Things To Do This Week.

Shove It.

After chaos-filled weekends like this past one — where the insanity of SXSW once again proved too much for Austin to contain, and many of its bands and festivities spilled over to North Texas — a little peace and quiet can be nice. For a second, anyway.

I mean, not every minute of every day has to be filled wire to wire with action. A lesson can be learned from famous logos like the Milwaukee Brewers' or FedEx's, where negative space plays, perhaps, the most significant role.

On the other hand, once you're finally ready to start filling some of that negative space back in, there's plenty of ways to do that this week, too.
