I would LOVE to see the Femurs at SXSW! I would love to be at SXSW :(.

Good morning Austin! Here's my rough estimate of what today might (should?) hold...
12p - These United States (outside Emos)
1p - White Denim (Peacock)
(ok, things are about to get dicey for the next hour -- I'll see what I can do...)
1.15p - A Place To Bury Strangers (Mohawk)
1.30p - These New Puritans (outside Emos)
2.15p - YACHT (outside Emos)
3.50p - Jason Collett (Emos annex)
4p - Holy Fuck (Peacock)
4.30p - Fishboy (Lovejoys)
5p - Wedding Present (Emos annex)
5.30p - Hey Willpower (Emos inside)
(meet up with friends for dinner, wander, discover, splash face with cold water to refresh thyself for the evening festivities)
9.30p - The Judys (Austin Music Hall) (super excited about this)
11p - Okkervil River with Roky Erickson (Austin Music Hall)
12a - Does It Offend You, Yeah? (Parish)
(or/and) Ting Tings (Buffalo Billards)
(or/and) REM (Stubbs - total longshot, not sure if it's worth even using up precious time for this one)
1a - The Carrots (Blind Pig Rooftop)
(or/and) White Williams (Antones)
(or/and) Dan Deacon (Emos JR)
OK, off to start the day with Ye Olde Continental Breakfast. It's a good sign that I'm out of control craving hot sauce at 8a, right? Let the SXSW begin!

Hot sauce is the sustenance of my life. Do not be ashamed of the sauce, it will treat you well.

Oh, *sigh*! I'm living vicariously through you, Liz!

YAY! I just got a call from the Wedding Present -- I'm going to do a wee interview with them today at 3p... What should I ask?
BTW - this keyboard I am typing on from the Convention Center is kinda wonko... so apologies for typos.

I know, I know, I wish I was in Austin right now too! Could there be a few more amazing artists at SXSW? No.
But for real: AUSTIN VS. SEATTLE: South By Southwest or Pacific Northwest? Which city is best? Check out my blog and tell me what you think:

Dude, the Drag beats the Ave any day. I love Seattle, thats why I live here, but there is something about being down south that just doesn't resonate for me in Seattle. I can't explain it, and you won't understand it - unless of course you come from TX.
