I do not think the word "fortitude" means what you think it means in this case. Perhaps "multitude" is the word you were looking for? How is the lead singer from Ume "auspicious"? What is a "schism of psych-rock"? You may have been attending White Denim's shows, but you could not have merely been "carousing" them. Maybe you were "carousing AT" them? I love reading blogs and I love seeing new folks trying their hands at writing, particularly when those folks are helping promote some local talent. What I don't understand is how stuff that makes no sense frequently gets onto Austinist. I'd love to see places like the Austinist supersede the attempts at journalism published in the Chronicle, etc -- but for that to happen, the editors really need to help the writers elevate the game.</p>
