Yeah, we got our hairs frosted in Austin. What of it? We also filmed more than two dozen videos of our trip to the big rock n’ roll circus fest in Texas (which you can find on our Lost In Austin page). But if you don’t feel like plowing through said body of work, might we suggest this mercifully succinct highlight reel? It’s got exclusive footage of our SXSW showcase, MAKE FUNNY NOT WAR, as well as the day party we cosponsored, MESS WITH TEXAS 2.

Paul had the much-coveted 1:30 A.M. slot, which he made the most of with his signature aplomb. Then, he set his sights on us, the Super Deluxe camera operators.
Mr. Mirman, tear down that banner.
You’ve seen him in Jonah Ray’s Freeloader’s Guide series. Turns out, Matt’s a really funny stand-up, too.
SXSW 2008 is another day dead but the footage just keeps coming. Here Brian explains how metalheads at the festival can have some extra fun.
Morgan can relate to people on The Maury Show.
The comedy duo blend hip-hop and junk email in a bit called “Def Poetry Spam.”
Expect more footage from MAKE FUNNY NOT WAR today. Like this “loosey-goosey” clip from L.A.-based comic, Josh Fadem.
Some of us are back in Atlanta after a whirlwind adventure at SxSW. We saw a cornucopia of bands, put on two wildly successful parties, hung out with tons of new and old friends, ate beef at all three meals on Saturday, and learned that a band which primarily sings about partying probably isn’t going to be very responsible about video-shoot schedules. And our ears are still ringing. Hard.
While we organize our thoughts—a round-up of all of the bands I caught is forthcoming—and our videos of The Sword, Clipse, X, Duke Spirit, Municipal Waste and Saul Williams are edited down for your enjoyment, we want to give a shout-out to all the folks who worked so hard (both in Austin and Atlanta) to make it all possible.
See you next year, Austin!
PS: Not even Slayer can save shitty pizza.
The sun shone brightly on all who came out yesterday to our other big event that we cosponsored at SXSW. MESS WITH TEXAS 2 was a much more sprawling affair than MAKE FUNNY NOT WAR. For starters, it was outside at Waterloo Park (which apparently is a great place to smoke crack in the off-season). From what we could tell, about a billion people showed up (it was free, after all). And in addition to our line-up, there were two other stages with, like, a gazillion bands on them. Again, we want to thank everyone who helped make it happen, blah, blah, blah…
Mucho footage to come.
