 Made it to Tejas in one piece. It's nice and sunny. Hell, it's supposed to be 92 degrees tomorrow. Damb.

SXSW Day One:

I'm sunburnt, dehydrated, and mostly deaf (forgot my earplugs), but having a hell of a time. We played at some shit-ass frat boy bar that they converted into a venue for the festival. There was a video loop of people surfing and  doing 'extreme' sports being projected on the wall right next to me the whole time. We played well. all things considered (first act of the night, borrowed equipment, bad sound mix, nerves in general). There were lots of people there, from what I could tell.

I've seen some good acts tonight - Saint Bernadette, Graveyard, the Ting Tings (who took waaaaay too long to set up), and The Sword performing Faith No More's The Real Thing in its entirety. And I got to meet Nic Harcourt. Briefly.

Shit - I've got a full week of this to do. Zoinks.
