One week down and a weekend left. If you’re a self-described nerd or a shameful hipster, chances are you wish you were in Austin right now.  Thousands of these archetypical consumers from all over the world have gathered in Texas’ capital to experience new technology, movies and music. The festival officially kicked off last weekend but the parties are now in full swing as we head into the weekend. And by full swing, I was referring to people having fun… not the kid with a tri-mohawk who swung a skateboard at the face of a guy who tried to snap a picture of his stupid hair. See what you’ve been missing down in Texas after the jump!

South by South West kicks off in Austin, Texas today! The huge music festival attracts the sexiest fans around. From the barely clothed to the barely sober, they’re all here to jam out to great music. Here’s a small sampling of some of the hotties you’re going to see.

If you hadn’t noticed, we here at COED had a F’ing awesome time at 2009′s South by Southwest (SXSW) festival. But can you blame us? We got to hang out with Hannah Hilton and Meggan Mallone, saw a once-in-a-lifetime Jane’s Addiction show at the Playboy party, caught Kanye West’s secret show at Fader Fort and saw tons of beautiful music babes. But we’ve saved the best for last…

From hanging with porn stars to Jane’s Addiction rockin’ show at the Playboy party to Kanye West secret Levi’s Fader Fort show, 2009′s SXSW was a marathon of awesomeness. And though the festivities are over, it wouldn’t be COED-complete without highlighting one of our favorite features of the festival – the lovely ladies of SXSW!

The coolest spot at this year’s SXSW is definitely the Levi’s/FADER Fort. And tomorrow night, it’s going to get a lot better: We just received confirmation from a very in-the-know, anonymous source that Kanye West is confirmed to play the Fader Fort Saturday night at 8:45pm, putting to rest what has to be the biggest rumor of SXSW 2009.
