You don't know what you'll be listening to next week, but they do

This past Thursday we followed Dániel Perlaky over to Sean O'Neil's office at The Onion, where much was discussed about the usual topics: indie bands, the challenges of Austin living/working, changing landscapes both music and industry-wise etc.

Once again I'm amazed at how interconnected this city is. There hasn't been a single person we've spoken to, who doesn't have ties to at least five others.

In the meantime, we've met with Bryan Keplesky from Misprint about animating some of his work for the film, have interviews lined up with representatives from SIMS (counseling services for musicians) and HAAM (Health Alliance for Austin Musicians), an interview coming up with Austin real estate developer Perry Lorenz, and an amazing cityscape shoot from atop the Austonian (one of the new condo buildings in progress). I would also like to point out, that the previous sentence is not a run-on, and technically grammatically correct. Also: Perry Lorenz will be doing the interview at the Spring condo building which is under construction, so we get to wear hard hats and everything.

While these shoots are less oriented towards the live music end of things, they should be a pretty fascinating insight into the various cogs and gears of the various elements of this town.

Hey, I don't think I know you, but I came here via Rebecca Reser's Facebook page. This is pretty random, but please tell Nathan that "Sarah with the yellow hair" says hello. If he can remember back to circa age 4, he'll know what you're talking about :o)

Also, this looks like an awesome project. I'm subscribing to your blog and look forward to more posts (especially because it helps with the urge to see more of Austin while my husband and I are living overseas)!
