South by southwest (or, for all you hip acronym kids, SXSW) started in earnest yesterday evening. There are hipsters everywhere. Seriously, there is not a single part of Austin where you can’t find some jackass in tight jeans, black converse and his official badge proclaiming his jerk-off status. Granted I’ve only lived in Austin for eight months, but I’m just as pissed off as the rest of the locals.
Being the sensitive, environmentally friendly (oh and did I mention poor) guy that I am, I ride the bus. Usually this is an only mildly irritating, but today it made me want to commit unspeakable acts. Luckily there is an upshot, there is currently an unbelievable amount of fucking amazing music in town.
Now if I can only wade through the sea of regrettable haircuts and poorly applied eyeliner…
