Recently, the South by Southwest music, film, and interactive event covered up after another successful year in Austin. Since it comes during spring break week, it's become my tradition to take a break from my teaching work to benefit the event at one of the music sites. It is always a fascinating and pleasant change of speed for me, and my students get a real kick out of saying their teacher performing at a club and reveling combined with the music lovers and club hoppers.This year was no different. The SXSW music event draws over 1400 rings and a lot more than 5000 music industry specialists to Austin, and that number doesnt also take into consideration those thousands attending the picture and fun conventions which run simultaneously under the SXSW banner, and Austin embraces them all with open arms.

Austin provides more live music venues per capita than any other city in the U.S., and host is played by clubs of all sizes, including a church to artists from all over the world during the four-night music festival. The party officially kicks off on Wednesday night with Austins own version of the Grammys, The Austin Music Awards. Jimmy Benson of Asleep at the Wheel, was a big success, and Pete Townshend previously of The the stage was taken by Who, with fellow Brit, Ian McLagan, now a precious Austin performer. At my club on 6th Street, we presented groups from Nyc, Chicago, San Francisco, and Amsterdam, and famous St. Patricks Time with Irish Music Night on Saturday. Without exception, the members of the their entourages and companies were thrilled about playing Austin and having the chance to be identified by a maker or promoter, or found by a record label. One band member excitedly informed me that after their show, they were contacted to collaborate on an important film soundtrack! At the very least during SXSW, Austin could be the city where dreams can actually come true. Up and down the 6th Street entertainment district and beyond, record executives examined their agendas and rushed from club to club, munching chopped barbecue snacks and looking at the artists, who ranged from audio singer/songwriters to outrageously-dressed and spikey-coiffed punks and heavy metal screamers clad in their expected black garb. Early one night, a nicely dressed middle-aged couple approached should they could purchase a ticket for the show me to ask.

Obviously, their daughter was playing, and he had been followed by the proud parents to Austin for a mini-vacation and the show completely from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. That day had been wonderful, with the temperature hovering near 80, and we chatted for a while about their visit, and what they had seen and done during Austin. The couple was joyful within their praise and assured that next year they'd be back for an extended vacation and would definitely be getting friends. A woman from great BRITAIN dropped in to thank me for recommending Marias Taco Express, certainly one of the best haunts, and asked me to an private party in a hotel penthouse regional, later that night. Since this wonderful carriage that's SXSW has to reverse into a pumpkin by Monday morning, I thanked her, but had to drop, and I had some lesson plans to write.
