This past weekend I attended the Austin City Limits Music Festival. As a revenge act for not going last year I got me a nice 3 day pass; and most of my local friends decided to go as well. It was both a lot of fun and extremely tiring. These festivals aren’t easy on an [...]
It’s been a rough week. The SXSW Music festival started on Wednesday and for four days in a row I endured the trip downtown and the concerts and the partying. I know, it’s a tough job but somebody has to do it. Nathan came over from Dallas for the whole thing. A bunch of the [...]

Thanks to everyone who came, [...]
As some of you may already know, we had a little get-together in my place last Saturday to celebrate Julia’s, Karine’s and my birthday. It turned out to be a lot of fun. Since most of yesterday was spent cleaning and sleeping, I have not uploaded any photos. I’ll try to do that tonight.
