I will at SXSW09 from March 17^th to March 22^nd so I will have sporadic internet access, if any. Please consider getting in contact with me if you want to hang out.

Also, don’t expect any updates from me, until maybe March 24^th or so. I am certain I will be seeing loads of bands, but there are only a few on my preliminary list: SUPERDRAG, THE COATHANGERS, THE DRONES, LAURA MARLING, HONEY CLAWS, ASTEROID GALAXY TOUR and THE CRIMEA.
