AWESOMECON

Niki and I are buckling down for day one of SXSW Music.  This will be our 4th Annual SXSW and my first to do the entire thing (interactive, film, music).  I have been posting our SXSW Interactive experiences over at DevelopmentArc, so check it out if you are into the nerdy geek thing.

To follow the Awesomecon stream of things, we are going to keep the posts short and sweet, here are some highlights:

• Had a killer juicy burger had Casino El Camino
• Caught Here We Go Magic, TV/TV and Young Widows at Austinist’s Day Party at the Mohawk.  Young Widows custom amps were first made fun of by our group then we were blown away by their rockness.
• Headed over to the Paste Day party to catch Loney Dear, Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, and Ben Sollee. Ben did things on a cello that we had never seen and his singing voice was awesome.
• Back to the hotel room for a post and then off to the Fader Fort to check in.  Later tonight, St. Vincent, M. Ward, Camera Obscura, Department of Eagles…

Niki and I will be doing a lot of tweeting for up the moment notes and thoughts about SXSW.  Follow me at @jamespolanco and Niki at @NikiSaukam.

I like wine.  Someday I want a wine cellar, and no I am not talking about your poor man’s stinking wine fridge.  No, I want to have my monkey butler fetch me my wine… from my cellar. My wine cellar.  Well, maybe I can train my future child to get it from the staircase.  Cause, the staircase is pretty cool.  Screw it, I will get my own damn wine!  Lazy ass monkey butler…

Its been a busy few weeks for us here at Awesomecon.  Let me make it up to ya with this:

The Thru-you link has been going around for a while but most people have been getting their server down message.  Finally, Dubber found the direct links on YouTube and posted them.  I went looking a few days ago and they where not up yet.  Sooooo hot.  Seriously, this is just redonkulous editing.
