In what both feels like a week that has flown by, but also managed to squeeze every last drop out of and packed a mini-lifetime into each day, I’ve reached the end of my first SXSW. It was a blast, and I already know I want to return next year, hopefully a little wiser (pack less clothes, bring spoons, and stay downtown close to the convention center). I’m pretty sure each day of SXSW takes a total of one year off my overall life span, but it’s been worth it.

I wanted to give the group a fair shake on stage to hopefully push me over that ledge into fandom, but sadly, it just wasn’t so.
