SX Moments: Day 1

We started our SXSW adventures on Thursday afternoon by riding our bikes down to Club Deville for an afternoon filled with free music and drinks.

(I didn't have to pay for parking at this meter!) 

I didn't really know anyone from the lineup that day, but we enjoyed the music nonetheless.  A $3 wristband got us as many free Miller High Lifes and Mike's Hard Punch as we could drink, and by the time we rode home, I was feeling quite good.  I think one of the most popular freebies this year was sunglasses...I came home with 3 different pair (and that was because I got tired of taking them).

(Alison and Alex sporting the free shades at Club Deville).

We spent most of the day hanging around in the shade, drinking free booze and talking.  Overall, the music was more of a backdrop than anything on day 1, and that was okay.

Agreed.
