Different kiosks lined the media lounge at Austin City Limits last weekend, offering cold beverages and delicious snacks (like a strawberry-flavored organic Fruit Roll-Up that looked like throw-up but tasted like bliss). Journalists were interviewing different musicians at every table, and radio stations like the local KUT were broadcasting live. It was something else.

SXSW Music - Day One (Wednesday) Here's who I saw, some music and notes. Started the night at Emo's seeing local blues and R&B fave Black Joe Lewis who threw down an inspired and fun set of rock and R&B.
