South by Southpaw 2009
March 18, 2009 – 9:31 pm
Can I tell you briefly about my appearances this week? I realize it’s SXSW weekend, but my three appearances are FREE and require NO WRISTBAND.
If SXSW doesn’t mean much to you, we can have our own little music festival together, like we do all the time in The Live Music Capital of the World. If you are tackling the whole SouthBy scene, well, you’ll need a break from international bands and Hollywood celebrities. Come see me, bring out-of-town friends, and enjoy this orgasmic weather!

- Library full of tutors and tutees! Retreat to preppy coffeehouse. Wish I had the discipline to work at home, but there’s a big orange cat. #
- I’d be willing to take an unpaid month off, you know, for the economy or whatever. Talk to me post-coffee. #
- These pretzels are making me thirsty. #
- Some folks will never be able to pronounce “chipotle.” I worry about their future, as this world demands flavor and discussion of flavor. #
- @BonnieWhitmore Ah, I remember Douglas Corner…rock it! in reply to BonnieWhitmore #
- Corporate lumps banned facebook, myspace, and personal e-mail. I’m not bitter, Twitter. They must not know about you yet. #
- @inmyviewfinder Thanks for the g-rated compliment, Kaci! in reply to inmyviewfinder #
- @rainarose I don’t know how to slack now. Today, I’ll just sit at my desk and wonder how Bristol Palin is feeling. in reply to rainarose #
- @rainarose The desk is made of God. And balsa. in reply to rainarose #
- Speaking of God, thank God “The Godfather” ended up so great considering all its behind-the-scenes struggles. http://tinyurl.com/b67g9b #
- Tempted to try that spicy lemonade cleanse. Checking the calendar for 10 safe days to fast. #
- As a musician, why am I more jealous of film pass holders than music? Music can certainly be cinematic, right, @springsteen? #sxsw #
- @bellwetheraudio You shall be my gastrointestinal sherpa. Will I grow faint? What of ulcers? Can I chew on ice? Will I recognize my own fez? #
- @abitapia Thanks, Abi! You’re pretty great, too, FYI. TGIF. I’m just putting out fires here under the flourescent lights. in reply to abitapia #
- Withdrawing energy savings to perform rockin’ show at Cafe Caffeine tonight. 7 pm. Head/face @ maximum scruff level. Trimming Saturday. #
- Survived Costco without dipping into savings. Quite a slice of humanity in there. #
- Mushroom & green onion scramble with half-caf coffee and absolutely worthless tv. #
- @lambeco Glad you like the pic. Sweet Maggie disapproves, but me and my tall brain are keeping it. in reply to lambeco #
- Mental abilities begin decline at age 27, while accumulated knowledge increases until age 60. Good one, nature! http://tinyurl.com/bgkdom #

- @tom_pearson I dunno, mythical? in reply to tom_pearson #
- @roblifford Sounds like a fine Rhyme Thyme system. in reply to roblifford #
- @smackfairy “Book of Dreams” or “If I Should Fall Behind” in reply to smackfairy #
- Springsteen on Daily Show Thursday! #
- Listening to philosophy lectures on death from Shelly Kagan. Turns out Madonna was right. We do live in a material world. Materi-ah-al. #
- I don’t have early memories of the grocery, but I think it was just ham, cheese, bread. Now there’s sushi, fine coffee, live infomercials. #

- At Chik-Fil-A, they say “my pleasure” instead of “you’re welcome.” At GNC, they grunt. #
- Spike Gillespie is offering a round of drinks for groups of 15+ at the 3/11 Dick Monologues! http://tinyurl.com/d59bff #
- The dentist just went so far into my mouth, I think he turned my donkey wheel. Waiting for feeling to return before my first sip of coffee. #
- @roblifford Warpstar sure was sold out on Saturday! To great effect. Grab a seat this weekend…you’ll dig it. in reply to roblifford #
- Figuring out which part of the Springsteen Universe to share with a beginner. #
- About to get my metabolism going with six flights of stairs. Praying no office drones see me. “What you movin’ fer?” #
- At the Cactus, waiting for Ana Egge! #
- Weather report says this is officially the slowest week on record. Something about the earth’s rotation and gusts of ennui. #
- Perhaps I’ll go to the library during lunch. Yes, Ron Paul, a public place to be pensive is worth all my dang tax dollars. #
- Entering the 19th day of the slowest week ever. Crew getting restless. I have no Thursday night show! Just a dry socket and a pang or two. #
- Celebrating one month ’till Springsteen + E Street live in Austin! #

- Following real live authors tonight at Cafe Caffeine. What should I play? Folk-rock summary of The Great Gatsby? http://tinyurl.com/am2cos #
- @ExML Wordy is just what I need, actually, if only I was motivated to write and not nap before the show. in reply to ExML #
- Enjoyed HBO’s “Right America Feeling Wronged.” Apparently, grown conservative men will weep at the drop of a hat when they’re on camera. #
- Tickets are still available for Spike Gillespie’s Dick Monologues Wed. night! 7 pm. Hyde Park Theatre. http://dickmonologues.com #
