south by south MISSIN YOUSSS

hey y'all from TEXAS! rosie, selens and i have been enjoying the music festival SXSW (south by southwest) here in austin for the past couple of days and it's been complete craziness - in a good way, of course! we have lotsa stories and made tons of fun memories, some maybe involving selena vomiting out the car window?! (but still managing to give me driving directions in between hurls!) don't worry, we have pictures AND video! we came, we saw a trillion bands, we conquered.

other activities included: hipster-watching, eating from fancy food trucks (or "trailers" as the austin-ites like to call them), biking in dresses, marveling at selena's hipster outfits and hipster friends, trying to understand the complex inner workings of selena's social circles, eating chips and salsa at every meal, trying to understand the need for ridiculous hipster facial hair, bumping into celebrities (conan obrien and michael cera are on our list!), and more!

austin, you're pretty awesome. we love you!

chapman folks, you're super awesome and we wish you had been here to party with us!

anyhow, i head back to miami tomorrow and then i'm roadtripping back to new england the first week of april. we're trying to organize a little reunion in or around amherst the weekend of april 9-10 so i hope lotsa y'all can join us (and help me move into my barn!). also, i'm planning on being in nyc and boston in the days before that weekend, and i think i'm going to catch a production of Rent (the musical) at BU that rosie choreographed the dancing for on friday the 8th. also, megan's bday is april 7th = more reason for reunion that weekend?!

hearts, carmella
