Start the National College Media Conference right with First Night on Oct. 29

The First Night adviser and student reception for the 2009 ACP/CMA National College Media Convention is being served up Austin-style!  Join College Media Network and College Broadcasters Inc. at one of the hippest clubs in town, The Mohawk, for Austin bands and Texas BBQ. Doors open at 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29, and the music starts at 5:30 at this exclusive event for all registered attendees, 18 and older,  of the National College Media Convention.  (Don’t forget your convention ID! You will NOT be allowed in without it!)

At “The Cabin,” the indoor bar, you’ll find the adviser reception, with Texas-style BBQ and sides.  Did we mention ice cold beer and well-poured drinks?  The music starts at 5:30 with The Lost and Nameless Orchestra, followed by The Blue Hit, and The Fireants.

Out on “The Range,” the outdoor stage, students (and advisers?!) will find some of Austin’s finest alternative bands.  The festivities start at 5:30 with Soundfield, Yellow Fever will follow,  and the party will be topped off by The Black and White Years, winners of five 2009 Austin Music Awards, including Austin Song of the Year, Best New Band and Best Band (Rock).

Catch a pedicab or take a short walk to The Mohawk, a mere 6 blocks north of the Hilton.  Pedicabs courtesy of Capital Pedicab.  (Don’t forget to tip your rider!) It’s a classic Austin night to introduce you to the Capitol of Texas and the 2009 ACP/CMA CBI National College Media Convention.  Don’t miss it!
