SXSW Shenanigans

Highlights:

  • Got in free (thanks to our dear friend working the door) at the Billboard.com showcase to check out Asteroids Galaxy Tour.The lead singer had this baby doll, Lady Gaga thing going on, but the music was pretty good. (Let's hope we can score a free entry in again tonight for the Estelle show - I LOVE HER! She's also set to play the Perez Hilton party.)
  • Checking out the Muse show on the romantic grassy knoll outside of Stubb's. Two chics were making out in front of us.
  • Bumping into Bill Murray who was in quite a hurry to get somewhere. He looked really really lost. And old. He practically bumped into me actually. He might have grazed my ass.

Lowlights:

  • It all started with my first tweet: "At SXSW on Red River. Smells like piss and hipsters."
  • Dax had to use the restroom RIGHT before Muse came on so I missed part of the first song while we walked back to his office.
  • Aforementioned lesbians tried to climb the back limestone wall of Stubb's. One made it and everyone cheered but the other fell about three stories down, hit the ground then tumbled into the creek. It was freaking scary.
