Heloise & The Savoir Faire at SXSW in Austin, TX

Save The Date!

The taxi-to-SXSW-attendee ratio is grossly unbalanced. A few of us had to stay at a friend’s hotel (thanks Nick and Jess!)

Pepperoni graveyard in front of Stony’s Mobile Pizza Kitchen (which is really a truck)

FUCKIN TORCHE!

Behold: IRON MAN (playing his 5th show today: two with Puny Human and 3 with the Savoir Faire)

Right after that last photo, we saw a band start playing on the street corner.

Their first song (which happened to be their last) was called “Anarchy”. Several nearby cops came over and shut them down. But the band appealed to the crowd: “Dont you guys want to hear some free live music??” The crowd cheered in approval. Then we had to go to the car.

Look into the maelstrom that is 6th St, Austin

Jason, Joe & friends talk after eating at Mushishino (excellent sushi)

Joe's memory of what happened after Luke punched him for mussing Luke's bed:

JOE: “…so I stripped down to my jock strap and went out to the pool for a dip. It was like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman.” SARA: “What??! That didn’t happen in Pretty Woman!” JOE (playing it off): “It was like Drew Barrymore in Firestarter! Or John Candy in Uncle Buck. Like Steve Martin in Roxanne. Like Aladdin in Aladdin… (ad naseum)”

Labelmates The Legendary Shack Shakers dominate the stage. The lead singer reached into his underwear and pulled out some natural confetti for the crowd. Unbelievable.

Brother Z made us feel like we were in austin japan with the best sushi we’ve ever eaten inland or otherwise. And some of us have been to japan!
