…while THE WORLD’S WORST CAMERAMAN does his best to thwart them!! MWWWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Hey! This guy we grabbed on the street is in a band. And he has feelings, too!
This is no joke. In fact, it’s totally nuts-o.
Me and Matt—the two guys who Super Deluxe sent to Austin to blog about SXSW—nearly had both of our apartments destroyed last night, right as we were filming at our MAKE FUNNY NOT WAR show. I got the text in the middle of Todd Barry’s set. Matt was standing backstage with Brian Posehn. Yes, comedy and potentially catastrophic news—together at last in real time!
Fortunately, our places are OK. But we feel awful for all of our neighbors who actually have been put out. With that said, there is plenty of MAKE FUNNY NOT WAR footage to come. It just got put on hold for a second there thanks to a freak fucking act of nature.

Nothing like finishing up your set by ditching the stage and crooning a gut-wrenching ode to South America directly to your friends on the pavement.
Hot, Danish day party action.
Our apologies. Our video camera died, so we had to use our crappy, microphone-less Olympus digital to tape this cute-as-a-row-of-buttons avant-whatever band from Oakland.
And then we attempted to re-record what we think they sounded like.
127 at Habana Annex - Highlight: the sheer earnestness of their alt-jazz-funk-so-bad-they’re-genius sound. And the fact that they’re from Tehran, Iran.
Soiled Mattress And The Springs at Habana Annex Backyard - Highlight: dude looks like Screech, plays like Kenny G should and convinced the crowd that, actually, we were all in Mexico. BEST BAND OF SXSW 2008!!
Har Mar Superstar at Eshter’s Follies - Highlight: Watching Har dust the stage where MAKE FUNNY NOT WAR is going down tonight with the remaining bits of hair on his head.
Bushwick Bill! A little heavier and a little rounder than we remembered him from the Geto Boys. But he’s still got it. Whatever it is. Honestly, we couldn’t really tell. He literally grabbed us by the kneecaps while we were walking down 6th St. last night and insisted we tape him.
