SXSW 18: Locals Only Party at Star Bar
Overheard on the deck of Star Bar: “This is the cool kids’ party.” Indeed, it felt that way. While the visiting throngs headed to the Gowalla party at the Belmont, Thrillist party at Stubb’s, or always thrilling Plutopia at the MACC, a few dozen entertainment-oriented Austinites relaxed over delicious drinks at the annual Locals Only Party, thrown in part by Giant Noise.
David Kittredge and Ginger Roddick
Right away, I ran into Ginger Roddick, former publicist for brother-in-law Andy Roddick. She’s now living in Norman, Okla., where her husband, John Roddick, is head of men’s tennis at the University of Oklahoma. She confirmed that Andy’s bride, Brooklyn Decker, is very grounded and just the right gal for the tennis ace’s future.
Taylor Choi and Lyle Jackson
Any number of journalists, promoters, publicists, administrators, activists, networkers and creatives continued to mingle in the blank-ish spot between SXSW Interactive and Film and the subsequent SXSW Music. Rumors raced through the synod. All agreed that the festival’s younger siblings were showing Music how it’s done this year.
