the music industry.

SXSW decided to let you pick the topics this year and we submitted our idea for a panel.

Vote For: “Friendbases to Fanbases: Why you must tour now!”

Popular vote rules the day so if you have a spare 2 minutes, we’d love your vote!

BTTV member and street teamer hardrockslacker managed to get a BTTV flyer into the hands of UFC mauler Clay Guida. He sent in the pic and we think it’s awesome.

Weigh-in flex-photo for reference. Clearly Mr. Guida could kill a musk ox.

Join the BTTV Street Team, get a flyer into the paws of someone famous and end up on our blog!

As Lollapalooza sweats it out in Chicago this weekend, Fox News Chicago decided to kick things off with a little ditty about BTTV on the 9 o’clock news. Take a peak and watch a couple interviews with BTTV members from Chi-Town.
