Happy Birthday Satchmo!

Here we come Texas.

It's that time again! Time for the High Bias crew to hit Austin and destroy mad breakfast tacos and bbq. This year half our crew will be attending SXSW and tweeting their adventures live throughout the fest. Follow Dr. Danny Exum: @dannyancient and Capt. Toddrick Spalding: @totalrecordnerd for play by play of all that happens in the land of Lone Stars and bicycle taxis.

Here we come Texas.
