SXSW 2013 — Overdue update!!

It’s been over a year since I last updated this blog and a lot has happened in that years time. I’ve been on the road a lot the past year and have hit up some gigs between Austin, San Antonio, Palm Springs, Chicago, New York, Berlin, Moscow, St Petersburg, Zagreb, Ljubljana, Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, and more. As you can see I’ve been real busy, between touring and working on a full-fledged website, updating this blog has taken the back burner. Anyway, just wanted to post up some SXSW info for all of you who might be checking this page… you can also check my facebook for more info at: facebook.com/expothedj
