South By Southwest (SXSW) is a Music, Film, and Interactive festival that takes place in Austin during Spring Break. This year, the festival spans from March 7-16, 2014.
I finally convinced my five best guy friends, who are literally like brothers, to come visit me in Austin. None of them had ever been to Austin, so it was a wonderful pleasure to be able to show them this amazing city.
The first thing we did, was take a bus ride to Whole Foods to get them guest wristbands for SXSW. As soon as we got there, though, they were all out. So, we decided to grab a bite to eat before heading over to the other side of downtown to wait in line for the mtvU Woodie Awards.
We went to Hut's Hamburgers. I heard from a friend that it was one of the best burger places in town, so we all decided to try it. It was delicious! The options were endless, the burgers were huge, the staff was so nice and attentive, and the place was decorated perfectly with sports and university banners, vintage signs, and newspaper clippings.
When we got to the area where the Woodies were going to be held, there was already a long line. Thankfully, the capacity of the venue was 2,500 people and we were probably standing around the 800 mark.
The festival lineup included Wild Cub, Vic Mensa, Echosmith, Bleachers, London Grammar, Sam Smith, Phantogram, American Authors, The 1975, Iggy Azalea, and Childish Gambino.
Lil Wayne even made a surprise appearance, as well as Danny Brown, Steve Aoki, and many other celebrities.
The show was beyond fantastic.

After the festival, we got lost in downtown looking for a bus. But, eventually we made it home, exhausted, after a long day full of music, friends, and fun.
