Easterversiry!!!

  Ah yes just the way it rolls of my tongue.. "Easter verseary" .... Its magical. Most of you are prob thinking "Wes has lost his damned mind. What is Easterversary?" Well I will tell you. Its a magical super Holiday I invented this year that combined the 3 year anniversary of my special lady friend and I's "special relationship" and the hunting of easter eggs and all that other hokey shit people do on the day Jesus was risen from the grave.. Needless to say this day was pretty awesome.. I am not going to go into any details mainly cause they are none of your business other than there where the following things involved.. 

1. Raw Fish
2. Flowers
3. iTunes (how old Steve Jobs managed to get to be apart of my super holiday is a mystery to me!)
4. Owen Wilson
5. Japanese beer
6. A 9 iron
7. A stuffed buffalo
8. Pop Corn
9. A controled substance
10. Money

I bet you you cant guess what we did.... Oh and I spelled Eastervsary different every time I wrote it cause its my super holiday and I can spell it how I want to and by my I mean our sweetie!

Subway

  Do people really like Subway sandwiches? Or better yet the quality of said sandwich? Or even the manor that said sandwich is prepared and served?? Well, let me tell you I sure as hell don't... This all comes up because yesterday I thought it would be a good idea to have lunch at Subway. Boy oh boy was that a mistake. It seems every time I go to Subway when I leave I say to myself "I am never going back there!" Once again yesterday I left with the same thought. Let me share a lil insight into this Subway visit. So I walk in mosey up to the counter order my sandwich and they ask me if I would like it toasted? So like  the silly grey house mouse falls for the cheese in a trap I say "sure" toasted sounds great.  Less than 30 seconds later my sandwich comes out on fire! I shit you not people on FIRE! Following this the young lady behind the counter not seeming to really care (like sandwiches catch on fire all the time on her shift) asks me to join the line and she will "get me again in a sec".. So I was a bit confused by this whole process. I mean she caught my sandwich on fire and I have to go to the end of the line...?? Really?! So I wait in line till it comes my turn again. When I arrive at the counter again the girl behind the counter asks "what did you have again?" I almost loose my shit at this point! So I tell her the Club she asks "would you like it toasted?" So I think there is no way this will happen again. Luckily it didn't.. So we get to move on to the next portion of the Subway fun which is where they ask you what you would like on your sandwich. So we go through the process I am like"lettuce, tomato, cocaine, pickles blah blah blah" and I have to tell the girl Don't get cheap on the lettuce now I mean she was treating the iceberg lettuce like it was some sort of currency.. After that comes the condiments. So I am asked "mayo, mustard?" I respond a lil honey mustard.. Apparently a lil honey mustard means I am gonna pour honey mustard on this sandwich like its on fire and I need to put it out. Oh wait! After all of this I finally sit down to enjoy my honey mustard sandwich and vowed once again never to set foot in a damn subway for as long as I get to roam this earth... Stay tuned for tomorrow when I will go back to the regularly scheduled program of bitching about the music business. Until then please feel free to share with me your subway stories.

SXSW

  So SXSW has once again come and gone. I think this one has wore me out more then any other in my short time of being in Austin. This year I didn't have a badge nor did I participate in many of the festivities. This year I totally whored myself out to a couple of production companies which where throwing big after parties. I had no idea how hard I would be working and how long. The first one I worked was pretty organized for the most part and I really didn't have any big responsablity so it was a piece of cake.. The second night however was a showcase/party that a pretty famous blogger threw. Man was this ever a night to remember! I was hired to stage manage this night which meant I was pretty much in charge for making sure everything happened on time throughout the night.. Let me tell you that never lasted! So too make a long story short the night was chaos.. It was fun  chaos  but chaos all the same. At one point the lady friend informed me that I told Joe Simpson "You are going to have to get the fuck out of my way" I had no idea who he was nor did I care at the moment. So my sincere apologies go out to any "celebrities" I might have told to get the fuck out of my way..  So all and all it was a fun and profitable SXSW. I think next year I am going to Cabo though....

Lunch with Luke Wilson/SXSW=Busy

So last week a co-worker and myself decided to go to homeslice to have some lunch. Well to our dismay it was slam packed and a lil to chilly out to eat outside. So we decided to head across the St. to Gureo's. Well of course it was busy to with SXSW film starting and what not so we pull up some chairs in the bar. Few minutes later I look over and we are having lunch with Luke Wilson. By having lunch with I mean he was a few tables over and we didnt speak. It was really funny though. I was not sure if it was him so I kept gawking at him making him uncomfortable by the sec. Anyway just a fun lil story since I rarely see "Movie Stars" around town.
This week starts SXSW music so I will be really busy starting tomorrow. Between going to showcases my artists are playing and whoring myself out to various production companies I am going to be swamped. Hopefully I can get back to my normal writing schedule next week. Until then happy SXSW folks!

Out Of Commission...

  Just wanted to let everyone know that I have been ill. I am on the up and up though and will be back to my normal antics soon. However there is not much to report since I have not really done anything in days. I guess I will share about all the movies I have watched in the past few days and how the kind folks at the neighborhood Blockbuster know me by name. Oh well I will figure something out. Don't touch that dial!
