I totally messed up the flow of this post. I wanted to write this up before the festival started. OH WELL, take life as it comes. Now I can include videos. I, obviously, didn't get to go to Austin for this special occasion. When I saw Avett Brothers on the schedule I got so happy, but sad that I couldn't be there. They performed during the first couple of days at South by Southwest. (I must, now, give props to my girl who showed me the light of their gracious music, thanks Katie, you one-upping nazi).
