SXSW Scene: The heat
With the temperature soaring into the 90s, the buzz words today are shade and water. After a long night of partying, there is quite the Night of the Living Dead feel among party hipsters whose fair night-club enhanced complexions have taken a beating these past 24 hours. But this is definitely no teetotaling crowd, as can be attested to by the steady lines for free booze at day parties along Sixth Street and Red River.
A note to our partying brethren: Don’t wait, hydrate. Maybe the hot temps will discourage some of the hundreds from New York who may have been considering relocating to Austin. Though if we really want to discourage that trend, maybe we should hold SXSW in July.

Thanks Odam for making me laugh and not feeling bad about being sick and missing all the great music plus all 17 of Yo La Tengo’s performances over the past week. So I missed on the music this year! At least my soul isn’t as tattered as it has been the last few years. You can only watch so many hipsters fall face first on the ground b/c their pants are too tight around the ankles before you just wanna scream “Why?”
p.s It’s good you left F & J. Obviously your witty humor and satire are of better use in the media than at a major law firm. Hoodz’ up yo!
