SXSW Day 5:: Roaming 6th & JT

After spending a week in Austin, Helen and I got into a routine with the local juice spot down the street. Juicing has become one of my favorite past times and the recipes at Juice Land were to die for! Check them out here... MMM. After getting our morning juice and heading over to eat, we got our shit together and headed out to the festivities.  I knew it was going to be a long night because Justin Timberlake was playing the 3rd Secret Myspace Show at The Copper Tank and I didn't want to miss it.  I spent most of the afternoon fashion gazing, chatting with other festival goers and waiting in lines everywhere. What a cluster fuck. But it was worth it...  The thing about SXSW is that when a place hits capacity, there is no ins and no one comes out. It doesn't matter if you have a press pass or you are VIP. It is straight fire code. And bigger shows are harder to get into if you don't have a wristband or pass, so you need to get there at least an hour early. Things are also kind of spread apart within an approximate  3 mile radius so a lot of walking and pedi cabs are $10 per person. So it can be pricey and takes a couple of days to figure out. Glad I got it dialed and had the experience, but as compared to other festivals-  I like guaranteed admittance if you are paying more than $300 / ticket and a smaller area so you can get to every show you want to go to, like Outside Lands and Coachella. Best part of SXSW is the people, food, and the big acts in small venues. I really want to go back for Interactive and get more in touch with all the things that are going on in the middle of the day. Hope to go back to Austin again for SXSW! It was great!! Here are a couple of pics I snapped.

All sorts of people there, this outfit was quite the choice, props for pulling it off

These two were adorable, I can't tell you enough how much I love the bright green contrast with the purple!

SXSW Day 4:: Eagles of Death Metal

The nights got longer and the writing started to slow down. Almost 6 days in Austin was quite the experience. I needed to get in a good Rock N Roll show and The Eagles of Death Metal did just that. The well versed lead singer Jesse Hughes captivated my attention with his swaying pelvis and tattoos. I have been a fan for a while now so I was super hyped to see them. Helen spotted Euro fashionista Alexa Chung in the  audience in the front row and we had a little blogger moment even though we both agreed we don't have a particular fancy for her style. We also made it over to Viceland, a set up I was happy to be at after hours of internet video watching. Enjoy the pics
