While most of our time at the SXSW festival in Austin was spent in our Four Seasons studio, interviewing bands and broadcasting the KLAQ Morning Show, I did get a chance to sneak out and explore the city. There were plenty of odd and unusual sights to see and I made sure to take plenty of pictures for you guys!

I not only was a SXSW virgin, but an Austin virgin as well, so I had no idea where I was going or what I was doing, which meant I was often adopted and brought to shows and parties by strangers. Strangers, by the way, are a whole lot nicer in Texas than they are in New York. Can I stay in Texas forever?

Check out some of the highlights of our trip below and check out all of our SXSW coverage, including video of interviews with Dr. John, Foxy Shazam, The Pierces, The Features and more on our SXSW page.
