Yeah, it's outdoor concert venue is kind of strange. They initially let you in the side gate beside the restaurant to get in, but you can still get into the back area by walking through the restaurant/bar. It's weird like that. Saw Imogen Heap there back in 2006. You have to stand up the entire time (no seating), but we enjoyed it a lot. Hey Eric,

Amen. “It was probably a quintessential SXSW day: some good movies, some raucous adventure, a party, and not nearly enough sleep.”

Amen.

Oh well. Keep 'em coming, Eric. Aw, I wanted to hear how the documentary about World of Warcraft was. Oh well. Keep ‘em coming, Eric.

That would have made it worth my money. I wish they had fired a confetti cannon during Titanic when DiCaprio’s character sinks lifelessly into the ocean. That would have made it worth my money.

With so much happening at the same time, that week and a half in Austin must be very, ahem, festive. Apparently the Film Festival has to "officially" end with an awards ceremony on Tuesday night to make way for the start of the Music Festival, even though the Film folks continue screening movies for several more days. Why defer to the musicians? Well, Austin is known more for music-making than film-making or interactive-making, and the Music Festival was instituted years before the other two events came along.

Shame on you. Admit it: in that mystery time between the apartment and the hotel room, the “unamusing” moments you refuse to discuss, you were actually messing with Texas.
