Sharon sounded just lovely in the church down in Austin last week. So don’t snooze on this one, even if you don’t win these tickets.

Above: People really, really wanted to see Death From Above 1979 at South by Southwest 2011, March 19, Beauty Bar patio, 1am Saturday night / Sunday morning. Who could blame them?
Hey gang. Just a quick note to let you know we’re still alive, parsing photos, missing the Texas weather as compared to California’s typhoon, and will be uploading SXSW content this week per tradition. The final three gigs I caught, personally, were (A) Odd Future storming off the Billboard Buffalo Billiards stage quite early at their “official” SXSW showcase gig, (B) Yoko Ono doing Ono things at Elysium, and (C) Death From Above 1979 working the crowd into a fence-tearing-down frenzy, Beauty Bar patio (pictured, above). So, stick around or something. More soon. Ryan

The good people behind LA Taco, one of my favorite local blogs, are currently busy seeding their annual “Best Taco, Los Angeles” poll. I was asked to help seed their poll for the readers and voters, and I did do that. However: This task gave me pause.
Since moving to Long Beach last year I’ve been content to explore the new area, secure with the belief that my day job on the west side meant that at the drop of a pin, I could still tell a complete stranger where to get a decent taco within any 12-block radius of Los Angeles proper, having lived there for a decade and arguably working there, still. Looking over my list, however, I’m feeling less and less like that is the case. Please: Help. What am I missing? Much love, Ryan
1. Tacos Sinaloa: The Vampiro (Highland Park)
Ave 54 / Gold line general vicinity
Note that this is an entirely different “Vampiro” than the vegetable drinks that are called the same thing at Cactus #1 on Beverly. Of the two, when hungry, this easily would be the Vampiro you’d prefer. Wash it down with 80 beers from Mister T’s Bowl or the Little Cave. Though I no longer date a girl in HP I REALLY MISS THIS TINY TACO WAGON!
2. El Atacor 11: Potato Taco (Cypress Park)
2622 N Figueroa St
Buy in bulk. Great party food.
