The Austin adventure begins!

Posted on 8:51 AM

Monday morning, our K crew took off down I-35 towards Texas for the South By Southwest Music Festival. We had no plans to stop, aside from gas station breaks and the occasional meal. A hefty goal, but the seven of us were determined to truck through the U.S.

Clearly, we had a BLAST. Thank goodness for Scrabble snacks.

Iowa? Kansas? Oklahoma? No offense, but they all looked the same to us. Sigh.

Some of us often accidentally napped. Good thing we were super cozy in our minivan!

Muuuuch better.

Rock and Roll Over host Alex, in an effort to perfect his southern accent, recited lines from A Streetcar Named Desire. The usual. Care to hear the silliness ensue? 'Course ya do:

We took a tip on Arthur Bryant's for dinner in Kansas City.

It was all you could ever dream of. If you dream of being assaulted by meat.

Buck O'Neil, first basemen from the Kansas City Monarchs, watched over us as we recovered.

How welcoming.

Our trip was grueling, but we're so excited to be here. Today we plan to visit our friends at WOXY and explore our surroundings a bit. Be sure to check back for the next chapter in our travels together! -The SXSW K Team
