Fun Fun Fun Fest, Austin : iheartcomix tour stop #12
We headed into Austin after a killer night in Atlanta. Going in, I was excited to get to see some of the other acts who were scheduled to play the fest. Little did I know, it was a two-day fest and we wouldn’t get there til later in the day so that pretty much ruled out the chance to watch most of the acts. We got picked up at the airport and dropped off at the fest grounds, along with Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah. Upon arrival everyone kept asking us if we were Islands, as apparently they were supposed to go on shortly and were sort of missing. I saw a band get into a cab at the airport and figured it was them. I wanted to say hi to Patrick of Islands so I was a little bummed we didn’t run into them.
I did run into Annie Ray of Austin nightlife fame, though. She was shooting portraits with her t/s lens which I am super jealous of and want to get for myself. She was cool and I was bummed we didn’t get to chat more after I was done shooting our set.
I also ran into Dylan who I had just met a few days prior in Oklahoma City. We talked for a while about life and rock and parties and fests and modding megaphones and building hovercrafts. Haha, he’s a crazy dude!
Toxic & Franki put on perhaps the best set of the entire tour at the fest. They had a great 2-hour slot that spanned daylight and night. They tagged back and forth each 30-minutes and by the end had aquired a substantial crowd that, on a few occasions stormed the stage to start a dance party up top.
After the DJ madness we got some free fest drinks and headed over to Minus the Bear, followed by the hilarious Tim & Eric. I wish I had more energy but alas, the tour was taking its toll. Simon & I walked thru downtown looking for food and settled on Wendy’s. I accidentaly spilled my chicken nuggets on the ground and then we left and debated stopping into Beauty Bar on the way home but opted out.
