Before the evening show, there's a free, all ages artist bazaar! From 5-8pm, artists will not only be selling CDs and tees, but also whatever creative items they could come up with for this flea-market style pre-party.

Highlights for the bazaar we've seen so far:

- The Young Evils: Hand-painted light switch covers
- Black Whales: Maps, Sci Fi Readers, drum lessons & a house party show
- Campfire OK: A kissing booth, caricature stand, scarves & baked treats
- Redwood Plan: Drawings of Leslie's cat, a new single only sold here & at SX
- Tea Cozies: Merit badges, beer cozies, pillowcases, Scrabble magnets
- Ravenna Woods: A lucky satchel with beard hair from each member (!)
- D.Black: 4-pack album discography & signed, framed poster package
- State of the Artist (SOTA): Pick a topic & they'll rap it, SOTA as your voicemail
- Fatal Lucciauno: Sport'n Life discography set

Come and support local bands performing to help get themselves to Austin, and sample music that will be showcased at the SxSeattle party!
