So...Starting tonight I'm on vacation for the next 10 days. This is the longest I've taken off work since I went to England and Ireland 2 summers ago. This time I'm going to South By Southwest. I've spent way too much time over the last few weeks sifting through emails for parties and shows, trying to figure out what I'll be able to catch. My main goal is not to run around and see as many bands as I can. Quite the opposite. This is my vacation. I don't want to worry about what I'm missing and what I'll see. Instead, each day I've found a few parties that look fun that I'm gonna try and settle in at with some friends. I have no badge or wristband or anything, so obviously everything I've listed can be attended without any official SXSW credentials. While the schedule below looks busy, it's really about as chill as I could make it
Below I've got what I think stands out day to day, as well as an mp3 (provided by SXSW.com) or a link to their myspace page of each band I expect to see. Some parties are invite only, others are open to the public. I'm told, however, that once you're down there it shouldn't be too tough to get into something if you put in a little effort. And while I'm not going down till Wednesday morning, my vacation starts this afternoon, goddamnit, and the parties start on Monday right here in New York...

Property in Portugal. This is a beautiful new three-bedroomed villa set in a 3000 sq m plot that offers open space for relaxation and leisure and is only five minutes from beautiful sandy beaches. The three bedrooms are stylish and spacious with built-in wardrobes. The dining/living room is well laid out and spacious, has a beautiful fireplace and leads onto a terrace with barbecue and small private garden. The kitchen is fully equipped and large with lots of natural light. The guest bathroom is cleverly designed to make maximum use of space and light. The 3000 sq m shared garden includes a swimming pool and recreation area to be enjoyed all year round. In addition to the two floors, this property has the added attraction of a large carport. There is pre-installed air conditioning throughout for those who want to keep the temperature controlled at all times This is absolutely ideal as a rental investment property or, indeed, as a new or holiday home - villa in Albufeira...

Finally, there might be some good news for struggling Algarve property owners. Thousands of mortgage loans that were supposed to reset at a higher rate this spring won't be changing…

Nothing is able to fulfill, as long as confidence. Everything is difficult at the beginning, is now at the beginning of the show that you have succeeded in half.

So many of you discussed your love for vintage clothing in the comments section of my previous posts, which made me smile from ear to ear because I love history. I think it’s important to understand how fashion has evolved and why it has changed over the years. So I am going to go through the decades starting with the 1920s through 1990 and talk about what was popular in the world of fashion. We’re trying something new this week.
