The most notable takeaway from Wednesday’s second public meeting by the city’s Austin Center for Events (ACE) staff, which presented results of the citizen feedback survey taking stock “on all events related to” the 2014 SXSW Film, Interactive, and Music Festival, was that four of the six panelists didn’t find any conclusions deemed noteworthy.

Austin Psych Fest Live (Sunday): Think No Think

Why the Levitation Tent ran 15-20 minutes early all weekend at Psych Fest remains anyone’s guess. Three stages otherwise perfectly pyramided time-wise were thus out of phase.

Austin Psych Fest Live (Saturday): Bombino

Nomad is also a noun representing an individual who can’t seem to stay in one place. It’s a fitting LP title for Bombino, the Tuareg guitarist who swept out of the Sahara Desert three years ago and somehow wound up this weekend inside a dust bowl in Southeast Austin.
