We played outside of Tyler’s on Sunday in Austin. We thought about playing a loud electric show, but our newly tested acoustic set seemed more apt for the sidewalk venue. This was probably our first outdoor show… ever! We had such a good time doing it that we can’t wait to play out next outdoor show. We also really enjoyed playing our acoustic set again, it is growing on us the way mold grows in our van. We even made a fan!

After our early afternoon set we went for a little ride in the Jansport van. The backseat was awesome and it had an open roof top (like a sun roof kinda). Scott drove us around Austin and we gave shirts and CDs to whoever wanted them and even those that didn’t want them.

The end of our ride in the van spectacle also marked the end of SXSW 09 for The Dashing Suns. Tomorrow we roll back across deserts, mountains and miles of asphalt to Oakland, CA.
