I fail at updating

asimplechordTheoretically there will be a post about SXSW, but I am doing laundry and contemplating the drive up to Cypress to see Stamps perform at some crawfish-related festival or something at Cypress Saloon. Am I fated to only see Stamps perform at restaurants? (Seeing a band gig at TGIFriday's bar will never stop being a source of amusement, although I thought the performance was outstanding.)
So you get two least-blurry phone pics.
Most hilarious: Sean Van Vleet draped over Tom Conrad, crooning, "Quiet now, you're sucking the charm out..."
Also amusing: Tomrad being the person to invite us all to come closer. Until we were basically standing AT his mic.
And: How surprised they were by the enthusiastic response to the performance of I Want Blood.
They looked and sounded amazing. Dallon Weekes really charms me. Brendon and Spencer seemed really pleased that the crowd was so into their new songs and knew the lyrics. (I've got nothing about Ian; I was at the barrier in front of DW, and Ian was on the opposite side of the stage, so I didn't see as much of him.)
The debut performance of Ready To Go, after hearing them soundcheck it (in addition to some Jackson 5 and what sounded like Carry On My Wayward Son)? AWESOME.
And LOL, poor Zack. Seriously, skeevy people who throw their underwear at the stage: Don't. Do. That. Zack picks it up gingerly and throws it to the ground to be trampled by security.
