Based on the SXSW stage and Redbuds in bloom, I'd wager it was just about this time of year.

The only thing that tipped me off was the greenery on the balconies. Hopefully we will see that on the real thing one day.

Yeah man, I didn't notice the greenery neither before y'all pointed out. I wonder if they'll actually have those.

Now that's an awesome backdrop. I don't know if I would be focused on what's happening on the stage or behind it. Probably both...

I love that shot. I can finally see the scope of the height of 6X.
