South by Southwest

03.23.09 - Austin, Tx. - Went to South by Southwest for the weekend and hung out with my friend Dave and his girlfriend Gabby. We saw several concerts, including a free one where Fastball AND Eryka Badu played. She only played two songs though, so she's lame. 

Anyway, a good time was had by all and the food comes highly recommended.

Cheers,

Will
