  • Free Music at SXSW

    Today at 6:00 p.m, I’ll be heading to the shore of Lady Bird Lake to enjoy some free music from SXSW. Grupo Fantasma will be playing at the Auditorium Shores Stage, a free venue, as part of SXSW 2008. SXSW is quite expensive, but it is the cream of the crop for what it is.…
