Moving on to margin and inventory; gross margin in the fourth quarter was in line with our expectations, and increased 1 basis point over the prior year. For the fiscal year, our gross margin improved 32 basis points. Fourth quarter margin reflects increased mix headwinds from strengths in categories such as electronics and toys, a higher penetration of digital sales during the holiday period, and a continued shift to national brands.

Pop-up stores sponsored by Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, AT&T, Levi’s, and CNN appeared on vacant lots, in empty storefronts, and in leased restaurants. The global brands showcased their newest products to their target audience’s tastemakers, who had conveniently appeared from all over the world specifically to sample the latest in music, media, film, technology, and culture.

My bag and I have been round the world many times. We’ve seen and experienced amazing things but none stranger than when we flew to Adelaide from Sydney. Flight QF783 landed in Adelaide on Thursday night, November 10, but the bag didn’t arrive at the luggage carousel. The lady at the baggage office tapped at her terminal and then said: "Oh my God, it’s lost."

Willie Nelson planted roots in Austin after his house outside of Nashville had burned down. People were still leaving for various reasons, but just as many were filtering in.

Top-grain leather, meanwhile, has the split layer separated, making it thinner and more pliable than full-grain variants. But because its surface has been sanded and finished, the material has a colder plastic-like feel. It also does not develop a natural patina. Top-grain leather is less expensive yet withstands stains better than full-grain versions.

Austin is a lot more than just the annual stampede of South By Southwest currently enveloping it, which the event has done with ever-increasing intensity since 1987. But how did this city, one that has such an ineffable but palpable personality and spirit, become what it is — for better and worse? Joe Nick Patoski’s recent book, Austin to ATX: The Hippies, Pickers, Slackers & Geeks Who Transformed the Capital of Texas, answers the question both empirically and spiritually, tracing the many people and the many places they built along the way towards establishing this weird, idiosyncratic, flat little planet. Patoski’s book covers a lot of dusty ground — too much for a simple excerpt.

Over the years, as the festival has grown, so too has the proliferation of different wristbands designating both who you are (audience, artist, media, crew, etc.) and where you’re allowed to go. There are now dozens of wristbands at Coachella in a rainbow of colors, many with an RFID chip that must be scanned before you can enter the festival and/or certain restricted areas.

I have had my bags miss my flight a couple of times when I have had a stopover in Sydney, once on Virgin and once on Qantas. On both occasions the bag caught up to me on the next possible flight and was couriered straight to wherever I was. Yeah, it’s a pain but you can’t expect the airline to do much more. The experience in this article is unusual. The advice on the article to have a photo of your bags is good, saves a lot of time.
