Title: Anyone going to SXSW? Austin FOTs? Will tell stories for shelter.
Post by: hugman on February 04, 2009, 05:04:27 PM
Any FOT's going to be at the SXSW film festival?  Those of you who were in the chat yesterday at 5:10 (8:10 est) already know that I got a short film in, and I'm going. Would love to meet FOTs from around the globe.  Also interested in pooling resources for hotel or shacking up with someone in Austin.

The Nightmare

Movie Night played last year.

It's in the Midnight Shorts program which is said to be geared towards "stoners" so....there you go.

This is really good and funny, and I'm not at all stoned.

This just in. I'm very excited to see that the Scharpling and Oswalt-touted film, THE SNAKE, is playing.

i was going to be in austin the week after SXSW but i was thinking of making it during the festivities this year.  granted, we've already met and im old news, but if im there during SXSW i'll throw in some cash for a room (assuming your lady is cool with it, and if so, no offense, there's always lots of drinking to be done).

She's cool with it.  PM me if you're gonna come. We're trying to nail down details by around the 15th.

Thank you very much.

Thank you. We are safely out of any sort of competitions, tho.  We're just happy to get to attend.

Looks like I'm heading down there!

I'm not getting a wristband this year or anything (money is tight, yo) but my boyfriend is playing some unofficial shows with his bluegrass band Triggertown. The guitarist in one of my bands is now in Beep Beep and they'll be playing down there, too. I'm just gonna chance it without the wristband and go to the free stuff or no-wristband-required stuff.

I went a few years ago and felt like I didn't go to $150 worth of shows. It's hard to get into a lot of that stuff unless you want to spend the day waiting in line. Well ... I did see Robyn Hitchcock twice and that's worth everything to me so I guess it was worth the money ... in my heart.

Anyone else decide to go?
