Wednesday, on four of sleep and seven hours of traveling, I began the day with a margarita and Quiet Company, a lovely powerpop outfit from right here in Austin. And, uh, I'm a big fan of that powerpop stuff, you know. And so are the 14 year old girls that were sitting in front of me. The singer's voice kind of reminds me Ben Kweller. Just go listen. I like it. I can't get too descriptive due to aforementioned margarita. Sowwy.

After that, I headed over to see the Athens in Austin party and caught both Dead Confederate and Modern Skirts. It was a lot of fun to see these bands play in the daytime, and with another margarita. Dead Confederate is really picking up speed, and I haven't seen them in a while, but I can tell they're one of those bands that will just get better and better. I think everyone who popped in appreciated their southern rock implosion.

After closing out the party train, I had a pint with some friends. I think my cut-off for live music is at sundown. I just want to booze after that. Merry Vacation.
Look how cool and important I am.

sxsw tip #1: dont see bands from your hometown that you can see whenever you want.
sxsw tip #2: dont see bands that play your hometown every time they tour.
sxsw tip #3: drink and eat as much free alcohol and food as possible. (i think you have this one covered nicely.) ;)
have fun!
I totally agree! However, sometimes you have to rely on the generosity of people you know when you have no badge or wristband...
Plus, when you roll solo, it's nice to bump into familiar faces.
I plan to take full advantage of doing what I want on no schedule for today. So we'll see where I wind up...
Random: the guy to the left of you and the guy to the far right look like they have the same shirts one.
Back on track: that sounds awesome! take advantage of the people watching too :-)
