chris, thank u for the sticker. it looks great on my water bottle!
glad u enjoyed Austin.
some people who live here talk about the music scene got worse after Covid. that might be true but your experiences during SXSW show that there is still plenty of live music magic to be found in Austin. especially during SXSW
Thanks everybody! I slept most of the day yesterday after traveling back east to Jacksonville. I also have notes from Saturday, but 7 days of walking miles around Austin started to catch up with me later in the week.
Working on the review this week. Still traveling, but will be adding some of those bands / artists I mentioned up there to our Spotify playlist.
SXSW overall was a really epic time and eye-opening experience for me. I’m excited for the next chapter.
Chris, I’m glad you had such a great time in Austin. The city will welcome you and Extra Chill with open arms. I hope to hear that you are an Austin resident by the time the next SXSW comes around!
You know, I forgot to come back here and share my full review of SXSW 2024, which ended up on the blog. Combined with these notes, I think I provided some really comprehensive coverage. And I got to test out this forum.
It was a wonderful experience for me and it made we want to move to Austin. That move is confirmed happening in the middle of November. Once I get to Austin I hope to immerse myself in the music scene there and try to create connections between Austin and Charleston, while reaching a much larger audience.
This will be a lot of pivoting and figuring things out, but I do believe this forum will help facilitate that transition. Especially with the opportunity to expand by adding more forums over time.
