I’m powering through the artists from the latest SXSW music announcement. It’s almost maybe feeling like the event might happen in some sort of reasonable in-person way this year, so I am going to be prepared! I’m working on other music-related travel this spring which has been complicated by a Biffy Clyro tour announcement bringing the band to LA (for the first time in 5 years) on a day when I will be out of town thus necessitating another trip to see them in another city (learning towards NYC and Philly, but not ruling out Chicago…). Fingers crossed for safe future travels!
