SXSW 08

Sadly, I'm not attending the music festival to end all music festivals in Austin this year (featuring such highlights as R.E.M., The Kills, Peter Móren (of PBJ) and Bon Iver -- that's just on Wednesday), but I'll be living vicariously through friends who are going (or in Dan's case, already there).

That's right, Dan has already ventured out to Austin for the interactive portion of SXSW and is sticking around through the rest of the week. Check out his already extensive work (how that plane got outta of Cincinnati on Friday is a miracle to me!).

Rich will be joining him shortly, his plane takes off tomorrow. Check out his reports here, along with news from Bad Veins who are also already in Austin and will be playing at SXSW (also on Wednesday -- damn, Wednesday is hot this year). Should be some good stuff!

Throughout the week, I'll be hanging with you folks here in Ronsonville, grumbling and plotting my way into SXSW 2009...

Tell them to eat at Kerbey Lane Cafe and Chuy's!

I already clued them into Chuy's, but I think I forgot about Kerbey Lane Cafe! Oops!

Thanks for the link!

Our plane actually did not get out last Friday night. I ended staying the night in a hotel and leaving later the next day. Phew.

SXSW so far has been pretty incredible - and that's just the interactive. last night i got a my first taste of the full blow music festival... but there is more to come.

I saw that! After I gave you a shout, I actually started reading it and thought to myself "oops -- he DIDN'T make it out."

Glad it's going well! I saw the news about R.E.M., which is kind of a bummer, but at least you gave it a shot! The chances of seeing big-named acts are always iffy, so it's good that you were able to get around and see some other stuff...
