AUSTIN: SXSW Day 1.5
So there were some hits and misses yesterday as far as free stuff goes… the Ice Cream Man (notice the ice cream girl in the picture below with her diabolical eyes) was being a big pusher and tried to get even diabetic people to eat some free frozen treats, so look for him at his random locations. But don’t get the blue popsicle unless you thought that guy with the green colored lips looked cool.
Red Eyed Fly, you got some splainin to do. Does your"free drink” stash consist of an already drank six pack ? (bait and switch tactics were popular yesterday, just take the free earplugs and leave).
Bourbon Rocks is an official showcase but if you can talk your way in their food is yumm-bo.
The overall best deal to me was the Levi’s/Fader party which only required an RSVP-- the list is closed now unfortunately but thanks, yes, we had a good time there. The Kills posed for us below. If you are on the list, it’s free drinks, easy access to front stage. And Lou Reed is rumored to be there today.
Lovejoy’s service and atmosphere was quite nice in the AM. Coffee’s a buck fifty.
Don’t even try to go to the “Canadian BBQ Blast” without a badge, even if you rsvp’d, they won’t let you in (but we did find out that you can befriend a badge holder and they’ll let you tag along with them to get in, for a small favor)
Also, if you hear of anything we all might like to know, comment!
