roll call:
jagged
Chuck(e)d
Aural Fixation
shiv
swiatecki
whiney

So I started drinking yesterday around two or three PM, so this may be rather abbreviated. Saw the Deathray Davies and I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness play at Emo's during the afternoon. Gradually, all of the above list except for whiney showed up in the emo's parking lot, and we chatted (I drank) pictures were taken. I spent a couple of hours chatting up strangers. Chad interviewed wolf mother and scoped out the line for the new pornographers. Tania got into town. Shawn got into town. shiv was doen the street at a free showcase.

We got pizza, and then split up for a few hours. I didn't know it, but I was going to be out of the loop for most of the rest of the night. I went up to school for a meeting, went home, and called shawn. he drove over to my place, and we took a cab downtown. We went to Red 7, where we paid money in the front for a free show in back (d'oh!) and saw Ghostland Observatory (dancy pants!) and didn't see Controller Controller (drizzle/technical issues). I met the night's booty call (because I am apparently a slut these days). chad came and went. shawn took off. I tried to take a full beer with me out of the club, and pounded it when the doorguy reminded me. Walked around 6th street. Got a best wurst on the corner (smoked italian). Drove to a private party on south congress. Open bar (OPEN DEATH). Proceeded to alternate tecate, bottled water, and vodka & tonics. There is photodocumentation. Danced. Womanized. Got a call from swiateck, jagged, and shiv. Wolfmother brought it. They are done, standing in the street. I am jagged's host, so I get my friend to disentangle us from the open bar (sob), and we go back downtown. She reluctantly drops me off. I go find the boys, and there is noneother than WHINEY standing in the street with them. I proceed to talk with a filthy drunken mouth about my manwhoredom (i'm turribul). We chat, we hold forth, et cetera. swiateck drives jagged and me back to my humble abode. i let jagged in, and then i step back out (insert mood music here). I come back around 11:30AM, we grab breakfast tacos and monger (coffee & cigarettes, ah). I write this current installment. I am ready to begin again. Today? Spoon? Lucero? Marah? Kris Kristofferson? Drive-By Truckers? The GZA? raekwon? deathray davies? the magic numbers? the starlight mints? mr. lif?

only time will tell, and me, if i live long enough to.

i'm yr monger,

chuck(e)d

DBT are a bit dissapointing in the one hour time constraint.

I'd pay some good money to see Deathray Davies.

Jagged is a rabid animal, and will go for your jugular at any moment -- keep and eye on him.

The force is strong with this one.

Phase III: The Bright White Light

It is coming.

Keep updating us while it still makes sense. And then double your efforts after that.

*swarmed with jealousy* how was ghostland observatory? i fuckin love these guys.

too bad you didn't get to see controllerx2, they are amazing live. how was i love you but i've chosen darkness?

Holy shit, with choices like those, I'd already be hard into the sauce only hoping that the booze would make my choices for me.

Also massive help from Frank's can.

Yeah, Austin seemed like a town that understood Frank's Can on a visceral level. The dudes I was hanging with popped Ritals like pez.

Ghostland Observatory = Dancy Pants! They were great, the singer is a really nice guy. he must get a ridiculous amount of trim, cause he;s a pretty boy.

ControllerX2 I've seen before, and I'ma see them again later this week so I can flirt with the lead singer - she's a peach, i tell you what.

. . . still waiting for a fucking cabbie.

tell shiv if he doesn't hit that Stones Throw showcase I'm gonna beat him to death with a fan belt.

i have to find the fucking thing first. there's like 3 bazillion clubs down here.

i missed wu-tang today but got to see this moment in black history along with short film (who actually just moved here from boston) and then went down the street and saw manikin (girl drummer! yeah!), haunted george and the cheater slicks. then met up with the rest of my posse and went to see nic armstrong, kris kristofferson and drive-by truckers, but i missed the truckers because i felt like shit, couldn't find colin or anyone and then just decided to get back to the hotel.

edit: i just saw the flier for the stones throw showcase tomorrow night. i'm definitely going to that, if i can get in.

no excuse, bubba.

having been to sxsw consecutive years in a row (damn i wish i was there), let me be the first to tell you that you need to TRAIN.

That shit ain't amateur week.

i was passed out at la zona rosa, woke up and decided to walk back to my car before i died.

Ah man i am really jealous. Is there any kind of a buzz about certain bands going around?

haha i wouldn't even know where to start. i'll try and figure this all out when i get home.

Excellent work, Private Chuck'd. Keep those field reports comin'.

from what i keep reading on those damn blogs and the radio, tapes n' tapes.

i think they played last night but fuck if i knew where they were.

The Ark are probably gonna be huge.

Also, Sam Champion = not a wussy folk singer.

*bump* for continuity

All we're missing is the link to the massive, incriminating, fantastically NSFW photo album.

I don't even have the first idea of how to start doing this, but I must.

Oh you Must, dammit. You must.

Uhhh, I think imageshack.us has an Album feature. If not, I fuckin KNOW dnorwood knows how to do it. She posted her vacation pics.

Chop Chop.

just upload them to image shack one by one and add the links. its pretty easy.
