Yes, I went with a blog title third-person style subject for this post. Why? Because here are a few quick stories that involve me looking/acting/feeling dumb at this year’s (very fun) SxSW.
Fallulah
Oh, Fallulah. Here’s a song of hers.
I am a big fan of this song. It’s a lot of fun.
I saw her with my sister and Airplanes on Saturday night at Frank. She was (I’m going to use this word a lot) fun. Very high energy, happy, and just plain good. E$, Airplanes and I went upstairs to eat some food and Fallulah came on. I ran downstairs to take a few pictures and, whoops, fell in love. Ohhh she is pretty. And so much what? Fun.
After her show I used my sister’s phone(and therefore her twitter account) to write out a tweet.
“Hey Fallulah! Awesome show! Are you going to come out to take pictures? And marry my little brother?”
E$ pointed out that this made me sound crazy. FINE! I could’ve said lots of things. Frank sells hot dogs. I ate one and it was tasty. I wondered if maybe Fallulah would respond to this:
“Hey Fallulah! Great show! Want a hot dog and a green card? My little brother’s single.”
I didn’t send any of these … but eventually she came out! Whoo! We grabbed a picture but I had forgotten to turn on the flash. Our wedding photo, RUINED! Full of all the engineering charm I could muster, I leaned in close and said, “you guys were … good!” Really brain?, really? That’s honestly all I could think to say. Oof.
Nevertheless, check her out!
Dig Those Pants
This guy. Those pants. This guy with those pants. I wanted a picture of me casually by him. This is how that turned out.
He clearly noticed what I was up to. He turned and said, cool as can be, “if you want a picture with me we can do that.” I was ashamed at my lack of being able to be sneaky/lack of just going up and asking. Nevertheless, the picture happened. WHAT A STUD.
Rubblebucket
After their awesome show … a picture with the lead singer. I asked if we could do two. “One regular, and one where we’re all dinosaurs?” She said, “Of course!” Then she dinosaur’d like a champ.
(Oh and notice that Juicebox and I have hipster’d our jeans. This trend was led by Juicebox.
Well, led by the hipsters. But then by Juicebox.)

Well look who’s too cool to be a dinosaur. smh. Oh and by the way, in that pic with the guy with the red pants you look like you’re sportin’ the worlds largest fannypack. BAHAHAHA
What’s more frightening is the grin I’m sporting.
I’m wearing those red pants right now…in a perfect alternate universe.
I always assumed you wore red leather pants while typing out blog stuff.
