brief insert.



im not ready to recount my week yet. ill have my story straight in a couple days. in the meantime for a band breakdown you can check out d sankas blog as he and i saw a big chunk of the same shows. http://mikebarras.net/blog uploading pictures takes way too long on a 40k cable. need to start taking advantage of a T3 on campus. anyhow sxsw was gripping. i have to say if you dont feel anything like a rockstar normally and youre just a loley student who wears four eye glasses and chats with dork engineers about french curves and differential decline curves then you need to go. period. i have to say my crew and i rocked pretty hard amongst a whole lot of tame toe tapping onlookers. im not sure if people were drinking so much free beer they forgot how to go nuts or what. i guess dancing is passe. best show? without a doubt the gossip. it wasnt a new show for me as my music twin in chicago kirstan took me to see them a few years ago. but i have to say the show on thursday night KILLED me. many of you know this thanks to sms technology. and i even met beth pre-show.
i chat with beth after that there were lots of fun bands. im not going to try to enumerate right now but a couple highlights for me were echo and the bunnymen hot chip holy fuck and this absolutely PSYCHO band at headhunters which wasnt even a venue. if anyone knows what im talking about please tell me who they are i want to see them again.

i bitched and moaned about the stupid exclusivity of certain day parties but i really had nothing to chonk about because adam and i got into the austinist party on wednesday night that grand national played at. we missed grand national but we didnt miss a beautiful party.

pictures are going up slowly so if you arent appalled by the bad iso settings and blurriness check them out and let me know if we had overlap. on another note im running for webMASTER in the upcoming SPE elections. you cant vote for me but you can definitely fund my campaign.

know emeril? know how he broke it open with the whole BANG? screw emeril. what? screw him and lets see ten more. “tyson farms” “rye bread” violence modernity like like DR KR TP primaries. who cooks best? heinz and thorazine. emeril? fat crap cream ball haaqh. why doesnt letterman decide to challenge america? why does geraldo yellow journalize? why doesnt oprah give up tv and go into law? why dont scientists run for office? why is la morena poisoning neighborhood kids with lard and fuck? why write real genius and not FOLLOWUP? why teach kids and then send them to college? why not get her number? why semi vs cartesian vs log? DECLINE. there it is. im happy and happy. pick a color. h3x.

many things happening. firstly, geology is really fun to learn about. however. i am inundated with it and will soon be rocked out for awhile. mouf today i decided to chew another piece of my bubbalicious gum that i got when i saw willie wonka and the chocolate factory. it was tasty until i realized a huge filling in my tooth was in my gum. that will be fun to fix. ironically i took the picture two days ago thinking i had nothing to hide. i really like the new fiery furnaces album. some of you know that already. today i saw a guy on the steps of the tower who was massive in gut, had two crutches next to him, and was reclined back with mouth totally agog, and he had miky white skin. my first impulse was to take a picture. a girl nearby had first impulse to check if he was alive. i hastily put my camera away realizing it was a scumbag thing to try to do and maybe i should be less goggle eyed. and yet still i wish i could have nabbed the picture. zen+mini i am without mp3 player while the rma process decides what to do with my zen micro. its hard to ride the bus without tunes. so today i decided i would start crime and punishment. i never read it in high school. i liked brothers karamazov a lot so how can i go wrong. i am calling for anybody with an opinion to show your true grit and give me your top ten acts of sxsw, whether you are or arent going. the bonus of you doing this is me whorishly taking video and pictures at the show and giving you full props for my fun. last two bits. i was watching the fourth disc of simpsons season 7 and found that fox in its infinite wisdom had given me two disc 3s. doh. luckily i have realized the newest album by the fiery furnaces called bitter tea is exceptional to my oft wrong tastes. its heartfelt and silly and crisp and beautiful.
