Ok, we started out attending SXSW – Interactive, Film and Music. Now thats 10 days of too much to do. I shot some shows during the SXSW Music – found here, attended the SXSWi (Great stuff!) and humped around Austin. (And ate. Alot.)

    Love your pictures. How long does that road trip take? I want to something like it?

    Thank you!

    We didnt spend too much time on it – I think we used 8 days. But that was short. If you have two weeks it should be ok (but then again – I could easy use two months.. :) )
