Dope Ambition at SXSW Part 1: The Scenery
So as many of you know, I scrambled around and somehow scraped up enough scrilla to make it to SXSW for the first time this year. I was lucky enough to not only have a place to crash, courtesy of my favorite band Kids These Days and their manager, but I also managed to hustle my way into many a wristband-only venue.
I could go on and on about my adventures, but I’ll let these flicks speak for themselves.
This first batch of photos chronicles the scenery in Austin during the music festival which was full of, well: (in no specific order) chronic, hippies, hipsters (not to be confused), open bars, bands playing on the street, long lines, taco trucks, rickshaw rides, and 2-hour waits for cabs.
The next batch, which I’ll post tomorrow, will document the life and times of Kids These Days during their (and my) first SXSW adventure. Stay tuned.
navigating Austin...or trying to
PARTY CAB!
Chan Chan and I in said party cab...trying to start the party
The line for the Fader Fort by Fiat wristbands. 2 1/2 hour wait
Refreshments in the mean time
Acting like fools.
Documenting all the hipsters, hippies and happenings.
The lines for wristbands and/or passes were outrageous
Bands everywhere. Skinny legs and guitar cases, too
She took the party out to the streets with fervor
For those SXSW-goers who so desperately wanted free sweaty hugs from wandering hippies
Kick pushing past the madness on 6th Street
Impromptu street concerts by dread heads and flannel shirted hippies. I'm into it
Chan Chan
We walked EVERYWHERE
The most common means of transporation in Austin. And this wasn't the most colorful of the week's variety.
Yooo lemme get that vest, SON
More skaters taking 6th street at night
Vodka water, sketchy drink bartender gave us, repeat
the Austin uniform, it seems
