A Sigh of Relief

Now that SXSW 2007 is a memory and I'm back in Washington, I'm just relieved that no national tragedy broke out in Austin, necessitating my having to post heartsick missives to NPR as one of its only two correspondents on the scene. With my scant live radio experience, I would have probably wound up wailing, "Oh, the humanity!" or "IT WAS A BABY!" and everyone would have found me amateurish and improper and derivative. After all, everyone's a critic these days.
