As most readers know, last week I attended the South by Southwest conference for the first time. I caught the last bits of the film festival, and then was there for both Interactive and Music. I reported on this over at The Mac Observer and iPodObserver.com throughout the week, as follows:

• Twitterized Attendees Shape The Show
• Music Through Wednesday: Béla Fleck, Van Morrison, R.E.M.
• Thursday Music: Body of War, Wheatus, The Presidents of the USA, Bowling For Soup
• Friday and Saturday Music: Vampire Weekend, The Redwalls, The Supersuckers and The Rolling Stones

The music festival really blew me away, and in basically 4 days I saw more than 24 acts, including:

• American Bang
• Béla Fleck
• Ben Harper
• Billy Bragg
• Blue Cheer
• Bowling for Soup
• Brendan James
• Dead Confederate
• Foreign Born
• Jonathan Rice
• Kate Nash
• Kevin Gordon
• Papercranes
• R.E.M.
• RX Bandits
• Serj Tankian
• The Presidents of the United States of America
• The Redwalls
• The Supersuckers
• The Vines
• Tom Morello
• Vampire Weekend
• Van Morrison
• Wheatus

Was a great week, and is also great to be back home!
