updated 9:30am 3/22/05: i just uploaded 187 sxsw 2005 photos for your viewing pleasure. click HERE or hit the "see me" link in the sidebar for some austin eye candy. sorry about the sideways-ness - i was in a rush this morning. i'll fix em tonight. thanks!

note: sxsw 2005 entries were entered on the evening of saturday march 19th, as i had limited internet access during the week and ignobly forgot to bring my computer's power pack with which i was supposed to power my computer. enjoy. i did.

-up at 8am - curse my circadian clock
-hugged some porcelain, brushed my teeth, went back to bed
-12 noon - woke up, brushed teeth again
-brunch @ star seeds cafe - usually tasty, but they were swamped with hipsters, our food, though dastardly delicious, took four and twenty hours to arrive, and there were flitty fruit flies everywhere. nuff said.
-fonz dropped me off his house, he had to work 2pm-10pm
-arpan picked me up 3ish and we headed to "the drag", where the titillating "toy joy" store is located
-bought some impractical cutesy junk and we set off for the convention center and "flatstock 6"
-on the way to flatstock, we drove by a packed urban outfitters store, bloc party was playing there. i spotted my buddy mike who is in "the winter pageant", shouted his name, and we hung out for two seconds while arpan circled the block. there is a diesel store in austin too.
-circled the poster art trade show, meeting artists, gathering an obscene amount of brilliantly designed business cards and postcards, purchased $150 or so worth of memorabilia
-sprinted to the nearby hilton hotel and asked some guy who i thought worked at the hotel restaurant where i could find an atm. he didn't know, didn't work there, but did ask me to join him for a sushi dinner. i turned him down. i am a one-man lady. dang though. my new haircut is the shizznit! he was a fairly attractive austin-dave lookalike. and free food. o well, i had posters waiting to be bought.
-asked a real restaurant worker for help and an atm was successfully located and some of my bank account's funds vacated + $2.50 service charge.
-after dragging arpan around the trade show for 2 hours, i finally have my fill and we head out. arpan has a thesis to finish.
-dropped off at fonz's house @ 7pm
-fonz gets home at 11ish. arp shows up not long after. we make celestially comforting chicken noodle soup and wait for the calm to seep in.
-partay. good night.
