Blend or Bust A huge thanks to all who made Blend or Bust a blast! Fortunately for all involved, the party featured free Dos Lunes Tequila, Treaty Oak Texas Rum, and Bud-Light. The party required some serious pacing for the people who planned to make it through the night. (the party started at around 1PM) [...]

SXSW10 Friday Recap (Mothers Anthem and the Vetts)
March 22, 2010 – 4:33 am
Our Night began at Pure Nightclub to watch Austin’s own Mother’s Anthem and The Vetts of New Orleans. The Vetts opened with a well performed show that got the audience moving to their unique brand of grunge indy pop. Not only does their music lend itself to a great live rock show, but is versatile [...]
My last SXSW event, and may I say the BEST one!
March 21, 2010 – 9:48 pm
My last SX experience with the awesome SB staff and one of my favorite bands Suite 709. Free drinks served by my brother the bartender and licking Chad’s head. What a day.
SXSW Wednesday @ Levi’s Faderfort
March 19, 2010 – 6:57 pm
“Strong Will Continue” Last night, faderfort’s crowd collectively yelled “out on the streets, they call it murrrrddeeeeerrrr!!!!!” as Nas and Damien Marley make a notch in the SXSW10 books as the first suprise show. I hope this isn’t the best show I get to see, but it probably will be unless I can weasel my [...]

March 17, 2010 – 3:50 pm
Yes Zynga… It was truly an awesome event I arrived at the pre-actual fader fort, fader fort party, on recommendation from friends alone and will be forever grateful for their advice. First off, the freebies were flowing at this party in the form of alcohol (first and foremost), shirts, koozies, and guitar accessories. Bill Bowman [...]

March 16, 2010 – 9:22 pm
Just in case it was needed, last night was the proof that SXSW was made for cheap people. May I say before I give you the recap of the night, that I did not spend a penny. I love this city. The Do512/ Demand Media/ Clear mobile internet party My marathon night began at Phoenix [...]
Low Budget SX goers have no fear
March 15, 2010 – 3:39 pm
Poor and pouty for SXSW, dry your eye’s sissy. There are plenty of ways to have a great time at SXSW without having a badge for any of the festivals. For the past 3 years I have never been so drunk for so little money at any other place free SX shows and even some [...]
Upcoming Spring Break and Today’s Lazy Lunch.
March 10, 2010 – 1:15 am
My laziness was no match for today’s beautiful weather so we came to an arrangement of a sweet picnic and all I had to do was lay on a blanket and soak up the sun while munching on my fav spring lunch.
Broccoli Salad and Lemonade, must have for upcoming Spring!
March 5, 2010 – 11:43 pm
The weather lately is one big influence to make my fav broccoli and bacon salad with a big-ass glass of homemade lemonade. I don’t roll with the powered nonsense. Read up and enjoy a whole new idea on snacks.
Why is there a plane in that building?
February 23, 2010 – 12:00 pm
Only in America will a private plane owner ram his plane into an office building in protest of capitalism. I’m obviously talking about Joe Stack, a retired engineer who kept Austin weird last Thursday by flying his single engine plane into the Echelon building. Turns out his 200 mph adventure into the flaming wall of [...]
