sxsw 2011

our recent trip to sxsw in austin was so much fun - jam packed with incredible shows, venues, new sounds, lots of walking and as always interesting people. we arrived earlier than we had last year so we were lucky to see a lot more too!  matthew got to meet up with some people, so all in all it was a great trip...

some of my favorite performances were by the lonely forest, kopecky family band, the head and the heart (which we only saw like 2 songs of but they were great!), yellow ostrich, the submarines, and bear hands.  we desperately wanted to see grouplove and the naked and famous, but the lines were a little crazy this year and we didn't make it in.

all that said, if you haven't heard any of the above, do yourself a favor - get a hold of their music and have a great rest of the day. :)

there was this place we saw a couple shows at called swan dive... it was beautiful. all white and vintage inspired...makes me wanna open up a little venue place here


so now that its been a week since south by, i find myself feeling overly creative. last year i was incredibly inspired as well to dig a little deeper into that side of my brain that rarely sees much action between august and may.  so far, i've painted our patio set a bright blue and am working on a couple mixed art pieces too. ill let ya know how that turns out...maybe. :)

i also now have a stronger yearning to broaden the skies a little beyond johnson city in the years ahead. who knows...we'll see i guess!
