CiTR

Out of the almost 2000 bands performing through South by Southwest in 2010, I saw maybe fifty, sixty tops. There were shirts around saying "Sorry, I missed your show", which is most appropriate. If you've never been, either SXSW or Austin, Texas, it's a wonderful bubble of bliss.

(And Paris, Texas came out in 1984, not 1982. Sorry for any confusion.)
