lucky me
Happy St. Patties Day everyone! Kiss me, I'm IRISH!!! Mmmmooiiii!!!Well, while New Yorkers are sitting through some snowy parade, we're here in Austin, TX enjoying 82 degree weather, sunshine and people watching the hords of musicians, music fans, managers and more. Actually sitting next to me right now as I type is the band manager for The Raveonettes. He hooked us up with a sweet list of bands that are playin during the day. A lot of em being RSVP/Invite only, but we'll give it a shot anyway.
We had a great flight down here - totally smooth. After settling into our hotel room we headed out & met an old friend of Ricks at this bar downtown, called the Ginger Man. Several creamy and very tasty Boddington's later we realized it was already midnight and we had another party to get to!
We arrive at the party and it was wild to see a TON of people I know - but we're all in a different state! weird!! Jane, Lane, Ev, Jason, all the Dealership/CHAA peeps, Kevin Smokler, MJ, Molly, Jeff Veen and I'm sure I'm forgetting someone! But wowie!!! I also finally met a few peeps I've heard a TON about, like Jay Allen. cooL!
So very cool party, and some photos were taken. I'll post those & link all these people later on.
Anyway - I am tryin to get some work done at the hotel for just a bit & then we're off to grab our SXSW passes & try to hit a few of these day shows... The Wrens are playing today, so I hope we can catch them!
Tonite's band lineup is insane - we have about 200 different bands to decide from, so I'll have to let you know later what we end up doing..
Cheers!! *and a pinch if you're not wearing green*
