It's Weird

It’s weird to live in a place where it seems that the entire internet and entertainment communities have converged. While seemingly the entire world is partying in your backyard, you’re just commuting to your job, going to the doctor, and assiduously avoiding downtown. Because the whole world is crowded in there. I asked Mason if he was doing trivia tonight and he retorted “Can’t go downtown during SouthBy”. Oh, right. And then, especially with that downtown avoidance, I’m experiencing SXSW the same way the entire rest of the world is – virtually on my computer screen. Oh, Prince is playing a surprise show within 5 miles of my house? That’s nice, I’ll hear about it on the internet, same as my friends in Chicago and Portland.

It’s very strange.
