The Strokes @ Auditorium Shores
This spring break was hectic although it was mostly a "staycation." Noah came to stay with us while his family went to Disney. He and Stephen lived it up gaming all night long and sleeping till late each day. Mike had to work the week, and I volunteered the South By Southwest (SXSW) festival so I could earn a music badge. I worked at the Alamo Ritz theater downtown and was able to see some celebrities while watching the antics on 6th street. The music began on Wednesday night and each day there was music everywhere to enjoy. We took Noah to see his first rock concert at Auditorium Shores on Thursday where the Strokes played. The grand finale was fireworks over LadyBird Lake. I was able to see shows for some old favorites like Filter and Puddle of Mudd. I also saw great shows from other acts such as Flogging Molly, AwolNation, Panic at the Disco, and The Bravery. Aside from the usual madness associated with SXSW there were also some cool surprises such as Dennis Quaid coming on stage to sing and play a song during the Bravery's show. The week was exciting, but also exhausting. It will be a relief for our family to get back into a semi-normal schedule.
