SXSW 2010

After blogging the Diamond District, Trek Life & DJ Quartermaine European tour, I decided to chill a bit on SXSW. Instead of blogging as everything happened, I truly wanted to just enjoy it all in the moment. There was so much amazing music & people I only get to see when events bring us together. It was great to just be a fan for a while & nothing more. Here's a brief video of my South By South West experience, enjoy.


& of course... I took some photos.
