I just realized I didn't write an entry for SXSW 2007: Day 3. Well, I originally had all the time off from work scheduled for months. Towards the end of February, I got kick in the nuts and lost a couple days. Oh well. I'm walking a fine line of balancing little sleep, SXSW, eating, driving back and forth and work. The main problem for Day 3 was, I started around 9:30am and went to bed the following day after 5am. Plus I was waking up a few hours later around 10:30am to start Day 4. Simply put, I started to feel the whole "it's not the years, it's the mileage" thing. I need to recharge because I have to go into work tonight.
So let me give you a quick rundown of the remaining week for SXSW 2007.
Tuesday - Day 5: a couple of panels, a movie and go into work
Wednesday - Day 6: maybe a movie, Keynote Conversation: Pete Townshend and go into work
Thursday - Day 7: off from work, a panel, maybe TXRD Lonestar Rollergirls and a movie
Friday - Day 8: some music panels, a couple movies and go into work
Saturday - Day 9: movies all day, ending with I'm a Cyborg, but That's OK and go into work
OMG, it really is the mileage.
This past Sunday evening, I headed up to Austin, TX to catch some TXRD Lonstar Rollergirls action. It was the Hellcats vs. Putas del Fuego. I already missed the last couple of rollergirl bouts. Even though I had the the sniffles, I didn't feel like missing out on them, again. With the sniffles, I felt like I was sort half there. I almost gave up during half time. If these rollergirls look familiar, they are the same rollergirls from the one season only Rollergirls TV series from those punk asses at A&E. Fuck you A&E.
