SXSW

It's that time of year! When warm breezes flow, the lightest green buds are popping through the twigs and branches and great new music comes to Austin. SXSW is definitely more than music, too. For example, my friend Michel Scott is showcasing his documentary "Over the Hill and Far Away" about a young boy with autism who travels to Mongolia with his family to find healing. I used to work for a software startup in town called Pluck and was in charge of our SXSW Interactive trade show presence. That wasn't a bad gig. It allowed me to plan our Club de Ville extravaganza where I witnessed tech nerds dance in ways that I didn't know were possible. They had closet coolness.

Last night, my friend Skyler and I got lucky and managed to get VIP, backstage passes to the Auditorium Shores show with M.Ward headlining. M.Ward is a mellow CD, but a rock 'n' roll show that is worth seeing. His stage performance is very different than what you would hear off of your iPod.

The best part of SXSW, though, has to be that people who come to Austin just love it. Often times they move here after visiting for the fun. Austin is a unique, young, inspiring place to live. And, it doesn't hurt that it's 80 degrees right now.
