what i learned at sxsw - day 2

1. little radio bloody mary party is real -
we arrived before the doors even opened. a line quickly formed outside so dan, vanessa, brian and i hopped in. we were served two drinks at a time. amazing for something that is free. the weather has been beautiful the last couple of days. not too hot and barely working a sweat.

2. daniel johnston at paste magazine party -
this dude is crazy. we all saw the devil and daniel johnston. he was running late for his set because he was playing a show for kexp(?). either way it was great. although i don't know his music well i enjoyed the goofy singer songwriter lyrics. apparently he has a backing band now and the consensus is that they are a bit unnecessary. too strong and drown him out.


3. dont order the "family meal" at the salt lick -
it's too much food! we were so happy to take dan and vanessa on their first salt lick meal. food coma set in instantly. but damn its good.


4. east austin is very similiar to the shadiest parts of the central district -
so sketch. we really wanted to check out the crystal stilts and vivian girls at a night show but when we all drove down to the eastside after 11pm we wondered what the hell we were doing, what all the people on the corner were doing, and if they were out to have a "honest, goodtime". we voted and the answer was get the h out of there. so we did and got beers at a bar on south congress instead.

good day all in all and we had way more energy than the day before. here's to friday!
