SXSW Begins

It’s literally only been a couple of hours since landing in Austin, TX for SXSW and already great things have started to happen.  I heard a group of people talking about what bands they were going to see, waiting for my connecting flight in Detroit.  I met Amanda Palmer on the plane who’s playing a couple of shows this week, and of course,  I promised I would be there.  And, after a great dinner at Katz’s we wandered down 6th Street to where I’m pretty sure I saw Bob Boilen from All Songs Considered, of which I am a huge fan!

Here are just some of the bands on the agenda tomorrow:

The Phenomenal Hand Clap Band

The Decemberists

Mother Mother

We ended the night with a couple of pints at an irish pub, where my friend was hit on by a cute texan girl!  It’s going to be a great week if this keeps up!

    Sounds like a great start to a wonderful vacation for you, you deserve this.
    Some of the band names are very unique and weird. Wonder how they come up with the names and why? Like the Decemberists, are their birthdays in December? How are the acoustics at the venues. You are going to come back with a hearing deficit!
