One of the many reasons I love you, Jeff.<BR/><BR/>I suspect that SXSW is way too much of a good thing. In this case, the festival element is somewhat mitigated by the fact that bands play in the many bars in Austin. However many people a bar holds is how many people will attend any given concert. And honestly, that's part of the appeal. You get to see a lot of great musicians/bands in relatively intimate settings.<BR/><BR/>But the spring break analogy is accurate, too. It's a week of general debauchery, which I don't need. I'd love the music. I'd love the opportunity to spend a lot of time with my Paste cohorts. I'd probably welcome the opportunity to make some new contacts with music folks because in the music industry, as in any other industry, networking is a big part of the game. <BR/><BR/>I could do without the rest of the circus. And I'd struggle with not being able to go to bed by 11:00. Sometimes I lose sight of the fact that this really is a young person's milieu. Rock 'n roll all night long, or at least until the local news comes on.Andy Whitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010130934552315074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1142395848534036082006-03-14T23:10:00.000-05:002006-03-14T23:10:00.000-05:00I love music.But I could not imagine going to the ...I love music.<BR/><BR/><BR/>But I could not imagine going to the recording industries equivalent of college spring break in daytona. <BR/><BR/>I would love seeing many of these bands one at a time while hanging with good friends- but these festivals are overwhelming. <BR/><BR/>Concerts are to Festivals<BR/>as<BR/>Marital Sexual Bliss is to a sex orgy.<BR/><BR/>Too much of a good thing out of an appropriate context and it may kill you.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm old now.Jeff Cannellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03232703856341377295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-1142392625455422482006-03-14T22:17:00.000-05:002006-03-14T22:17:00.000-05:00awe that has got to hurt.
