2009.03.21 11:49pm dee-yoo-enn.
2009.03.21 09:37pm trying to slowly coerce people to go to an all night dj-hosted dance venue...
2009.03.21 08:06pm in a venue with about... zero people.
2009.03.21 05:38pm don't worry, i only wore these for about 8 seconds.
2009.03.21 02:31pm ok. i'm just sayin'. if you feel like you could never be in a band. go see Vivian Girls.
2009.03.21 01:57pm i have no problems creating my own sweaty dance party at a 1:30pm Woodhands show broadcast on canadian radio.
2009.03.21 11:40am next to a 4 block line of 14 yr olds who are waiting to get into emo's.
2009.03.20 11:37pm total shutdown.
2009.03.20 06:57pm last sxsw weekend == music == austin may-hem. recuperating for big fri night push + continual dance party quest.
2009.03.20 12:01pm mohawk lines are fun.
2009.03.20 09:38am sxsw. day 8/9. what to do, what to do.
2009.03.20 01:01am admitting Matt & Kim @ opal's made me feel half my age, but refrained from entering the faux mosh pit. way too bright for the dj afterwards.
2009.03.19 03:31pm best venue ever, w/ pic...
2009.03.19 03:28pm at the best venue ever. [?]
2009.03.19 11:13am wishing there was another calvin harris show.
2009.03.19 10:06am pic doesn't convey the crazed front row dance party, but toronto's Woodhands electro-pop show won last night.
2009.03.18 07:18pm in a cave prep'ing for Weird Weeds 9pm @ hideout, followed by a Canadian indie dance party @ habana calle 6.

2009.03.17 12:17pm Letters to the President was interesting. intense. not the most uplifting thing to start the day.
2009.03.17 10:33am tho interested to find out if aristotle is on twitter, seeing Letters to the President @ the ritz instead. 11am showing = empty theater.
2009.03.17 10:16am was just mistaken for dan. dan, who may or may not look like me, someone is looking for you.
2009.03.17 08:46am sxsw. day, uh, 5/9. josie's on a vacation far away.
2009.03.16 11:07pm chose a tj & dave improv performance over the film schedule for the evening. a wise and very worthwhile choice.

2009.03.16 04:13pm Yes Men Fix the World was good and fun. them doing their anti-corporate guerrilla thing the way they do. lots of audience support.
2009.03.16 01:13pm Second Skin, Darkon, Dungeon Masters documentary marathon, imo.

2009.03.14 05:45pm Designing the Future of the New York Times seems to be just a classic print design v web design conversation set in the context of news.
2009.03.14 05:27pm surrounded by a gaggle of samsung nc10s.
2009.03.14 05:03pm decided to go to Designing the Future of the New York Times instead of seeing Objectified.

2009.03.13 03:04pm 1. exploit and protect expertise; 2. embrace ignorance; 3. design for specific users and specific needs;
2009.03.13 02:51pm "i don't know what's going to happen, but something is going to happen." well. ya know. at least he emphasizes user experience and context.
