Thanks to the fund raising efforts of Willo and the kind and generous donations of listeners. If day one was any indication, this SXSW is going to be another great one.

Thank you Willo, thank you Ali, thank you everyone who donated, and everyone who even just thought about donating. Your kindness is most appreciated.

Photos and such will be posted as time allows, but I need to relay one quick story from this afternoon -- Misty & I were ealking along, having seen a few bands already, and Misty go hungry, so we went to Stubb's. During out brief lunch, we were serenaded by R.E.M. who were peforming sound check for their show this evening. I love SXSW.
