The Best Part of SXSW Is…
My friend from college, Joe Nicolosi, is a super talented filmmaker. Everyone in Austin knows it, but now it looks like the world does too!

Dear God Please Give Me the Strength to Get Through SXSW
SXSW is starting in eleven days and I’m absolutely shitting my pants terrified in complete denial. My brain simply does not want to admit the reality that this behemoth is descending upon us like Godzilla with a bad case of diarrhea over Tokyo.
