So SXSW was here this week and I didn’t do a whole lot but I’m sharing the few events I did attend. The free events that is. The first year Katie and I moved here (Katie is my best friend from Michigan-we moved here together) we thought it would be fun to get wristbands so we could see more. That was super silly because all the events we actually could get into were free so that was a bit of a learning curve for us. Since then we’ve figured out that the free events is where it’s at and you can actually see quite a bit of you have the time and dedication. I have a lot less of both these days to things like this but I put in the effort when it’s something I would really like to see. These pictures are of Ben Kweller. My love of Ben Kweller will have to wait for another post because it’s extensive and spans over 10 years. He lives here in Austin so you’d think he’d play a lot here but he sort of doesn’t so whenever he does I do by best to make it. This was one of those times. I was trilled to find a spot up front since being any farther back and under 5ft tall makes seeing much nearly impossible. He put on a great show and I had a wonderful time and was so glad I made the effort.
