SXSW - Austin, TX (Day 4)

Yesterday ended up being pretty cool. We went to lunch with our A&R guy
and our booking agent. That was a good time. After that, the guys
practiced their acoustic set. Then, we went to the festival to watch
MuteMath play. They played a good set, but it was plagued with
technical difficulties. There was a sound guy on stage at least 75% of
their set. Not cool. Anyways, we went back to our buddy's apartment
after that to relax for the evening.

Today, the guys played an acoustic set at the
Indieclick/Absolutepunk.net party (at SXSW). The guys were all a little
nervous about the acoustic set. Fortunately, it ended up going really
well! They sounded great and people really dug it! After the party, we
said our goodbyes and jumped in the van.

Overall, South By Southwest was a real good time! We saw some good
shows, made some good contacts, and had a lot of fun. I can't wait for
the festival next year. Hopefully the guys will be playing a lot of
shows at next year's festival!

We're now about three and a half hours into our fifteen hour drive back
home. We're driving through the night, so we should be home early
tomorrow afternoon. I'm pretty stoked to have a few weeks off. The
tour went really well overall. Two weeks at home will be good, but I'm
sure I'll be ready to go back out in early April!

*Lakin and Chad - Thank you both for putting us up for days at a time.
We owe you both big time!
