SXSW Day Two: better late than never...




It was a hot one down in Austin as day two of South by Southwest kicked off early. The music and mayhem began at 10am, with venues all over the city hosting numerous bands, endless barbecue and scores of sun-drenched music fans. By late afternoon the lucky ones heard about a free lawn party at the Historic French Legion park on San Marcos St. It was a great place to grab some shade and watch about two dozen bands perform. The notables were Cursive and The Thermals. (Unfortunately, the WiFi in Austin hasn't proven to be very reliable, so uploading video has been a hastle. But we'll get to that soon enough -- The Thermals, Cursive, The Stone Foxes and more). For now, here are some pictures of day two. Enjoy and stay tuned for coverage of SFxSXSW, the Bay Area's own party down here in Austin, Tx. Yee-haw!
