Celebrities In the Heart of Texas

So this past week as Chris and Charlie were working on reruiting 1000 girls to get to our Super Saturday Night party I was traveling to Austin Texas to meet with C3, the company we are working with to throw our Rock the Rabbit event at SXSW (that's South by Southwest for those of you who don't know the abbreviation). The flight down was lovely (JetBlue!) and in fact, the airport service was impeccable so I take back my comment about everyone working in an airport being an asshole. I learned two things on the trip down: 1. Donald Trump Jr flies Jet Blue 2. The Heart is the best radio station on XM Satellite radio (I plan to discuss at length in the future)

When we arrived in Austin it was freezing cold (BOO!) but we got to eat at Las Menitas which made up for it. Then we checked out the site for the party which is right in the heart of downtown Austin. I can't tell you where it is quite yet, ut just know it is Da Bomb. So, we hit up the C3 offices next and much to my disappointment we had just missed Lance Armstrong. However, much to my appointment (is that the opposite of disappointment???) Perry Farrell was in the office meeting about Lollapalooza!!!!! I was so excited...I had to hold myself back from telling him that I probably sold about 500 Porno for Pyros albums in 1994...I had to restrain the urge to sing Jane Says or put a stocking on my head and re-enact the video for 'Been Caught Stealing'. So, i was starstruck and then it was time to get Happy Hour cocktails at the 4 Seasons where apparently Justin Timberlake was staying! No sighting...so sad. However, we did see Miley Cyrus's tour bus and later that evening at dinner (Uchi -- a sushi place that was AWESOME. who knew Austin could serve up some mean raw fish??) I spotted Connie Britton -- the wife/mom on Friday Night Lights. Not as good as Riggins, but still I love her.

The end of the evening was spent at some new nightclub called Pangea in Austin. This was not my ideal place to go, but C3 had to entertain some people. This place was filled with go-go dancers wearing ridiculous get ups and out of town investment bankers. Howeverm the thing that annoyed me most about this club was every time they served a bottle, they put this huge sparkler device on top of it. I think it's a fire hazard AND it akes the room light up which is the exact opposite thing you want to happen in a club environment. Who wants to see that the guy they have been hitting on is actually only 5' 3" and has buck teeth? Then at some point Perry Farrell's wife's purse got stolen...and then someone else's did as well. Moral of the story: Stick to BBQ and dive bars in Austin...FO SHO.

All in all this trip was productive -- we came up with awesome plans for Rock the Rabbit at SXSW, so stay tuned for announcements and more behind the scenes looks at what we're gonna do down there. Some of it includes costumes and sandwich boards....
