So the whole sxsw thing starts today. Actually, at our house it seems to have started last week as we've guests staying with us who're working the film fest.

I say it every year, but its seems particularly true that this year there's a distinct lack of bands to go see. The ones that I do want to see are ones that hit Austin on tour pretty regularly so it kinda misses the point. I am, however, very much looking foward to seeing The Moutain Goats, whom I have never caught when they've come through town. Beyond that there isn't much that gets me very excited.

That's not to say that I don't plan on having a good time. There will be plenty to do, bands to see and tons of free beer to be imbibed. Who could turn it all down. I suspect that I might be running around town trying to hawk the wisdom teeth cd on label people. Nothing like feeling like a used car salesman to get a guy to drinking.
