Texas: April Show(er)s
According to Wikipedia (That's you!), the origin of the name Aprils is uncertain. It might stem from the Latin, aperire, meaning "to open." And This is supposedly in reference to the fourth month being the time of year when the weather takes a serious turn for the better, plants start their return to green and flowers start to bloom. The temperature in the Valley had already hit the mid 90's a handful of times in March, and the bluebonnets are even now decorating the edges of the highways.
There is no SXSW hangover mode. Like the weather, the concert season in Texas is starting to heat up (or at least increase in size.)
