Getting close to the end of SXSW. It’s been quite the ride so far.

On Wednesday night was the big C3 Management showcase at Stubb’s, where I saw Band of Horses, Jack’s Mannequin, and Yoke Lore

the members of Secret Guest, who are touring with Band of Horses outside of SXSW, are homies from Charleston who crashed at my place. We had a great day walking around Austin catching live music at different venues in town

Thursday i took it easy and just went to the Being Dead show at Radio East. They ruled, local band, super weird and cool. Also saw some of Wand’s set.

Yesterday was the BMI Brunch at the South Congress Hotel. I hung out with my friend Gab from BMI, Hunter Park of She Returns from War, and photographer Zachary Salas. There was free food and alcohol and a bunch of cool artists.

We hopped around a little on South Congress and then walked all the way to Antone’s for Jackie Venson’s set, a local austin blues artist.

Back down to South Congress for the Athens in Austin showcase. Went home, finally, after the Susto String Band set.

Good time overall. Now I am tired sitting in my room, considering going to “The Big One” at Radio East but also considering just not going and taking it easy. I’ve walked an average of 5 miles per day for this whole week. Starting on Thursday of last week. We’ll see what happens, the show goes late.
