Don't mess with Texas!

March 14th I begin my maiden voyage to the forbidden land of Texas: where beef still rules the dinner plate, and the gun totin' cowboy is still king. My destination, is the Colorado riverside town of Austin; where I intend to show off my prowess for mustache growing and gunmanship at one of the biggest music industry festivals in north america: South By Southwest.



I'm particularly looking forward to spending time in some of the towns finer saloons, which as I understand it, will be sporting a variety of entertainment from bull ridin' to world renound jug bands. Some of the acts that have caught my eye so far include: Spoon, Ted Leo and The Pharmacists, Sarah Harmer, Metric Dashboard Confessional, Damone, The Stills, Sam Roberts, Saves The Day, Grady, Corb Lund, The Hellacopters, and Turbonegro.

I'm a little concerned that the folks in the great state of Texas might laugh at me on account of my funny Canadian accent; so for now I'm shining up my boots, and listening to alot of CCR so people will think I was Born on The Bayou.
