FFT @ SXSW, Day 1

First band of the day was Whispertown 2000 at just after 12 noon. Free cozies with Shiner beers.
Everyone wants their badge. The line for the artist's check in is like one huge band with 200 members.
Dbags abound on Day One of SXSW.
Cooper McBean of of Sac's (or Davis') Devil Makes Three owned this down-and-out dive bar called Lovejoy's on the main drag. Owned it. Had no idea people sang along to their lyrics in Texas.
The antipasti spread at Enoteca Vespaio off of south Congress on the way home.
More DM3.
Y3s more (DM3 photos by AN).
The quietest place in Austin this week. Actually, kinda refreshing because of all the shitty ass rock bands on 6th Street.
Did you know Jerry Perry drums for Pains of Being Pure at Heart?
Bermuda Chucks.
This band sucked but I can't remember their name. They covered Mariah Carey's "Emotions," which sucked too. And they all wore these lame eye-black masks.
Cool bike lock technique.
Wavves after his second of three shows.
The nosebleed's at Emo's.
Yr boyfriend.
Yr boyfriend.

Basically, it was a chill first day of planning what to see, taking shit in and heading out early to start writing. Had a crustless cheesecake made of mascarpone and some homemade pasta for dinner.
