Swim Until You Can't See Land

Miles of walking and days of waiting in line and I finally got to witness the Scottish invasion firsthand. Well, half of the invasion.

Unfortunately, we missed the rowdier Scot band We Were Promised Jetpacks. We would have been about five feet from the stage, too. The price for missing them? A pretty good chicken burrito at Anarondas just south of downtown Austin. The burrito was good, but I should have better discipline at almost 29 years of age.

I blew out my right ear drum for this shot of the Frightened Rabbit front man. Man, they were good.

SXSW was great, though we didn't get to see a lot of the city and the sets were all very short. You can't beat free unless you hate waiting in lines. I did need the sun...badly.
