SXSW Comes to Dallas

Once my legs were strong, and my ears were tolerant of much noise. I attended rock-and-roll shows all the time. I slam-danced once. I knew secret places to park for free in Deep Ellum (it was hard to park there back then). Now I am old and have children and do not attend rock-and-roll shows anymore. I attend birthday parties at Pump It Up. I shuttle children to soccer matches. My lower back hurts if I stand for longer than 15 minutes, and my ear drums have grown brittle and sensitive. So I have no use for this fine resource that Erin Rice has put together for Pegasus News. It’s a list of all the bands that are coming through town on their way to or from the big SXSW festival in Austin. I can guarantee that I won’t see a single one of these bands. But it makes me happy just to know that some young person will. And that that young person will see this fine resource and use it.

Get out there, kid. Have fun.
