This is a guest post by Wooderson from the film Dazed and Confused.

Alright, alright, alright spring break for the Internet, otherwise known as SXSW, is coming in March right here in my beautiful hometown of Austin, Texas.

Number one on everyones mind is showing up at the best parties.

Not to worry, theres a new fiesta in the making. The first in a series of epic Copyblogger parties will take place this year at South by Southwest Interactive.

This time its not at the moon tower. Its at Beauty Bar on Saturday night, March 12, between 9 pm and 2 am. Thats on 7th Street, right around the corner from Emos.

Now, this is a high class event, being indoors and whatnot but you wont need a secret social media cool kid handshake to get in. Not at all everyone is gonna be there, you ought to go.

And listen, you ought to ditch the two geeks youre working on your website with now and get in with us. But thats alright, well worry about that later. I will see you there. All right?

Copyblogger Presents an Indelicate Diversion

Heres whats come together so far.

Around 9:30, the DJ will start playing Girl Talks newest album All Day. For the next 1 hour and 11 minutes, well have a joyous open bar, which means free drinks, enough said.

Youll be talking about how you dont remember these 71 minutes for the rest of the year. Just watch the leather, man.

If youre not familiar with Girl Talk, you might want to use our friend Google to research and/or download All Day for free here, but if bad words in rap songs mixed with old school rock and pop make you squirm, maybe you should skip it and come to Houston with me to get Aerosmith tickets.

Whats the catch for free drinks? The password, man.

The Password is

During that one hour and 11 minute open bar, youll need a password to get in.

To get that password, go to this Facebook event page and click Im Attending. Dont worry, its low maintenance and you wont have to do anything that prevents you from l-i-v-i-n.

Any Special Tips?

Yep. The doors open at 9:00.

Follow Copyblogger on Twitter for updates.

Thats about it.

If you cant make it, its cool.

Itd be a lot cooler if you did.

Poetry puzzles

Who is Ozymandias? Why is Coleridge's Lime-Tree Bower his prison? And what is the proper spelling of The Waste Land? The solving of a poem's puzzles is one poetry's greatest pleasures In the late 1990s the indefatigable John Sutherland produced a series of entertaining books about puzzles in fiction (Why is Frankenstein's monster yellow? Where does Fanny Hill keep her contraceptives? Who gets what in Heathcliff's will?). The books were initially linked to reissues of novels in the Oxford World's Classics series, and I was struck at the time how beautifully these little inquisitions of Sutherland's, often on apparently absurd or marginal issues in the text, got readers reading again, with attention and interest. What Sutherland was doing, in effect, was smuggling serious literary criticism into an apparently superficial form of writing. Perhaps, in a sense, he was even re-inventing literary criticism. In this era of academic theorising and the downsizing of m...

CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed by Frdric Chaubin review

These images of Soviet architecture from the Brezhnev era are simply out of this world Soviet brutalism is not something traditionally thought of as beautiful, but Frdric Chaubin's stunning photographs, published under the facetious title CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed , should go some way to changing this. Fascinated by the massive scale of Brezhnev-era architecture, the French photographer has toured the former Soviet Union since 2003, in search of dramatic examples of these sculptural buildings. The 1970s-1990s was a strong period for Soviet architecture, especially in the peripheral republics, where outlandish designs were an expression of the striving for independence, an early inkling of the break-up of the USSR. Architects at this time picked up where they left off following the suppression of the avant-garde by Stalin in the early 1930s, and were able to capitalise on advances made in engineering in the interim period, producing buildings with enormous in...
