It's rare enough that I agree with Jim that I thought I better point it out. IMO, his view of the value of SXSW - or any kind of CSRF - is exactly right. Bluegrass has something a little bit like that in the International Bluegrass Music Association's annual trade show - though not surprisingly

Many of you have not gotten the point that I had tried to make. I agree with all of you that you have to make your own opportunites, network, exposure, bla bla bla... SXSW is great. Go home and tell em you went. Make contacts. bla bla on and on. The point is simply this. SXSW seems to have

It looks like there are going to be several cool showcases at SXSW this year. I ran into Johnny Dowd last night, and he told me that his band, the Old 97s, the Bottle Rockets and Robbie Fulks are playing at the Liberty Lunch Saturday night (he's also playing a Checkered Past party at the Yarddog
