I couldn’t really tell you if it’s a record for me or not.  I know my feet are finally starting to feel better.  So how was SXSW?  It was better than last year.  I’m not sure it topped the first year, but it’s more of the experience.  It’s something you need to experience at least once.  Last year I got food poisoning and missed some bands.  This year I maintained and rocked out.  Although it was front loaded with big names opposed to other years.  Will I go back next year?  It’s too early and I’m too sore to tell you that now.
