I second this. Seeing crap like that can have a greater impact than you'd realize. Keep an eye on how you're doing.

And my thoughts are with the dead and injured. Drunk driving is a curse on our society.

I'm glad no one from BEA was hurt 🙁 And I hope you aren't too shaken up purple.. That must be horrible to witness. I'm glad you're not in the ones injured though.

Prayers for everyone in the hospital 🙁

Tonight I witnessed the most fucked up thing I hope I ever have to in person.

The gf got off work late so we couldn't make it to the Black Angels, X, Tyler show early enough to get in. We ended up standing just outside the patio where they were all playing. Part way through the X show I heard a bang and a bunch of screams right behind us and looked around to see a car on the next block going full speed, hit two cyclists, scrape against a row of parked cars, and continue into a crowd of pedestrians. On the block I was on, there were a handful of people on the street; everyone I saw on that block regained consciousness in a few minutes but as of now there are two dead.

It just puts a pit in your stomach. Prayers out to Austin's injured.

Ignoring my old comments on the plague of crowds, I'm seeing X, Black Angels, Tyler the Creator, et al. tonight, Viet Cong (from the ashes of Women), Kelela, et al. tomorrow, and Madlib, Prince Paul, Dam Funk, Jonwayne, and Peanut Butter Wolf on Saturday ~~~

I will be in attendance. At least for a few days. Yes, Austin is a mad house this time of year, but if you treat it like a raging river with out any set agenda, and just go with the flow. It's a great time. At least for the ppl just visiting. :lol:

I'll PM you my phone number if you want to meet up for lunch and/or a few beers. I'm trying to get into the North Door on the 15th to see Dam-Funk and Madlib but beyond that I'll just be chillin' in south Austin not dealin' with the crowds.

South By Southwest, the largest annual musical event in the US (and so much more), is happening March 7th through March 16th (at least the official part) in Austin, TX. Is anyone here traveling to Austin to take part in it?

Not this year. I thought about it, but it's tough for me to take that time from work and SXSW is a bit insane. although I wouldn't mind the warmer weather and bbq

I think my boy Christopher Paul Stelling is playing the fest for his 3rd straight year, but might end up canceling due to the costs of getting down there and all that.

Don't get me wrong, I love ACL and FunFunFunFest, but SX is too much. What seems like a "walkabout town and see all the bands" type of event often turns into a "hold the fort down at one venue because they'll reach fire capacity three hours before the good bands come on" type of event. One of my sisters is friends with a guy who could provide me with a pass to a venue each day, but then I'm still stuck at a venue. That being said, I like what SXSW is and watching the videos that come from it afterwards. The street performers that come out of the woodwork are often quite good too. I guess I'm oldish and just prefer festival environments.

Yeah makes sense. My approach is not to buy any badges, wristbands, anything. I go to the free shows at Auditorium Shores, Waterloo Records, W hotel, etc. Then fill in with smaller bands - that show at Hole in the Wall was a $5 cover and I don't think it ever sold out. Last night I saw shows at three venues, Deer Tick being one of them.

You'd avoid a chance to see amazing bands for next to nothing because of a little inconvenience? And trust me, traffic is fine when you're heading home at 2am.

Is anyone visiting Austin, or any Austinites checking out the fest this year?

I saw an amazing show last night at Hole in the Wall:
- Pollies
- District Attorney
- Old Yeller
- Two Cow Garage
- Grand Champeen (yes, back together)
- Glossary

I wish! Love Two Cow Garage!!!!!!

I'm flying into San Antonio on Sunday, but I won't be able to make Austin in time for anything.

I am going to Beale Street in Memphis at the beginning of may, though!
