It is possible to go to Austin during South by Southwest and completely shut out what's going on around you. I can attest; I'm doing it right now.
Oh, tonight I'll probably venture out and catch a show. But not during the daytime! I have a book to write, and I'm gonna get that done during the day. I'll go see a show to cap the evening.
But skip the daytime shows, and you'll find Austin to be very relaxing. Just find a place where everybody hangs their hat at night. It'll be completely deserted during the daytime because everybody's out doing their thing, leaving you with a very comfortable and almost completely empty place to chill in near solitude.
I must also say that a friend and I caught some very interesting musical acts last night -- all for free. Parking lots made money, but musicians probably didn't.
Is that an incantation: 'I've a book to 'write'?!
ReplyDeleteIs that because you're lost in contemplation of the scenery, that you keep repeating to yourself: I've a book to write'?
Is that because you can feel your potential readers reminding you what you're supposed to do, that you keep repeating to yourself: 'I've a book to write'?
