Australian Acts at SXSW
As usual Airborne put on a great show to a packed out crowd. There were quite a few locals headbanging along – and Joel did his usual thing of jumping on the bar and playing his guitar along it. I didn’t manage to catch Dallas Crane play but i did see them at an Aussie [...]
SXSW Music
Just a brief check in. The music festival is madness. So tired. I treated myself to a sleep in today. I’ve signed up with a photo agency called Retna, and they require my photos asap, and tightly edited with captions. So every night i come home i’m up to the wee hours sorting that out. [...]

How’re y’all doin? SXSW Update
I’ve been busy attending SXSW Interactive panel sessions, talking to people, taking photos, drinking beer and eating Mexican. I’ve tried to blog the panel sessions but haven’t found the words. Plenty of notes have been taken and most of the speakers are putting their presentations online so i’ll compile everything together at some point. One [...]
