sxsw music day one, mother falcon for the win

first day of sxsw music 2011 and we caught a day show at the skanky possum. mother falcon issued another great set. lots of fun and energy. love these people!



that thing in the middle is a bassoon (the instrument, not the hairy dude). makes music, not a smoking device. we learned something.


they sort of remind me of edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros, except they have more than one good song and smell better too.



we left the skanky possum location on the east side to head downtown. we had to track down cmoore's promotional girl he'd hired to promote his Louisiana Film Magazine. we figured it was easier on us to hire somebody to do the actual work for us, the plan seemed to have worked! thank you promotional girl, and thank you skanky possum and the mother falcon.

saint arnold's brewery was hosting a party at the gingerman. bands played on the back patio, we found stools at the bar. good enough.

they gave us pint koozys!

that microbrew made us thirsty so we went to la condesa for happy hour.

she was so good to us, took our empty glasses and made them whole again. pure magic!


#2 son finished the blue popcorn last night. this morning he gave us a green saint pattrick's day surprise.
