SXSW 2014 Recap

Hi. Wellll, how time flies when you're have much too much fun, right?! There was Mardi Gras, then I got right back to Austin just in time for SXSW. And can I just say, O.M.G. I'm exhausted, but these past few weeks have been such a blast. South By this year exceeded my greatest expectations and I'm so happy about it. We discovered new music, enjoyed some old favorites, made new friends, played with animals, got our faces painted, drank a lot... of coffee, of course ;) and got little sleep. SO. Worth. IT.

Then there was my favorite day at The Beehive hosted by The Wild Honey Pie music blog. These humans are awesome. They put on a killer showcase with some badass decor (um, gold painted honey bear chandeliers anyone??!) and introduced me to so many great new bands. One being How Sad. They are so wonderful, y'all. Check them out. They were super nice and their new singer/tamborine cutie, Camellia and I were basically best friends by the end of the day. They made me wanna dance (check), become best friends with them (basically check), jump around (yeah, check), and learn the drums (well... I'll work on that one). Besides How Sad I discovered a lot of great new music throughout the week and I'm so thrilled about it. Check out the playlist I put together of some of my faves I saw during my 10(ish) day whirlwind at SXSW!

The night before SXSW officially started my roomie and I went to see STRFKR at Mohawk. Great show.

Watched some bands play at Speak Easy right in front of the Frost Tower. Pretty bad ass view.

Yay! Got to see my friends Rosco Bandana (from Mississippi) play at Javelina on Rainey St. So glad we got to hang out and watch the show. You guys were great! As usual.

What what what what. Outside of Stubb's I got to meet Ben Haggerty AKA Macklemore! Best day :)

Oh yeah, and his right hand man. The crazy talented and super adorable Ryan Lewis!!

Had so much fun at the Rachael Ray Party at Stubb's. Got to do the Footloose line dance during Kenny Loggins performance. Pretty cool!

And finally, to end a LONG week of not only SX, but also moving into a new place and trying to get settled in, I had a relaxing bunch at Haddington's on St. Paddy's Day with my best friends :)

It was fun SX, but now time to rest for a couple days then I'm off to NYC for mine and my mom's birthday. I'm wearing a short tank dress right now, and it's going to be in the 30s and 40s in NYC. Burrrrr. But I'm still super excited to visit again. Weeeee! Stay tuned.
