SXSW 2012 Tour Diary: Jip Jop, Day 3

sxsw2012.jpgGearing up for their next show in Austin tonight, Carlos checks in with what's been occupying Jip Jop's time in Texas. Do we have some new SXSW converts? Yes, yes we do.

Day 3

SXSW has not failed to disappoint! Every street is full, every bar packed, and every show is live. We started the day by heading to the Greenbelt to take a break from the crowds and experience a different side of Austin.

After some ad hoc margaritas, a couple dips in the spring and some BBQ at Rudy's Gas Station we headed into Austin to check out some other performances and to meet new musicians. SXSW definitely came through with shining colors; business cards were exchanged, demos were shopped and the performances were top notch. All in all, we had a great time and met some amazing people! Where are the "I Love SXSW" t-shirts?!

Can't wait for our next performance tonight!
