This time tomorrow, I'll be in Mexico where I plan to do little other than sit on the beach, sip a margarita, and work on my suntan. Maybe tour some Mayan ruins. Regrettably, I'll be missing some key music events back here in NYC, including a pair of Ecstatic Music Festival shows and the entire remainder of Tully Scope, including what looks to be an amazing event on 3/18 with Heiner Goebbels. Sorry Judd and Jane: sometimes even I need a bit of a break.
On my way back, though, I'll be touching down in Texas for the 25th edition of SXSW, which looks to be more of a madhouse than ever. What can I say: I just can't help myself.
If you're not making the pilgrimage to Austin next week, definitely try to catch one of the four Godspeed shows Ronen's putting on at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle and the Brooklyn Masonic Temple. All four shows are sold out, so check the usual places for tickets.
Otherise, see you in Austin!
