March 23, 2010 - Recovering but inspired
Just back from South By Southwest in Austin, TX where I heard more inspiring music (and drank more cheap beer) than any one man can really process. Client Aras Baskauskas played a showcase, I met with a number of label on behalf of my production clients, and... Did I mention drank a ton of beer?
