I didn't want to be at SXSW anyway....

Okay, so that's a total lie. I definitely want to be there. So many new artists to listen to surrounded by lots of music nuts like myself? That's the closest thing to heaven right there.

And this year was great because I kept getting invitations from publicists and artists to come to their shows and hang out with them at SXSW (although I didn't know who these bands were but that's besides the point).

However, thanks to certain people who are in charge of my work life, I am unable to take time off to head to Austin. Apparently, mundane workloads are more important than listening to new, awesome bands.

Someone needs to check their priorities. Just saying.
