HONK! TX – Red 7

Mar26

Hello Austin people. The HONK! TX Festival is in town this weekend and you should try to get out and enjoy some of these bands. The weather should be great all weekend. Tonight’s event was Downtown at Red 7, but check their website for the rest of the festival locations. This is one of the best music festivals in Austin, in my opinion. 🙂

One-Eyed Doll

Mar22

Here are a series of photos to give you an idea of what to expect when going to see One-Eyed Doll perform.

Junior Sewell will set up the stage before the show, and get things organized.
Kimberly Freeman will make a grand entrance, looking awesome as usual.
Kimberly will engage the crowd with sweet words and offer a few laughs.
Kimberly will then surprise you by totally rocking out with Junior destroying the drums.
Costumes, funny hats, rockstar poses, screaming guitar, diving into the crowd, excellent music, and lots of fun!
Kimberly decides that the show is over and dive bombs into Junior’s drum kit.
Kimberly transforms back into the sweetest person you will ever meet and signs autographs for her fans.

They are going on tour in support of their new album, so please go to see them when they get to a town near you. You are guaranteed to have a great time!

SXSW – Texas RockFest

Mar22

Tonight’s SXSW agenda was to see all the rock bands at the Texas RockFest. My ears are still ringing. 🙂

SXSW – Do It To It

Mar21

It is the last full day of SXSW, and I am starting it off with the Do It To It party this Saturday evening at the Living Room in the W Hotel. There are some good DJs working their magic here. 🙂

SXSW – Mexican American Cultural Center

Mar20

The rain got the best of me tonight at the Mexican American Cultural Center. The bands were total troopers for enduring the weather. It was still fun, and tomorrow is another day.

SXSW – Make Some Noise

Mar20

I walked through Rainey Street (appropriately named for tonight’s weather) and went to the Neiman Marcus Make Some Noise party at 78 Rainey Street. It ended quickly after I arrived, but I did get to see the end of the set for Marina and the Diamonds. It was a good start to a very wet evening.

SXSW – Spoon

Mar19

That was a great concert. Thank you Spoon.

SXSW – Auditorium Shores

Mar19

This evening’s SXSW experience was found at Auditorium Shores. I really like the new layout for this park as a concert venue. It was a first class experience. Good job Austin!

City Hall

Mar18

I parked at Austin City Hall this afternoon to attend some more SXSW events. The events were nothing to write home about, but the flowers, sunshine, and architecture at City Hall were great!

SXSW – Waiting in Lines

Mar17

If you come to SXSW, it is inevitable – you will find yourself waiting in lines. This example is of a very long line alongside the MetroRail tracks just to pick up some wristbands for The FADER FORT. If you find yourself in a line like this, please be nice to others and always try to strike up a conversation and make some new friends. You never know, you just might meet someone from the other side of the world.
