SXSW – Make Some Noise

IMG_4145

I walked through Rainey Street (appropriately named for tonight’s weather) and went to the Neiman Marcus Make Some Noise party at 78 Rainey Street.  It ended quickly after I arrived, but I did get to see the end of the set for Marina and the Diamonds.  It was a good start to a very wet evening.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

I went to a relatively small and calm celebration for Saint Patrick’s Day at the Shoal Crossing Event Center this evening.  There was music and drinks on the inside, and music, dancing, drinks, and food on the outside.  If you ever have the chance to see the Inishfree Austin Irish Dancers or the Silver Thistle Pipes and Drums, then please take advantage of it.  They both put on great performances tonight!

SXSW – Waiting in Lines

IMG_4120-0

If you come to SXSW, it is inevitable – you will find yourself waiting in lines.  This example is of a very long line alongside the MetroRail tracks just to pick up some wristbands for The FADER FORT.  If you find yourself in a line like this, please be nice to others and always try to strike up a conversation and make some new friends.  You never know, you just might meet someone from the other side of the world.
