If my venture to the Renaissance Faire today taught me anything, it was that I need to work out more.  A little knife throwing and one round of archery arrows and I am sore!  How weird would it look if I busted out some hand weights while waiting for a band to start?

Looking at my list, we’ll have plenty of opportunities to test out my new workout idea.  Last week brought to LA a couple of my top SXSW artists, Boniface and Jade Bird, and this week the SXSW trend continues with Violet Days, Field Report, and Allman Brown.  I’m rather looking forward to re-living more highlights from my favorite week in March.

Here’s what else is on my mind:
