SXSW Thursday 14th 2013 SPIN HOUSE at Easy Tiger and The Thermals
after about 4 hours of sleep, we jumped up and rushed out to the SPIN HOUSE party at Easy Tiger. I was really hungry and I was hoping for some food. I found it was on the other side of a security guard and a big red velvet rope. I walked up and said "I'm looking for the food, I'm hungry!"
she smiled, unhooked the rope. I motioned for my friend to follow. I scooped up a plate of the extra delicious easy tiger bratwurst and found a comfy space in the center of the wall.
we soon realized that lots of people were trying to get across the red velvet rope, but did not have the black VIP wristband... and of course we did not either. I have no sxsw badge, no sxsw wristband... but I was hungry and there I was, enjoying my VIP bratwurst. my sxsw partner looked over at me and asked "we are in the VIP area again, how does this keep happening?!"
the room filled up. many photographers, a few of them took our pics. easy tiger staff (delilah and friends) took real good care of us. if we wanted something, they'd go get it for us. we were livin' like kings. it was also my birthday so I soaked it all up. and by soaked it up, I mean that we rehydrated ourselves with several crispin cider, along with daytime decongestant and 5 hour energy (turned out to be a powerful combo as I was soon feelin' REALLY GOOD).
The Thermals really rocked that party. that's how you do it!
thank you Crispin Cider, thank you SPIN magazine and Easy Tiger and everybody that treated us so well.
later, I asked one of the many photographers why they were crowding us and taking pics. turns out we were sitting next to fitz and the tantrums
we stopped in for a (free) beer at swan dive and the quebec canada showcase. I didn't take note of who, it was the right time to go home and recharge. we still had three more days (I also had plans for sunday even though sxsw officially ends saturday)
