SXSW 30: A Break in the Dark
We all need a little respite. My SXSW began Wednesday, March 10. By Wednesday, March 17, I was still on pace, not fatigued, but definitely slowing down.
And SXSW Music had only just begun. Five more days to go.
Anyway, after the Mayor’s Welcome, I toddled across the street with colleague Marcus Harper for appetizers at III Forks. Ideal respite. Key ingredient: The room was dark and seemed to grow darker, unlike the shiny, happy brightness outside. The happy-hour prices on the thick, juicy onion rings and blue-cheese steak chips also helped.
By the time we emerged, dusk had fallen and I was ready for music. My advice to you during SXSW: Find respite.
