Damn, what i wouldn't give to be able to go to this. Sxsw = south by southwest, for those who don't know. It's actually a fairly big event in independent music, and usually is where labels go to hustle their ringtone game. For stones throw and duck down to get on this is kind of a big deal for both labels. Big ups to both.
