SXSW Wrap Up

Holy shit.


THAT JUST HAPPENED!!!
I must bid adieu to the lovely bearded sxswoon.
So many beards, 1 sailorlegs mouth. 'nough said.

Glad to see so many people made it out alive.
And sad to see so many people made it out sick.
I count as one of those fools, so I'm on that cleansing schtick.

Mommas got some substance demons in her body and they need to be expelled from her system!!!

As most of you know, I was hanging out at The Rumbler Lounge pretty much all week. Seriously, free party, free tacos, free SLT, free soco, and a damn good line up each day.

My celebrity run ins included.

Saying excuse me to Danger Mouse because I needed to use the facilities.

Having Jakob Dylan ask us if we needed to see his id. 0_o

Having small talk with J.Cole [so cute]

Yelling out "ENTOURAGE" to Adrian Greinier [you can't take my ass anywhere!]

All in all, I had an amazing yet exhausting week.
And only got wasteyfaced 3 times.

Monday
Got to see little dragon again, and almost got in a fight with an unbrave MAN. [sorry mike :)]
Then jammed out to Bird Peterson at Beauty Bar

Tuesday
Scoot Inn for the Panache party.
Was super impressed by The Coathangers.
If I were to ever be in a band, they are definitely what I would want to sound like.
Then I was off to Beauty Bar for Art Disaster.
First time seeing Sunset and enjoyed their set. [not to mention they wore party rats!!! or something like them while playing]

Wednesday
The Rumbler Lounge at Peckerheads
Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt were fun. Think Dan Deacon but more melodic and more toys.
Dignan really grabbed my attention. vulnerability flooded the speakers and that's what gets me every time. Also that the lead vocal slightly resembled Tim Kasher.
Maps & Atlases were awesome, of course.
Then Gemini Club. As a gemini, I loved them already.
Then actually hearing them, DANCE PARTY CENTRAL!!
They are also doing a Knuckle Rumbler event in St Louis, MO April 3rd [scheck it out]
The Death Set were ridiculous as well. Loved it.
Ran around for a bit but met up with some #HTM at Malverde trying to wait it out for Sleigh Bells. Miserable. No food. Trying to keep my drinking down to a minimum. Back line was fucked. Took Suckers 45 minutes to sound check, thus pushing back the entire 4 bands left. So I said FUCK THIS PLACE and went home.

Thursday
Grand Ole Party at the Rumbler Lounge
I kept this one a bit low key because I had to work allll day. But at the Kr Lounge caught Zeale with his new set up. Nice live tracks. Homeboy Sandman, and Fashawn. But I heard Yelawolf, Wiz Khalifa, Pac Div and J cole set the place off!!
Then headed to Beerland for the SJ event. Saw a couple bands that were seeew angry, they couldn't stop screaming into the mic. #notmystyle
Once that was done I ran over the Fader for the Converse party to catch the ONE act I was dying to see:
Mayer Hawthorne and the County.
All of these fellas swooned and crooned me with their mo-town rhythm and blues stylings.
My life was compelte and I could die. But instead I got a little drunk with my friends to Passion Pit Djing and Pains of being Pure at Heart as background fun.
Then called it a night.

Friiiday
Pumps and a Bump with our hosts My Old Kentucky Blog!
This days line up was insane.
Beach Fossils were great, FINALLY got to see Lemonade who were awesome, The Diplomats of sound, Holy Fuck was insane. Andy D hilarious. Hollywood Holt and his shenanigans were great. And of course, ending it off with The Hood Internet and the Glitch Mob. #youshouldknowallofthisbynow
then I ran off the Austin Carniville [which was GENIUS btw] and ran a muck while listening to Hudson Mohawke. Sad Rusko didn't make it out in time. Hoping for A.Blank to be a suprise fill in. But I'm always hoping for her to show up.
Then it was off to the Green Label Sound party where Neon Indian soundtracking my drunk ass shenanigans.....and those mountain dew drinks....jesus christ. never. again.
"what it deew?"
What it DONT BLITCH!

Saturday
It was rough. Momma was in pain from her ill choiced drinks the night before. But still made it out to catch Dam-Funk, Dominique Young Unique, and Lions [who woke my ass up] all at the Rumbler Lounge.
I heard amazing things though about Casxio [check out Austin Eavesdropper for more], Woodhands, Beats Antique, and of course Rye Rye and Cool Kids.
But my ass had to be at Mess With Texas for some Sailor Jerry schwag slaying.
Caught a glimpse of GWAR because momma didn't want fake blood on her. But I was able to catch The Soft Pack, Japandroids, and Neon Indian again.
Then I went home to get waarrrrm with some wine and snug on my couch.

Sunday
Ended the weekssss with brunch with the Sailor Jerry crew at Juan in a Millions
then popped over to Shang for free beer for the locals!! [about time] and some amazing bloody marys.
Then off to a crawfish broil. So good but overly spiced, I think.
Then the scoot inn for Mike Relm!!
He's a bad ass. NGL

Now I'm over SXSW and onto COACHELLA!!!! 21 days!!!!

But I just wanted to check in with you guys so you knew I did survive!!
