SXSW scene: Veggies and R.E.M.
If you see a bald, skinny, charismatic fellow (vocalist Michael Stipe), a gentleman with glasses clad in a flamboyant suit (bassist Mike Mills) and/or a lanky, shaggy-looking guitar player-type (guitarist Peter Buck) at Mother’s Restaurant, Casa de Luz, Whole Foods Market, Mr. Natural or Aster’s Ethiopian Restaurant during the next couple of days, you are very likely dining with the Athens, Ga., rock stars, R.E.M. A source confirmed that a list of these well-reputed Austin vegetarian restaurants was complied by SXSW for R.E.M. on Wednesday.
Update: Writer Patrick Beach reports that sources say Michael Stipe had a late-night dinner Tuesday at Wink before Peter Buck sat in with the Silos at the Hole in the Wall. Check with us for R.E.M. gastronomical updates!
