March 17-18 The Denton/SXSW Day 1 Whirlwind

Denton... is a blur. We were an hour late to the show. Set up as fast as we could possibly manage. Ate free pizza at J&J's. Watched the glory that was Western Giants... then loaded up and headed to Austin. We were probably there 3 hours and then it was Austin or bust. Drove through the night in order to beat the morning traffic and head to Husband&Wife's 1:30 showcase at the Buzzgrinder day party and our 2:15 showcase with Thunderhawk at the Standard Recording Label day party. And somewhere between the Denton departure and Austin arrival, Bryant managed to get a touch of the stomach flu. And by touch, I mean more vomit than I've ever heard come out of a human being in my life. All night. All morning. Husband&Wife somehow managed to play their 1:30 show and just when it seemed like Bryant was down for the count, he picked himself up outta the van and played our bands' evening show at the Space12 gallery. Day 1 was a complete blur, but a success none the less. We ended the evening watching Danielson's Space12 performance. Totally. Amazing.
