sxsw film and interactive
spring break means sxsw for us, and this year has started early. we typically skip the film and interactive portion of the week, but my friend christopher is involved in the louisiana film industry so he used that as an excuse to come early. we hit the ground running on saturday, after he paid some people to walk around downtown holding his signs promoting one of his businesses. we had better stuff to do.
micro brew wheat beer at uncle billy's
I'd read so much about giggling goat, was hoping it would be as good as odd duck trailer. it was good... maybe I was a bit put off by the fact that there is NO restroom near ( the trailer park eatery at odd duck does) cmoore showing you the fried sweet breads.
as luck would have it, we found our way into a sxsw party at highball
party was hosted by fandango and alamo draft house
they had live band karaoke. ipad was one of the prizes but I guess I'd not had enough liquid courage to get up there.
highball is just gorgeous. bowling, private karaoke rooms, live music stage, a restaurant and a bar... why ever leave?
cmoore and I made some new friends. they had a table with a great location and a cheese tray! also, next to the photo booth by annie ray. annie was a bit concerned when we started to help ourselves to her props and to take 50 or so silly pics on our own cameras. she tried to keep working her pics and keeping a skeptical eye on us.
uh.... something tells me there might be pics of us out there somewhere. I'm sure they'll never make it onto the internet.
annie ray had enough, she regrouped and shuttled our shenanigans into her space and took control (so I took a pic of her taking a pic of us, click here to see the flipside of the pic below)
when annie applied mustaches to cmoore's nipples I slowly backed out of the shot in a rare expression of caution. see annie's version here
