SXSW 2012 – Day 1

It was muggy as hell on the first official of day of the SXSW 2012 Music Festival and our arm pits, camera lenses and upper lips can attest to that. Some of us drank a little too much, some of us saw a little too much tranny-butthole and I saw Anthony Bourdain!

Our day started a little later than we would have liked due to shenanigans the night before; and re-remembering how to do this festival journalism business. Hardly a reason to complain, that’s just the life of a music blogger. We’re already a little better at this, but not by much.

Enjoy the weirdness of Day 1 in Austin at SXSW.
