SXSW is a challenge of prioritizing - Every hour brings new choices of where to be and who to see. Take a peek at my initial schedules and see the tough choices I had to deal with and you can also see where I ended up seeing something that I hadn't even put on my schedule. Bold indicates the concerts to which I went.
