Under $10 – Cafe Bravo, Silver Lake – Tasty Armenian Meal
By FoodManChu - Tuesday March 24th 2009 |
People walk and drive by you, without giving you as much as a glance. People make fun of you. People do not take you seriously. People consider you to be lonely and desolate inside. And people only come to you when they absolutely need something. Why do people treat you like this?!
That’s because you are a strip mall.

SXSW 2009: Metallica Setlist, Stubb’s, 20 March 2009

Metallica played a “surprise” (read: completely not a surprise) concert in Stubb’s backyard last Friday night, to promote the new Guitar Hero: Metallica game at South by Southwest. Prior to the show, three winners had to play Guitar Hero while Metallica looked on, laughing someplace offstage. James then walked out and said, “Hey, thanks for letting us crash your party.” The concert ran 90 minutes, featured 90% oldies and was very, very loud. They brought their own 60ft trailer truck full of gear, ensuring those in the back of the yard, those choking Red River and those crowding the roofs of the buildings across Red River would hear every single bit, crystal clear, no mud whatsoever. Could I have been more thrilled? No. I was about 20 feet back, and even walked out of the melee with a Kirk Hammett guitar pick.

SXSW: The Forms @ Todd P Free Day Party, Mrs. Bea’s, 19 March 2009
By Ryan - Monday March 23rd 2009 |
Each year dozens of stellar bands (No Age, Vivian Girls just two of this year’s examples) play Todd P‘s setup at Mrs. Bea’s (and often unregulated, “secret” venues ’round Austin, as well). Take for example Forms above, who kicked off the day last Thursday @ noon sharp (already hot in Texas), or dig some Neptune photos from last year. Or mayhap Kirsten Ketsjer‘s your bag. Takers? Factamatter is, and I tell people this annually, if you think you do not have the money to “afford” sxsw, you are mistaken. No badge, no wristband, no problem all day and night. Combine this patio, a few solid rsvp’d day shows and a Mess With Texas massive setup, and you’re more than set, wristband-and-badge-free, all week long. Something to think about next year.

SXSW 2009: Losanjealous Coverage On Tap
By Ryan - Monday March 23rd 2009 |
As previously noted, we spent the last week in Austin. (Maybe you caught some of our sporadic, occasionally nonsensical tweets from the thick of it?)
We’ll be rolling out a ton of South by Southwest coverage soon; stick around for photos, commentary, opinions, anecdotes, video and much more.
