It will be fun.

I don't know anybody that has been disappointed in the past.

 

I'm stoked.

 

Dwarves.

OFF!

X

TurboNegro.

Beach Fossils.

Bun B.

 

Eugene Mirman.

Hannibal Buress.

David Cross.

 

WEIRD AL TRIBUTE BAND!!!!

 

Yeah. I am so in it to win it.

 

I was supposed to go last year.

Mainly to see Danzig Legacy.

I ended up opting to sleep all night.

And let the tickets just sit there at Will Call unclaimed all night long.

So it goes.

This time will be different.

The dudes that put this together do a stellar job.

90% of the awesome shows that get booked in Austin can be credited to the Transmission Entertainment dudes.

They deserve all the success they have.

Hard work pays off.

 

I should be showering up and getting dressed for this.

Instead of drinking coffee by the pint and watching cartoons with kids.

It will all come together.

I will just get ready in the car on the way there.

 

The weather is beautiful out.

This weekend is gonna be so so so good.

 

FFF>Chaos In Tejas>SXSW>ACL

 

Austin is just one fest after another.

No complaints here.

 

It does make traffic and parking a hassle.

But bikes are better, anyways.

This will wrap up the weekend.

Burger City is also doing a lot of real awesome stuff lately.

He's got a whole scene going.

Straight forward rock and roll for the kids.

There is gonna be an entire generation that Burger City will be their youth.

It's cool to see something like this happening and really taking off and getting success and respect.

 

 

 

PS. This is so super good.

Despite the unfortunate band name.

I'm surprised you didn't mention X. One of the best punk bands of all time. I saw them right when poor Exene was diagnosed with MS, words cannot describe being 5 feet away from her and John Doe, with Billy Zoom giving everybody the big grinning eye contact. Fucking incredible. Cool seeing Municipal Waste get some shine.

 

Th old man in me is irate at the hip-hop line-up. Girl Talk on the same line as DMC? That fucking Kreayshawn bitch? Danny Brown the Juggahoe? The fuck is wrong with people

Maybe that looks like a good lineup for a festival for texas? But you know what it's still texas so the lineup is still shit with a few exceptions. And they wanted $200 for a 3 day pass!! I hope this promoter fails horribly

 

It was actually super successful.

But you're right, Austin knows nothing about how to have a successful festival.

Live music is a new thing for Austin, we're still figuring it out.

 

 

 

 

 

Saw Hannibal Buress and John Benjamin the first day.

Followed that up with Bun B.

Then X.

I got super emotional during the music.

Longed for the days when people were screaming FREE PIMP C.

X was amazing.

David Cross was onstage dancing.

You could only see him from a certain angle.

But it was cute to watch that.

Run DMC did two songs.

But Jay's kids were out there DJ'ing..so that was cute.

 

I think we also saw SuperChunk too.

 

Saturday brought P.i.L.

Super excellent.

Johnny Rotten is still a really charismatic front man.

If you would have told 13 year old me that 20 years later I would be standing 20 feet from Johnny Rotten, I would have called you a liar.

 

It was such a surreal experience to be watching them, with downtown Austin and it's skyline as the immediate backdrop.

I fell in love with my city all over again this weekend.

 

We also saw David Cross do his stand up.

And Wyatt Senac.

They both were good.

Obviously.

 

Oh, we saw Wavves that night too.

They were good.

White kids in the age range of 18-24 loved the shit out of them.

Good for them.

Get that white kid money.

 

 

Afterwards we went to my favorite bar and saw

A Place To Bury Strangers

or something like that.

I would have wrote them off due to their band name.

Thought them to be some Hot Topic pseudo-metal band in the vein of 3 Inches of Blood.

But they weren't.

They almost reminded me of Jesus & Mary Chain at times with the feedback.

Then Black Moth SuperRainbow.

Half way through I decided I was tired.

So we rode home.

And ate sandwiches and watched Too Cute on Animal Planet.

 

Yesterday we got there for Eugene Mirman's standup.

Dude is seriously my favorite comedian.

After that we ate some popcicles and met up with friends.

Fucked around a little bit because Rakim cancelled due to the hurricane.

Fucked Up.

KILLED IT.

Dude did the entire set out in the crowd.

With the people.

As hardcore should be.

Then on to TurboNegro.

It's always exciting to see TurboJugend enmasse.

From all corners of the world.

I hadn't seen them in about ten years.

Not since Hank Von Hell stopped singing for them.

It was good though, as to be expected.

High energy, good banter with the crowd.

 

After the fest we went to another favorite club and saw a few bands that I don't remember any names.

Then Ceremony played.

Beyond awesome.

Everything I could want in a band.

Each band member has his own brand of charisma.

The crowd went wild.

It was probably the best band I saw all weekend.

 

I also did little parts of a lot of other bands.

A$AP Rocky..gave him a few minutes of my time.

Did not like.

Same goes for AARAB Musik.

And some others.

 

The Sunday/Odyssey BMX demos were rad.

The food vendors they brought in were on point.

We each left with about a carton of American Spirits.

Saw a lot of friends.

It was fun.

Fun.

Fun.

 

Also...$200 for a weekend festival isn't much at all.

If you're stressing over $200...then I feel bad for you son.

With the wristband, you also get in to night shows.

Which happen from Thursday to Sunday and are about 50 bands each night.

It's actually very reasonable.

Also saw David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric.

His band rules.

He's a weirdo.

Was in town doing a show for a buddy's bday with Greg Ginn of Black Flag.

Was gonna meet up with them for lunch at Hooter's.

But I decided I would rather sleep.

 

Also ran into Tony Hundahl a few times.

Gonna go get tattooed by him in the next few weeks.

Stoked.
