Wunderbar!

There's a warm spring sun out there, and I'm cooped up in the office for the last few hours before I can get downtown to all the SXSW madness. Bag stuffing with thousands of people moving around in orchestrated chaos kind of wires you up, especially when you realize the thousands of thousands of swag bags represent millions in production dollars.. art, printing, fabrication, cds, shirts. Money chasing money and tons of people wandering the streets with all that stuff and spending plenty more. All week. Traffic's going to be a mess, parking horrible. Long hours spent in line. It's going to be great.

After the British Music Embassy success last year, this year, the Germans are making a go of it, with a few bands, and even a lunch with the Germans. Haven't heard the CD yet.. I wonder if the Dutch will join them next year?

Chaz's 50th comes next weekend.. right in the middle of all the activity. This will be a good week off.
