If you think that this is cruel then you should see what my friends do…

Giving the Pipettes a second chance after a less than stellar cedar street show this afternoon. Finnegeled some non-wristbanded buds into Beauty Bar's patio (sorry Mr Fire Marshall - all's fair in love +
sxsw)…caught tilly + the wall for the first time in 2 yrs +
beatle-esque (+ sloan-esque with the instrument changes) field music.
Newmarket's pride, Tokyo Police Club + Cursive (who I've loved
forever) are up next…all in all a marriage of convenience for weary
legs and lazy brain…
Looking forward to geting home to redistribute the swag…
Wish me safe sunday travels + hope you're having a music- filled
saturday night of your own!
Peace,
Meegs

Hot freaks party

Thanks to chromewaves' Frank for the tipoff - amazing good times at
mohawk.great tunes.

She was a manic depressive, which was impressive

1234 get ya booty on dance floo…
Seems like I can only see mickey avalon in the daytime..first at
virgin fest + now at the scion party at stubb's. Always a high
energy, fun gig - new songs were few + far between - surprised the
crowd knew so many tracks…pipettes're playing a party - might end up
missing rakim….skipping school again today - can't resist these
parties…

I’m your president, hey hey hey

Lucked out with a beautiful perch at all gigs tonight. My weasely
intuition and unassuming stature have paid off bigtime + it'll show in
the closeup pics - especially from today - nelie mckay, buffalo tom
and el-p/aesop rock/undie hip hop lineup at emo's.

Skipping school…

For INTIMATE Pigeon John day gig at Creekside - beautiful stuff -
short video to come. 'Say I need hip-hop!'

Geeking out in air conditioned comfort

Attending sessions on legal issues in the music industry today +
tomorrow. 8 hours of seminars over 2 days - sponsored by the Grammies
- legal/copyright/nerd heaven

And now back to your regularily scheduled programme..

Experienced some technical difficulties yesterday - during the
disappointing Cold War Kids set + a beautiful Elvis Perkins
show…ended up losing valuable face time with Peg…which I hope to
make up for today. Caught Sage Francis' set + his cameo appearance
with Buck 65 (now touring + recording with Scratch Bastid)..ended the
night with MTL's own Patrick Watson, Malajube and We Are
Wolves…barring any other meltdowns I'll keep updating throughout
today…

Peace
Meegs

Won’t you come?

On my way across downtown to La Zona Rosa thru the warehouse district
after sage francis at ego's + pawa up first at maggie mae's +
fortuitiously stumbled upon the section quartet tearing up a beautiful
rendition of soundgarden's 'black hole sun'…compelled to stop +
check out something unexpected + new…the best part of SXSW - no
matter how much you plan + map thing out - the best gigs sneak up on
you. Cold war kids and elvis perkins nezt…then buck65 + more -
fingers crossed for fast lines.

Kwaii!!!

Japan night pre-party across from the convention centre - took some
wicked funny pics - post'em soon.

Vive le quebec libre…

As I dropped Martin off at Cedar Street's courtyard to check out the
