SXSW has come and gone, but I had a lot of fun and this was probably my favorite SXSW so far. Lots of good bands, got to see just about everyone I wanted to, and barely waited in line the entire time. Highlights include Macklemore (NSFW lyrics), Icona Pop, Capital Cities, and winning tickets to see a private show with Matt & Kim. Best new discovery was Elle King. It probably helped that there were a lot of big name stars to suck up people, including Justin Timberlake (new album comes out tomorrow!), Prince, Smashing Pumpkins, Usher, and John Fogerty. And as usual, it was mass chaos in the streets, but as Icona Pop would say, I LOVE IT!
The NCAA brackets were announced yesterday, and the Gators are coming to Austin! I already bought my tickets, and this will be the first time I'll have gotten to see the Gators play live since I graduated over 6 years ago. And Nate Silver (from election prediction fame) has the Gators as the 3rd most likely team to win it all. I need to figure out the rest of my bracket now too.
I also can't believe it's been 6 years!
Also the first 3 links I tried for the bracket were all generic and would be gone within a few months, so hopefully the link above lasts a bit longer. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it's astounding how many broken links there are back in the archives, where close to 98% of them don't work anymore.
I forgot to write about it in the last update, but my car hit 100,000 miles on March 6th. So far the only major repairs were replacing an alternator and replacing worn shocks, but all in all it's done me very very well. And while it's got a few more scratches, dings, and paint chips it still looks pretty darn good for so many miles. And I still highly recommend it!
