South by Southwest 08

When South by Southwest makes its way to Austin, it usually means one thing for the people in Dallas: ROAD TRIP! There are plenty of people, especially in Austin (damn dirty hipsters), who sound a little more ambivalent when talking about SXS. They will even tell you how disgusted they are with how commercial the festival has become. Although what they say may be true, with so much good music in one place it is hard to stay angry long. 

If you are too broke to shell out the 100 plus dollars for wristbands to see some of the more popular acts, there are plenty of free shows in the area. Did i mention free alcohol? It may be Keystone, but it is free! A lot of parties are hosted by some magazine, alcohol company, new energy drink, or a combination of the three.  All you have to do is go on-line and RSVP.

There was a whole bunch to see and not enough battery life on my camera, so this video is short and sweet.

Here are some pics. Only six actually. Damn battery!
