T-1 week before takeoff to Austin for SXSW’s music week. I thought I was doing well keeping up with the bands and invites and whatnot until last week. I think I just took on too much. This week will be another doozey, but the more work I get done, the more I will be able to enjoy myself in Austin. Fingers crossed for maximum productivity!
In the meantime, plenty of live shows to keep me motivated. Several of my SXSW picks are in Los Angeles this week including Young Rising Sons, San Cisco, Halsey, Jared & The Mill, Wolf Alice, and Jeremy Loops. SO, if you’re sad you won’t be at SXSW, here’s your chance to get a taste.
