SXSW Journal: March 17
Day 2 of SXSW was more enjoyable than Day 1, if only because no traveling was involved and we had a pretty good feel for the lay of the land. Ate some excellent BBQ at Stubb's (pulled pork sandwich and mashed yams and sweet tea -- oh god) in the company of bands and label execs and a few somewhat-annoyed-but-mostly-good-natured locals.
Attended the Schuba's party at the Yard Dog Gallery on South Congress. Didn't think too much of the art, but I never do. And anyway, the beer was free and cold and the music was good. The people there were mostly Chicago: Charlie walked into the back courtyard/alley where the crowd was and said, "Looks Polish. Must be Chicago." And it was. Lots of semi-familiar faces. A bunch of family types -- as the indie rock world ages, it seems like they bring their kids in with ease. Tow-headed boys playing hide-and-seek in the alley next to the BBQ tent while the Natural History rocked out on stage and Daddy lugged the Crimea's gear.
