30 days of shows w/ 65 year old Robert Christgau
"In the 65th year of my life on this planet, I went out to see live music every night (or day) of June. The main reason I conceived this project, which many considered nuts, was that I wasn't liking enough new guitar bands. So my professional purpose was to encounter young musicians in their natural habitat. But since the idea of going out is to have fun, I wasn't rigid about this. In 30 days I caught all or most of 52 acts and bits of nine others. To start, here are a few things that happened in New York in June—not always the best, but worth remembering...." [Village Voice]

Wow. When I'm 65, I want to be cool like Robert Christau.

So on the edge he is. Most of us catch over 50 acts in 4 days during SXSW.
