Hmmm...I can't get the link to work.

I fixed the link...

COOL! Now I wanna go...to bad I can't.

Ahhh, yes the blighted hordes of burnt out hipsters who suddenly sport crushed cowboy hats and demand that one bottle of Shiner they're going to nurse for the next three hours.

Everyone is a 'producer' or an 'A&R' guy and they shout about their exploits at the top of their lungs! I suggest visiting Austin in the spring when its nice and calm, to enjoy it properly. SxSW is waaaay overblown and us locals stay as far away from the morass as possible. Besides the music is better and just as plentiful. Go to Genny's lil' longhorn and you'll see what I mean.


(am I grumpy today??)

I've lived in or close to Austin for the last 7 years, and have yet to make it to SXSW. It's extremely crowded and the locals either go because they love the music or stay out of downtown area.

On the plus side, Austin has such great music playing everynight, so if your out and about, it's not hard to find a great gig or two. :)

Are you in Austin, also? And what do you mean by spring? Didn't get in the high 70's today. I believe our winter is just about over. ;)

I'm all over but yeah, I keep a house there, My family is many generations deep there. I mean spring, when you ride your MV Augusta down devil's backbone and through the hill country and its all lush and gorgeous, and you can lie on the hill at Bartons all day and scope hairy legs and boobies in the gentle sun... So, yeah, pretty soon. Seeya there!
