The old man in the sea of kids
Charles Attal was right. The C3 Presents booker had chided me about how I was gettin’ too old to party with the big boys and I assured him that I would come to his annual afterhours party Thursday (which I’ve tagged “the Friday Killer”) at an empty warehouse on 3rd St. two blocks from the Convention Center. With Lightspeed Champion and the Heavy added to headliners Moby and Justice this bash, co-hosted by Playboy magazine, looked to be a blowout. And it was downtown, not way out in East Austin, so there was no excuse.
But I just couldn’t do it. I was dog tired at 10 p.m. from lugging my laptop all over town, so I called it an early night. Go ahead and laugh, C.A., but I’m well-rested today.
What’s on the agenda today? I’ve got the Spin party at Stubb’s, the Mercury party at the Parish, where Duffy makes her U.S. debut, then there’s the Village Voice party at La Zona Rosa, where Trail of Dead are gonna tear it up and then Billy Bragg at Club 515. And that’s all before 6 p.m.
