SXSW- Saturday

On Saturday we went downtown about 4-ish. We parked at Whole Foods and walked to Butler Park and when we got there there were a lot of older R&B artists,that i never had heard of, doing covers of other songs. We knew that Snoop Dogg, or Snoop Lion whatever his name is this week, was supposed to be coming on sometime between 2:45-5 and apparently he hadnt come on yet when we got to the park. When he finally did come on he was with some other R&B guy and they did a song together, then he did one or two songs on his own. I realized that I dont actually understand why he's that big of an artist. It may have been because he wasnt actually doing a concert but he seemed to just be telling the crowd to say "Hell yeah" a lot. He didnt actually seem to do much. After that we went to P. Terry's to eat then headed back to the park to wait for Childish Gambino. Unlike for ACL shows there werent that many people there waiting for Gambino, which I thought was weird since it was free show. We got back about 6:00 and still got really close to the stage and had enough room to for all of us to sit in a circle to wait for the next group to start.  When the group started we stayed seated because there still werent enough people there for us to get trampled. During the show we realized they were pretty good so we stood up and listened for the rest. After that we waited for a hour for Gambino, He had a lot of lights going and a twitter feed projected on the back of the stage which was pretty hilarious. When he finally came on it was so fun. I had heard he wasnt that good live at ACL a few years back so i was excited when the first songs were so good. Also he can sing pretty well which I thought was cool so during the chorus and stuff like that he sang the parts himself. He ended up doing like 3 encores and the last one being a freestyle about Austin and SXSW. He also changed some lines in his songs to make it relate to SXSW which I thought was cool. In the end there were 20,000 people there, and i have never been that close to anyone in my life, but it was definitely worth it, since he did all of my favorite songs by him, even the old ones, such as Heartbeat, 3005, and Freaks and Geeks.
