Austin - SXSW day 4
The final day of SXSW for me was a little more laid back. FIrst, I slept in. Then I went to 2 relaticely interesting and relevant industry panels: "This year's model: Brand Labels" and "Pros and Cons of 360 Deals". Afterwards I went to the hotel to upload tons of pictures from friday. Starvation ensued and I went searching for the perfect meal. Quite fortunately, I found it. I also managed to find Dave just in time to share it with him. We had an awesome meal of middle eastern food at Marakesh (10th and Congress, Austin TX). After dinner, we hooked up with Dylan & Meredith for some drinks at Lovejoy's. Carly also made it to Lovejoy's.
Finally I did actually see some more bands: Two Gallants, The Lonely H, Brazos, White Denim, and The Cops. Aaron Ball from Bellingham is currently playing with The Cops (their usual drummer is on "new parent" leave). I hung out with Aaron and other 'cops' briefly before their show, which was fun. Their show was in a basement and was fun but, way too loud.
Tomorrow, I fly to Washington DC to hook back up with Idiot Pilot and see what has happened during my absence.
