{Are you at SXSW right now? Or are you like me, sadly not rocking out in Austin but eager for updates from the field? Either way, TIG is going to post an "open thread" for each day of SXSW, where show-going fans can post comments, and the rest of us can send suggestions/pleas for updates to those lucky peeps (ahem, LIZ!!) who are hooting it up Texas stylee this week. So please — chime on in the comments section below!}
Sounds like igLiz is having an incredible time at SXSW while I'm stuck in Seattle. She saw Michael Stipe yesterday! I'm jealous, jealous, jealous. I'm so jealous, I'm wistfully persuing the Day Two schedule and planning where I would go, if I were there. Which I'm not. Did I mention I'm not there? Sigh.
Well, if I were at SXSW Day Two, this is where I'd be. {Join in the fun — pick your imaginary schedule}:
