Surviving SxSW

The first rule is not to take a vehicle downtown. The second rule is don't try to have dinner downtown. The third rule is to dine early. There was room at the Tree House and the fish was fresh and the veal was like manna to those who ordered it. We'll probably forget to ask how long in advance the reservations were made at the Inn at Pearl Street. We do know that it's taking four arrivals to bring seven people to Austin, all departing from the same location.
