The Frog Design Saturday night South by Southwest party was supposed to be off the chain. Grupo Fantasma would be playing, it would be at the Mexican American Cultural Center and there were going to be fire dancers.
How were we to know it would not only be off the chain, it would also be off the entire hook and even off the sheezie?
The party was completely packed. We could hear the music all the way in the Statesman parking lot across the lake. There was free green beer and ice cream (check out ourStatesman A-List photos). Fire dancing. Lots of music. It might go down as the party of the fest (if the Monday Facebook party disappoints).

Fire dancers were the Sangre del Sol fire troupe (sangredelsol.info) - voted best of 2008 by the Austin Chronicle. Hope you enjoyed!
