New Frontiers Explore SXSW's Sounds, Smells
I don't even feel like writing this. It's 3:53 AM in Austin and I'm fighting off my second hangover of the day. Started the day in traffic. South by Southwest is like some crazy third-world country farmers market. Take away the women carrying jugs of water on their heads, the snake-charmers and the camels, and replace them with hipsters, every band ever and industry bigwigs. Smells exactly the same. Just as loud and confusing.
I think we parked in San Antonio. That's how far from the Thirsty Nickel we had to leave our van and trailer. The day was full of free beer, free vodka, free whiskey and more free beer. That and some shirts and stuff.
Our show wasn't until 1 AM. We played last and we played loud. Good to see a bunch of our friends and play our first official SXSW showcase. Tomorrow promises to be even busier with two day shows. Must ... sleep.
