To make up for my lack of shows on Thursday, Friday was filled with show after show of really good stuff.

My first stop was at Momo’s for the SXSW Underage Party. I didn’t know the show featured under-aged bands so imagine my surprise when I walked in and saw that I was one of the oldest people there. All the other adults seemed to be parents of the bands and fans in the venue. So my immediate reaction was “What did I get myself into?”

For The Accent, I was one of the five staff members selected to cover 2009's SXSW Festival with a free photo pass and music wristband. Our requirements were to post a recap of what we see on a blog they created for us, upload the photos we took onto the Accent's Flickr account and then a pre- and post-article for the print edition. Needless to say, I was very busy but it was a lot of fun, saw some great bands, hung out with old and new friends and the list goes on.

So instead of posting everything here one post after another, here are some links. I will be posting some of my SXSW blog though as separate posts.
