I put "poop show" in the title of this post for two reasons: 1) I don't think we can say shit anymore, and 2) SXSW, for me at least, seems to always center around how much I have to crap my face off almost the minute I exit the plane.
I got into Austin last night after a flight that can be nicely summed up here:
Once out of the gate, I got in a cab, and went to my rented pool-side apartment, which I am sitting in now, in sweatpants, after waking up with a nasty hangover that will soon be remedied by tacos, and day drinking.
As far as music goes, even though I feel as though watching live music is about ten percent of the reason anyone comes to this circus, I saw a super impressive set last night by Dana Falconberry at Valhalla, and another one directly after hers by a band called The Blank Tapes. I liked Dana the best out of the two though, so I'm gonna share a video of hers with you because I think she's gonna really stand out during this week. Also she's a really fun conversationalist, and a good dancer, and my friend.
At some point, as will be the case for the rest of the week, I got drunk and for some reason kept telling everyone how Rihanna is going to have a secret show here this year. Is that even true? I hope that it is true.
Here's a picture of the leftovers from what I ate last night. Stay tuned for more barely music related music news from day two!
