Music and sports are two of the most unifying and emotional forces around. Without much effort, both create an intensity every other industry craves. Put those two forces together, united with the same goal and the result is epic. The weeklong SxSWi conference, which ended last week in Austin, was devoted to innovators from every […]
Right, wrong or indifferent, the Houston Astros have long been a team that pride themselves on being a hometown team. It’s because of that Texas flair and sense of entitlement we’ve all become accustomed to and our loyalty extends almost to a fault. It’s that unprecedented pride we feel about our barbeque, our cowboy boots […]
