SXSW 2007 is finally over, and I had a blast going to 26 bands over the course of 4 days, not including the dozens upon dozens of bands I heard on street corners, through open windows, and just generally everywhere that a stage could possibly be built. And with over 1600 bands converging on Austin this past week, there was no shortage of stuff to see. I put the list of bands and the better pictures I took on this South by Southwest page to make it easy. I took Friday off to catch up on sleep and see some day shows, and next year I'll probably take a few extra days off and try to see some of the movies as well.
Slate had an interesting article about websites to provide microlending as a charitable cause. It's a really awesome idea that I had first heard about back when the 2006 Nobel Peace prize was awarded to Muhammad Yunus but I didn't realize regular people could help out too.
If you're too much of a rebel to order of a menu and want to go into uncharted territory, the Consumerist has a big guide to the secret menu's at chain restaurants. Such as chili at Chili's and that Starbucks and TGI Friday's will make you absolutely anything you ask for so long as they have it. The rest of the website is pretty cool too.
