Attention Austin

I will be there in one week for SXSW. I need your suggestions for which coffee shops I should hit up while I’m there. Any suggestions?


Don’t forget about the karaoke meetup tonight.
9pm at Sidekicks. Be there or be square.

OH MY GOD I HATE DIBS YOU TACKY WHITE TRASH BASTARDS.  You do not own the street because you shoveled it.  This is not pre-annexation Dakota.  Tilling the land does not entitle you to the land.  It is a paved, city owned street.  If I shovel my neighbor’s gangway I do not get to blockade the gangway for my own private use.
Stealing your “dibs” items is kind of a fun Winter ritual though.  I got a really decent stockpot last year.

My thoughts EXACTLY. I hate this too.

The Incredibly Small trailer is password protected on Vimeo but still somehow has 135 views. Is there a black market for unreleased trailers?

Manly March

hipsterdiet:

  1. No shaving
  2. No complaining
  3. No staying home if someone invites you out
  4. No ennui

In any confounding situation simply ask yourself, “What would Beowulf do?”

If you don’t think I’m taking part in this you have no idea what I’m trying to do with my life.

Five people on my bus are asleep.

I was almost one of them.


Thanks to everyone that came out to the fundraiser screening tonight. It was super fun to meet everyone, watch a great movie, and eat cheddar popcorn. Let’s all hang out again soon.
