SXSW Success!

I had a great time at my first-ever South by Southwest. It took a lot of energy and I lost a lot of sleep, but I saw quite a few great bands and really got a feel for what this town has to offer. Plus I only spend around $60 over the course of 4 nights!!!

Here's a list of who I saw:

Wednesday 3/16
AWOL Nation at Rusty Spurs
Flogging Molly at ACL Moody Theater
Queens of the Stone Age at La Zona Rosa
Duran Duran at Stubb's

Thursday 3/17
Skrillex at Cheer Up Charlie's (video below)
Moby at Cheer Up Charlie's
The Strokes at Auditorium Shores
Smoosh at Cedar Street Courtyard
The Bangles at Cedar Street Courtyard

Friday 3/18
City & Color at Stubb's
Airborne Toxic Event at Stubb's
Scala and The Kolacny Brothers at Stubb's
OMD at Stubb's

Sunday 3/20
Olin and the Moon at Cheer Up Charlie's

I have to say, while it's hard being away from friends/family, I'm feeling a lot more confident in my decision to move. There is so much to do here now that the weather is warm, it's hard to sit around and feel lonely. Yeehaw!

Hello Sunshine!

After an unusually cold winter (even here in TX), Spring has finally sprung!
