The SXSW Music Festival kicked off on Wednesday, with 68 some-odd venues and an average of 5 or so bands at each venue per night. It's crazy, but the wide variety on the menu keeps music revelers happy and spread out. The golden appeal of SXSW is its location in Austin, Texas, which features an entertainment district matched by none in the world, making it possible to hop (or stroll, actually, with Sixth Street barracaded from Red River to Brazos) from one bar to the next, taking in as much as you can handle. It's really quite a special and energizing experience for the music lover.
