Found a beautiful piece on my former classmate Annelyse Gelman's blog, thought I'd link it here

Missing Austin HARD right now

Hey there Internet,
I thought I'd give it a go and link to Tribeza, a fairly new Austin magazine. I've been pretty into what they've been publishing, they give a little bit of attention to Austin's awesome POC in arts and music, which is pretty unprecedented. Seeing as SXSW is coming up and I'm stuck in the PNW, I thought I could play pretend and post a bit about the shows and workshops I wish I could attend. Thank goodness its a well documented event and I can oogle from afar.
