WOW! What a great long weekend in Austin at SXSW this year! I hadn't been in a few years but knew it was a must this time around. Got to see one of my all-time favorite bands, Counting Crows on Lady Bird Lake (what could be more perfect than that?). Adam Duritz is a brilliant songwriter and vocalist. It was great to see them enjoying the unending welcome Austin offers every musiscian---local or not!
Some of my new faves did not disappoint either...Neon Trees, Keane, Graffiti6, Ingrid Michaelson, and Of Monsters and Men. And The Boss showing up at the music awards... unbelievable! And folks were out in droves but the vibe was irresistible! It would draw you in, as soon as the first note hit your ears!
My only regret...not making it to much of the film festival. My time was limited and my heart always tends to lean towards music, so I gave in to my first love. However, next year I SWEAR I will do both! I did partake in two mighty fine meals over the weekend as well... delectable late night su6shi at Kenichi and one heck of a three-course meal at Bess Bistro. I highly recommend them both!
In reflection, I'm glad I made it a point to get to SXSW this year. It gave me some definite fond memories to add to my many ones of Austin.
