SXSW 2007 - Day 1 - Wednesday

27 March, 2007 (06:36) | i like music | No comments

As expected, I woke up late on the first day of sxsw. I got a text msg from Amanda asking when I was going to be downtown, but as I couldn’t even remember where I was (common problem for me in the morning) I didn’t have a good handle on the situation. I knew I […]

broccoli

I hate broccoli. I consider it to be one of the most disgusting food items. Unfortunately I have bad broccoli karma.
When my boss told me I was going to be moving desks to be closer to my group, I was excited. I would have left the company on the spot if he would have told […]

SXSW 2007 - Pre-Day 1

24 March, 2007 (08:42) | i like music | No comments

I was booked on the last Continental flight to Austin the night before the music festival started. Pulling my usual “get to the airport late then mad rush to get on the plane”, I poorly judged how ridiculous the line was going to be at the ticket counter and ended up having to carry-on my […]

Y2K+7 in AC

A couple weeks ago we went to AC for a blogger happy hour, and also Kat’s first trip. Everything about this trip started off on the wrong foot. Everything was running late. First I had to work the morning, then that dragged out into the middle of the afternoon, then we had […]

SXSW - who do I want to see

12 March, 2007 (22:15) | i like music | No comments

Girl Talk - easily my most anticipated show. I am a sucker for remix/sample artists, and this guy is the best I’ve heard in a long time. I’m sold the moment he mixes Hum with M.I.A., I’m sold.
Fujiya & Miyagi - I’ve really been digging their album.
Most of the others I have seen […]

It’s like ‘haha’ funny

12 March, 2007 (21:46) | i try to be funny | 1 comment

For those of you that weren’t aware, Kat and I took a standup comedy class through Manhattan Comedy School, which ended with a graduation performance at Carolines (though in the middle of the afternoon). It was an amazing experience. Some of my classmates had a lot of friends so the house was totally packed (somewhere […]

Wisconsin

It’s cold there, dontcha know. Right at freezing in fact, with mixed snow/rain/sleet. And they’re overly chipper about it too. The weather actually wasn’t all that bad. It’s actually what the weather is supposed to be like in New York, I just lucked out this year. Something to look forward to for next year, I […]
