had an absolutely amazing time at SXSW. been heading East since… very excited to be back out in these parts. played at JJ’s Bohemia in Chattanooga last night. so fun. spent the afternoon yesterday shooting live acoustic videos in an old abandoned YMCA. very curious to see how those turn out. shot in old empty pool. on a spanish style roof. in an old basketball gym. and running around playing through the halls. more on that soon.

in the meantime, you can read the full report on our SXSW experience that i sent to the Idaho Statesman here: Finn Riggins at SXSW 2010
