A Belated 75th

The airport in Austin was just covered in Willie Nelson stuff yesterday on his 75th birthday. Meant to post yesterday, but life as it is.

7 Things I could be doing at SXSW

For those of you that don’t know what SXSW is - it’s a big ass party with really cool gift bags, if you have the right pass. Previously centered around music and indie film, it is increasingly a place for interactive media. The last time I went was 2001.  I had a flip phone the size of a brick and a $400 cell bill that month - oh roaming, maybe that was the first time.

The older I get the more cities and experiences blur, especially the same city and the same event, so my 3 times being in Austin during SXSW have become a memory mashup with a little bit of 2 ACL’s thrown in. Nevertheless here is my list:

1. Seeing REM - It’s been 6 or 7 years since the last time I saw them. You have to have priorities
2. Seeing Darryl Hall and Friends, I mean what is Hall without Oates? I guess Oates isn’t considered a friend anymore. You’re curious too and I bet you never saw them either so new is good. Rock n Soul Pt 1 is like the album of a generation.
3. The Flagstock Poster Show
4. I would use cerado’s Pocket Guide to find twitter friends, that sounds weird, but it’s what I would do.
5. People watch from the lobby of the intercontinental and random around 6th a good deal.
6. Catching up with folks I know in Austin (John P, Eric S, Dan W & Trey)
7. Sharing my experience via my iPhone.

It’s weird, my top priorities would be music, then art, then media. It is what it is… I probably wouldn’t even buy an IA badge. It’s all theoretical anyhow, since I’m sitting at home with 2 kids, 2 dogs, 6 episodes of Super Why on the Tivo, an internet connection and just enough Easy Mac to make it through the weekend.

Oddly enough - I think I have more of an opportunity at home, than on the road. Priorities indeed.

Setlist: The Police 11/17

So I thought I had already posted this, but I didn’t. Was a good show, it was the Police in the round. The only thing I did realize is that Sting or perhaps the Police specifically have great deal of lyrics which are NOT words. Regardless a good show and one I never thought I would see.

Setlist the Police Atlanta, November 17, 2007 - Phillips Arena:

Message in a Bottle
Synchronicity II
Walking On The Moon
Voices Inside My Head
When The World Is Running Down - (Beer and bathroom run)

Don’t Stand So Close To Me (The two couples next to use left after?!?!!?)

Driven To Tears
Truth Hits Everybody
Hole In My Life
Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
Wrapped Around Your Finger
De Do Do Do De Da Da Da
Invisible Sun
Walking In Your Footsteps (Probably the surprise rock song of the night)
Can’t Stand Losing You
Roxanne
King Of Pain
So Lonely
Every Breath You Take
Next To You

The did have a brief break, but I wouldn’t say they had an “Encore”.  There were no telltale signs of lighters or the “open cell phone” phenomena which happens at “over 40″ shows to encourage the band to come back.  Also, apparently folks think their phones take good pictures from 35 yards in the dark with lighting effects.
