The best thing about attending SXSW is that you never have to worry about finding free food. It’s almost everywhere and the best part about that is that it’s almost always accompanied by live music. I spent every afternoon in one house or another, taking in live music and enjoying delicious bites.

Combining Work and Play and Pouring Out My Pain with Post Malone at Firefly 2019
The performer that I most wanted to see and that I most enjoyed was Post Malone. I’m a huge fan of his music. I find him to be an extremely creative song writer and almost everything that I’ve ever heard from him I like. His song, “I Fall Apart” speaks volumes to me because when my ex and I broke up, I felt like I couldn’t breathe for a long time. When he performed it at Firefly, I was completely absorbed by the song. It was like everyone in the crowd was pouring out their pain into a massive vat of commiseration. Talk about a cathartic moment!
