Tues | 03.23.10
Back in The A at last. What a week it has been. Let me begin by saying that Austin is a beautiful city, and I have seen a lot of cities. Thank you, Austin. At moments, you reminded me a little of Boston in the springtime. You are both fun walkable cities, but oh Atlanta how I missed your familiar streets. It was around this time last week I arrived in Austin TX for SXSW. It was my first run. The experience exceeded my expectations and kicked my ass. I took notes, came up with some ideas for next year, and got to share some priceless moments with a lot of really good friends from right here at home that
I don’t get to see that often in the hustle of life. I got to see a few killer shows when I wasn’t working and a multitude more when I was. Oh, and I learned a lot! In the spirit of sharing: If you think you love music, you should go. Just be sure to book ahead. Location is key. Carry a mobile phone battery charger, earplugs, notebook and toothbrush at all times. Keep it simple: Have one job to do, not five. Take along really good friends and the most comfortable shoes you own that you never ever want to look at again when it’s all over. And if possible, bring an outfit suitable for each of the seasons, because in our case we experienced them all! One of my favorite signs read: “Hipsters, scenesters, skinny jeansters, we don’t need your stinking badges!” Well done, Austin. Well done.
