So South by Southwest started on Thursday. Friday night Shara had some friends come in from Dallas and invited us to join them for a girls night. We went to Trudy's for dinner. They have the fabulous Mexican martini's and the best stuffed avocado I've ever had. Then we headed to downtown Austin. It was insane downtown. So many people and so much amazing music everywhere you go. We only went to a couple of places because we kind of got a late start but it was a lot of fun as always. Then on Saturday it was time for Kelley to go home. I was so sad, it just seemed like the week flew by. I'm so glad she spent her spring break here with us. We loved having her here. After we dropped Kelley off we went to meet up with Christa and Dusty. They got hired to work for this event put on by Fader magazine and told us they could get us passes if we wanted to come. Oh and did I mention Kanye West was preforming? We were so excited. So after we dropped Kelley off we met up with them to get our passes. Mark stayed to watch all the bands and got to hang out with Christa and Dusty and see what they do. I came home with Brody and hung out with him for the afternoon. Then I had a sitter come around 8 and I headed back to meet up with Mark, Christa and Dusty. I got there and the place was packed. Luckily Dusty had talked to one of the security guys and I was able to get in the side gate. So if it wasn't' enough that we got passes to come see the show, they ended up getting us all access passes. We were able to be back stage for the performance, there were free drinks and I got to see Dusty and Christa work too! Kanye went on around 9 and did a 2 hour set. He preformed with a bunch of different people but the only two I really knew were Common and Erica Badu. We had so much fun. We even got invited to the after party but we had to get home to pay the babysitter. I don't know how we will ever repay Dusty and Christa, THANK YOU guys so much. It was such an amazing night. Oh yeah and if you want to check out there work go to www.thefader.com!
Kelley and I on Friday getting ready for girls night
All of us at Trudy's with our Mexican martini's.
Group shot downtown.
Me, Kelley and shara.
Kanye West. It was hard to get pics because all I had was my iPhone and you have to hold it really still to get good pictures but the music was so loud the ground was vibrating.
I loved all the drums!
See we were literally backstage.
Yay, all access!
A fabulous date night for me and mark!
