Good to Be Home
Hey all. We’re back from SXSW in one piece, and it was amazing. I’ve already faxed in my early bird hotel request form for next year; I plan to be right downtown in the thick of the action. All in all, we racked up 44 bands (well, 40, since we saw a few bands twice) in just over 4 days. Here’s the list, but a full (and really long) writeup of the trip is forthcoming.

Can I make up a list of 44 reasons why I’m so jealous I could kill you? I’m sure I could find four reasons good enough to use twice.
how could you forget the drams and lou lou and the guitarfish?
i also can’t believe we left after tilly & the wall and missed best fwends!
uh… yeah, i was counting non-suckass bands. my bad.
though i heard best fwends was supposed to be good, who knows…
