Headed downtown for the last day of the South by Southwest Music Conference & Festival.

The last official day is Sunday with a few night time shows but for most people Saturday is the last day of the festival.

With a cold front that moved in overnight the temperature has dropped and the cloudy skies, todays crowd was not as large as the huge crowd on Friday.

Yet another day full of music and walking.

As SXSW has grown it has spread out virtually all over town, making for some long walks (unless you catch the bike cabs) from venue to venue. The day played out much like yesterday, bouncing around to some of the day parties, the highlight being filter magazine’s party.

Alex Chilton died in New Orleans a few days ago. He was from Memphis, which spreads all the way down to New Orleans for musicians. And we all know that New Orleans is a jealous mistress. So New Orleans it was for LX.

He would have been playing at South by Southwest in Austin this week, but never left New Orleans.

Made it downtown by noon and stopped at the "Only In Louisiana" Party sponsored by the state of Louisiana.

I'm flying somewhere over Memphis right now, taking advantage of a wireless connection on a flight to Virginia. As plenty of you already know, Alex Chilton, a musician whose "quiet as thunder" impact on the rock and indie music scene is beyond measure, passed away yesterday at the age of 59.

One thing to realize when you go to sxsw....you are going to miss something. the shear number of bands in town and playing numerous gigs is staggering. Each day is full of sponsored day parties (free w/ rsvp) virtually all over town, featuring bands all day (everybody gets about 45min. to hour sets). As day turns to night sxsw takes over about 78 clubs/venues.
