For those of you asking what SXSW is (yes, I have people asking me what SXSW is), according to it’s wiki, South by Southwest (SXSW) is a set of interactive, film, and music festivals and conferences that take place every spring in Austin, Texas, United States of America. SXSW first began in 1987 and is centered on the downtown Austin Convention Center. Each of the three parts runs relatively independently, with different start and end dates.
I will going to cover the music portion the best I can with our newest member, Tanner. Neither of us have experienced this and are currently coordinating schedules so we can bring you the best of our insane journey to center of the future of music as we know it. This is going to fun.
Here are some of our favorites to give you an idea what we’re looking forward to.

So yeah I’m driving to LA this weekend and I threw together this little sample playlist of what I’m going to have playing on my stereo on the way down there. Much of this playlist is somewhat new and quite impressive so try to make it through, pass it around, and let me know your thoughts.
Enjoy!

I don’t think I can sum up my Valentine’s Day in a few words. I’m just glad I was able to spend the time with someone who I connect with. Whether it was eating crepes on 4th street in San Rafael, a massive pillow fight in San Francisco, or cuddled up on the futon watching Moon (which was brilliant); I can safely say I like where I am right now. Here’s to another day appreciating the company of another…

In case some of you don’t know, my brother has recently joined the Coast Guard and gotten stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii. While your immediate reaction may be, “Holy Cow! That is awesome!”; since Steve has been stationed in Hawaii, he has bought a broken moped, had surgery on his big toe, and he is away from family. To be fair, he’s exploring a place that everyone that isn’t there, wishes they were. So to keep him company and in hopes it will make him feel better, I’ve made a little mixtape with music he loves. Feel free to download this theme to his private adventure.
