REST UP: YOU HAVE ANOTHER FESTIVAL TO ATTEND

Oh dearest March. Your weather is as beautiful as a Spring Break bar tab; you are the month when southern Oaks shed their leaves; and you are the month in which we are given music upon music upon music. Tis true, this month, not only will Noise and Smoke and SXSW be making major guest appearances in your Live Journal, but you've still got The Free Press' Westheimer Block Party to go. Yes, with no fewer than seven separate spaces to be entertained Saturday starting at noon, you'll need to think long and hard about perhaps not going and checking out Widespread Panic Friday night afterall.
