Day 5 - Austin - Last Day of SXSW

Today was a bit more of a laid back day. It was the end of a long week and our last full day in Austin. We started things off with some food at our last usual South Congress spot - Doc's. It's a great mostly outdoor bar/restaurant, that used to be an old garage.



After that we headed to Jovita's... a little Mexican Restaurant that is also a great spot for live music with a big indoor stage and a great outdoor area (perfect for 5 month olds to hang out at).

Greta is sporting her Bloodshot onsie and basking in the sun... well, the shade at least.



We saw a ton of great bands. The show was put on by a radio station from St. Louis that every summer has an event called Twangfest, and so this was the SXSW Twangfest showcase. Bands included another set by the Waco Brothers, Chuck Prophet, Tommy Womack, and Melanie's new favorite Sarah Borges.




Another highlight of the show was the headline by Cincinnati's own Wussy. Was great to see a nice crowd there and lots of people buying t-shirts and CDs...

We wrapped up the day with another trip to Whole Foods for dinner, and then back to the hotel.
