SXSW Lite

Just got back from a great couple of days in San Diego with Walter at something called Street Scene. It's a multi-platform concert event held every year in San Diego with bands from different genres but mostly Alt Rock.
On Friday night, we saw The Blackeyed Peas (nothing special), Social Distortion (great), White Stripes (interesting but not my cup of tea), and The Killers (fun - I think the lead singer stole one of my Miami Vice jackets from the 80's).
On Saturday night, we saw The Flaming Lips (kind of cacophonous but great stage presentation), Unwritten Law (twentysomethings doing white rap rock), 311 (thirtysomethings doing white rap rock), Snoop Dogg (didn't understand a word he was saying), and The Pixies (great sound - Walter's favorite of the whole event).
For some reason, this is the fourth time I've seen Walter in the last five months. People are going to start to talk if we're not careful.
