Ess ay tee you are, dee ay why... DAY!

I just assumed that Mess With Texas 2 would annoy the living shit out of me, so I went to Mohawk first. I was happy to see that Gus was right, Mess With Texas 2 really pulled the normal INSANE Saturday crowd all to one location. Unfortunately, it also pulled all the good acts into one location. The party at Mohawk had enough good acts to keep my attention for a few hours. I was able to see Film School, A Place to Bury Strangers, and David Bazan (before I make fun of them, I actually really enjoyed 2 out of 3 of these bands... hint: bookends). I tried to watch Film School from the roof, but the Hot Freaks shit-heads made that area VIP only. (Oh, yeah, I know. If I were a VIP, Hot Freaks would not be shit-heads. Instead, they would be totally fucking tits.)

Luckily, the sun was in full cancer causing force and there was no shade on the roof. So, fuck them, I'm standing in the shade with the not-at-all important people. What follows is photos that are A.) proof that the lead singer of Film School likes to buy sunglasses when completely wasted (bad idea dude) B.) people at SXSW drank beer other than PBR, Lone Star, or High Life... and they obviously can't read (assholes) C.) proof that the singer of A Place To Bury Strangers still let's his mom cut his hair (it's the guy on your right) and D.) proof that David Bazan still doesn't realize that he needs a backing band to be truly entertaining.
