This is why I love the digital age:
For the first time since I left Austin in 2000, I’m able to stick around after SXSW Interactive for SXSW Music. In 2000, long before mp3 blogs or decent streaming technology or podcasts, you yanked the music preview for the festival out of the Austin Chronicle and guess which bands to see based on whether you had heard of them or whether you liked their name. Maybe you researched them on the Internet or at Waterloo Records first. It was a labor-intensive, sucky process.
No more. See You in the Pit is a grassroots mp3 blog exclusively devoted to artists playing the festival this year. It’s not affiliated with SXSW and contains tons of mp3s of bands slated to play.
Phat efficient. I’ve already signed up (via Large Hearted Boy).

I am so jealous! Last year was, as you know, my first at SXSW and I stayed for Music all by my lonesome. This year I must return to Los Angeles mid-week for work.
But never fear: I shall not be deterred next year and will stay for many days of musical merriment.
Have fun and see you in Austin! I look forward to your blogging of the music festival.
