Adult Swim, the insanely popular Cartoon Network spin-off, aimed at the older 18-24 year old (usually male) demographic has taken a foothold across college campuses. During my time as an RA, I found that it was probably the most watched "channel" for my residents--sadly ahead of the news.
With more mature content and cartoons not necessarily appropriate for children, it comes on at 11 p.m. and runs through the wee hours of the night.
They're now taking their show on the road straight to the college campuses, so the experience can be enjoyed all day. Throughout the month of April, they'll be making 9 stops on their "[Adult Swim] Block Party" tour. A whirlwind tour, it'll start in Athens, GA and end back again in Richmond, VA. On April 11th, Austin will be the second leg of the trip, and it looks to provide some great free entertainment.
As of (the morning of) March 31st the facebook group had over 1,200 members. According to the page, everything will be free, and alcohol will be provided for those 21 and up. It also has the tagline "Games. Prizes. Free T-Shirts. Surprises. Possible Clown." which certainly conjures up a (not at all creepy) carnival image.
Other than the location outside Emo's and the musical performance from Fiery Furnaces, the company isn't divulging many details about the event, but I'm sure it'll be great fun...but then again, my interest was piqued at "free."
