For the fifth year in a row HowWasTheShow.com again provides coverage of the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX with an independent local angle. In past years Kate Galloway, Mark Mallman, Steve Cohen and Neil Olstad have all contributed famously to our extensive personalized coverage.  This year, HowWasTheShow Photo Editor Stacy Schwartz heads  south to host a series of "almost live" audio blogs (blogcasts, if you will) that will feature commentary and interviews throughout the week.

Experience SXSW vicariously with us as Stacy strolls the streets of Austin, trolls through the music venues and "phones it in."

Keep an eye on http://howwastheshow.blogspot.com for episodic updates that go live minutes after being recorded pretty much 24/7.

Final Update: The whole ball of wax is now available to stream and download.  Listen to all 16 HowWasTheShow SXSW blogcast reports a single link. (app 35 minutes.)
