I WAS AT SXSW!

Posted in Live Shows, Party, SXSW on March 17th, 2008 by Ultragrrrl

Typically, when someone goes to SXSW, it’s a 5-3 day adventure of drunkeness, loud music, lines, guestlists, VIPs, and mayhem.

Last year when I went to SXSW, I managed to climb on stage during the Horrors set and get hurled off by the lead singer. I walked away with a concussion that lasted about 5 days. That was AFTER he had dumped a bucket of garbage onto a crowd at the Stolen Transmission showcase the night before, and me and my friend Rob Stevenson some how manage to land in it the center of it.

I’m At SXSW!!!!!

Posted in SXSW on March 13th, 2008 by Ultragrrrl

I landed at around Midnight and found my friend Peter Gaston from SPIN.com in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel who was nice enough to put me up in his room. I’ve been telling people that I’m his mail-order bride from Russia.

Right now we’re in the SPIN/MySpace tent (”A place for music”) waiting for a bunch of bands to show up for some book club that Emily Zemler is organizing. So far it’s just Colin from Circa Survive. We’re trying to hook up a computer to a TV monitor so we can watch LOST.

 I feel totally cracked out right now. I’ve had like 4 hours sleep in the past few days. The other night I went to my friend Mikey Way’s new house in Jersey and spent the night in his guest room with my dog. I couldnt sleep too well (i think i slept for an hour), and then headed back into the city at 8am with my friend Matt Smith, his roommate. Then I proceeded to work, write, and clean my apt til 4:30am. Then I woke up at 11am to take my dog and cat to my brother’s apt so he can baby sit them while my boyfriend and I are out of town (he’s on tour). Then… I went to lunch with Brad Walsh and the dude who writes my new favorite blog, Dlisted.com. Then… I packed and headed to the airport.

 I didnt sleep on the plane because I was preparing my set list for tomorrow’s BeBo showcase that I’m DJing.

 I feel like a crack head. Fun.
