Austin Is Currently On Life Support

If you went biking with me today you would not think I was exaggerating. It is usually SXSW here and the city should be too crowded with vacayers and locals going in droves to the coolest gigs and restaurants and bars and music shows and conferences and I don't even know what else cuz I don't go to SXSW much. It felt like Xmas break more than spring break. I loved it. The few pics below barely show the downturn in social life in Austin. You won't see it here but construction of condos and bigger houses and tall skyscrapers seems to continue unabated.
