for the last 3 days and everything they say about SXSW is true. It is
100% insanity.
Stand in any one place and you can hear 7 bands at once. Get into a
club after a long line and barely move because the bodies outnumber
the square footage. Everyone is selling themselves or ruining their
livers. It is almost exactly as I'd picture a massive star trek
covention, but with a different kind of nerd. Beards and boots and
southern belles everywhere we look.
We get today and tomorrow to do whatever we want. Our responsibilities
are over after yesterday's two shows and today's cancelled radio
appearance. I imagine that we will consume much alcohol, get sun
stroke and hopefully catch a band or two. I'd like to find our buddies
in Timber Timbre or Wooden Sky but it's a real needle in a haystack
kind of vibe here.
Wish us luck for our big stupid drive home on Sunday!
