SXSW 2008 Images: Bands and Man Boobs

Still in recovery from SXSW 2008, but here are a few pictures from the ole point-and-shoot Olympus. The HearYa gang made a pact when we arrived to SXSW to make sure it felt like a vacation. That meant very little blogging during the week and very few pictures. We managed to get some decent video footage from a few venues and Shirk was able to record the entire Bloodshot Records party from the sound board. I’m hoping to make that available to everyone after it’s mixed. Here are a few of my pictures. More to come over the next couple days.

Let’s start with the Tie Dye Man that we met outside at Yard Dog at the Schubas Party.

Then we ran into this man with boobs outside of Yard Dog the following day. I asked if they were real and he invited me back to his place to find out. I respectfully declined.

Frank Smith had the youngest fan at SXSW. This was at the Wed party at The Scoot Inn.

This cat was sitting next to me at the bar, staring at me (and scaring the crap out of me).

Here’s Deer Tick at the Brooklyn Vegan Party.

Felice Brothers. The picture is hazy because the sun was setting behind the stage, burning my face off.

I’ll get some images of Dr. Dog, Blitzen Trapper and others up soon. It’s bedtime.
