last night

I looked up

    the moon's a foggy smile

jogged to catch

the 3 bus, diagonally

across the empty street

holding (like a smooth pebble

in my bag) your thought,

    it was really good to see you,

a week later but you said it,

    briefly, Jen

briefly me.

Later in the evening Ray Wylie Hubbard just made it very clear, in case you needed reminding, that he is still a bad ass. It was too crowded to get a photo, same with the Steeldrivers set.

The Farewell Drifters in their SXSW debut

French Legation Museum: Contrary to the schedule this was not Niki and the Dove, they played dreamy rock with good vocal harmonies, two drummers and an accordion. 

J Irvin Dally = yes

March 13

I was not happy with the t-shirt advertising I was being asked to wear...

...so I put a bird on it!

SXSWoah!

Sarah Jarosz at SXSW '10

It's upon us, this crazy festival of music, film, and interaction.

In years past I've been the visitor and bounced around from show to show, but this year I'm going to be much more stationary. I'll be helping the local NPR affiliate, KUT edit their live performances for later air.

I'm also working on stage crew at the White Horse, March 14-16, so I'll catch all the official showcases there. I'm excited to hear:
The Farewell Drifters
The SteelDrivers
Jack Wilson
Shakey Graves
Brennen Leigh

Saturday (3/17), I'm playing at and producing a day show at Irie Bean:
2pm Head for the Hills
2:45 The Railflowers
3:15 Rakosi
4:00 Jen Hitt
4:45 Dave Mulligan
5:15 Joy Kills Sorrow
