SXSW ‘All for Nots’ party at Club De Ville
The disjunction hung in the late afternoon warmth. There was Michael Eisner, former Disney head, representative of Old Hollywood, with a car and driver in full ready nearby, lounging, however, at Club De Ville, the funky chic Austin bar, pushing “The All for Nots,” a Web-only series about an aspiring rock band. Web only.
A couple of things fit the old paradigm: Eisner wanted control of the event. A VIP room with nobody inside. (Now that’s exclusivity.) No posed photos of him, except by the company’s paid photographer. This candid, however, seems to tell the visual story just as well.
The New York-based band, including Austinite Michael Moravek, looked fresh and sweet. Later, I swooped by to hear their pleasingly rich, varied sound. It’s Thom Woodley, Moravek, Erica Harsch, Brian Cheng, Vanessa Reseland, Kevin Johnston
The party was open to Film and Interactive partisans, so the mix turned lively as the party progressed. Adam Schiff, Jane Hu (with Eisner’s office), Jared Klett, Justin Day (both of blip.tv)
Ran into adorable Judy Maggio and her daughter, Carly Brown, both primed to enjoy the music part of the fest.
