"There was challah all night long. Everybody was making challah. It was fucking amazing." There's something you don't hear every day, #sxsw.

Me, when I first heard of Divine Fits: "Dude from Spoon, cool, dude from Wolf Parade, cool, HOLY SHIT THE DRUMMER OF NEW BOMB TURKS?!" #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 13, 2013
When you think about it, it was probably inevitable that there'd be a Cirque Du Soleil performance at #sxsw.

Got pizza last night at a place named The Onion. No discount even after I said where I work and made a bunch of hacky Area Man jokes. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 13, 2013
I'm going to be tweeting from #sxsw this week, so get ready for lots of snide observations about tattoos and hygiene.
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 13, 2013
Headed to #sxsw now, so I can finally be assimilated into the rest of my Twitter feed. #doucheBorg

Spotted in my hotel lobby: Andrew WK, who was holding a bottle of Smirnoff and wearing white jeans, chatting up Matt Pinfield. #sxsw!

Mac from Superchunk, Archer Prewitt, Wild Belle, a dozen label people are on this flight. If it goes down it's the day indie rock died #sxsw
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 13, 2013
Got in a sweet cab accident in which I flew across the backseat while screaming. So far just some scrapes! Woo! #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 13, 2013
Are there really enough steampunks in Austin to support this bar, @seanoneal?#sxsw twitter.com/marahe/status/…
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 13, 2013
It's too sunny to be seeing @skeletonwitch. #sxsw twitter.com/marahe/status/…

Hannah Horvath has made a fashion impression. #sxsw
— joshmodell (@joshmodell) March 13, 2013
No idea what band I'm watching right now but they're good and their Kathleen Hanna-ish singer is doing this. #sxsw twitter.com/marahe/status/…
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 13, 2013
Shared a cab from the airport with @superchunk Mac, and ate some Rachael Ray sausages so far. Big pimpin? #sxsw
— joshmodell (@joshmodell) March 14, 2013
Rumor mill is going nuts for a secret Daft Punk show tonight. Somebody supposedly spotted T. Bangalter--was he wearing a helmet? #sxsw
— joshmodell (@joshmodell) March 14, 2013
The guitarist for Japandroids is so handsome. Like model handsome. I always forget. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 14, 2013
Mohawk VIP: not for short people. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 14, 2013
Currently on the tiny Headhunters patio watching a metal band called Wet Nuns, who introduced itself as "Britain's poorest band." #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 14, 2013
Man this all Stooges cover set Japandroids are doing pre-iggy is pretty ballsy... #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 14, 2013
The full head grey hair percentage at this Stooges show is real, real high. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 14, 2013
Iggy Pop and Jennifer Aniston have the same colorist. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 14, 2013
This generically named band Peace would have segued perfectly between the Charlatans & Happy Mondays on Dave Kendall-era 120 Minutes. #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 14, 2013
Iggy Pop made a pretty good case for years of heroin abuse tonight. #sxsw
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 14, 2013
Power just went out right before tenacious D was supposed to come on... #sxsw
— joshmodell (@joshmodell) March 14, 2013
Merchandise is boring and a really drunk dude keeps hitting me with his backpack. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 14, 2013
I'm not 100% sold on Autre Ne Veut, but he would make an amazing end credits song for a mid-'80s action/romance movie. #sxsw
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 14, 2013
YES. RT @dent2600 Know the size of your fucking backpack #sxsw #annoyed
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 14, 2013
If I say that Autre Ne Veut is like How To Dress Well and The Weeknd crossed with Steve Winwood, does that sound insulting? #sxsw
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 14, 2013
@joshmodell Natalie maines had 8! At this rate Dawes will have 16! #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 14, 2013
13 people on stage for Iron And Wine at the ACL Theater! #sxsw

Today I'll be standing a lot and watching bands. This picture illustrates what I'd rather be doing. #sxsw #2blessed twitter.com/marahe/status/…

This morning's lobby sighting: Wayne Coyne buying coffee. #sxsw

Also: People I have known for -years- don't recognize me without glasses. #incognito #sxsw

Manchester young'ns The 1975 gave a shout out to John Hughes. Nice. #sxsw

I know everyone's already pointed out that Rhye sounds like Sade, but Jesus Christ, Rhye sounds like Sade. #sxsw

Did you guys know tank tops are super relevant right now? Everyone should get one, regardless of body shape. #tankit #gettanked #sxsw
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 14, 2013
When this day is done, I will have seen @chvrches 3 times in 18 hours. And, um, Edsel (?!). #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 14, 2013
Hey publicists, your band is not "taking over #sxsw" Does it have tanks? An army of bloodthirsty loyalists? Yeah, it's not taking over shit.
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 14, 2013
Girl at Papa is wearing a fashion-y Native American headdress. I'm simultaneously jealous because I want to wear one and disgusted. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 14, 2013
Seen three Andy Stott sets this week and they've all been completely different. If I go to a fourth, will he just bust out some AC/DC? #sxsw
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 14, 2013
The last #sxsw show Edsel played was w/ Braniac, Man...Or Astro-Man? & Girls Against Boys. #diosmio #90s
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 14, 2013
What do all these pop-up venues do with all these dumpy ikea couches post-Fest? Trash city or goodwill pickup? #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
First Uchiko yum, now @mergerecords showcase watching Mikal Cronin. #sxsw
— joshmodell (@joshmodell) March 15, 2013
"Welcome to the flavordome" - Public Enemy right now, probably. #sxsw
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 15, 2013
Not at the Doritos crunchtrosity but I hope Public Enemy's "Don't Believe The Hype" fills Harry Allen's role w/ a big bag of Cool Ranch#sxsw
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 15, 2013
Watching Divine Fits rock a convention center ballroom, like some weird time wrinkle. #sxsw
— joshmodell (@joshmodell) March 15, 2013
I haven't seen a single (non-musically) famous person yet at #sxsw. Bogus.
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
Just watched the @thirdmanrrs truck parallel park. Rock n roll! #sxsw twitter.com/marahe/status/…
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
I shouldn't buy anything from the @thirdmanrrs truck b/c I have to carry it around all day but the concept is so novel I can't not. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
Now the hot lady washboard player is playing a horseshoe with a metal stick. Into it. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
Luke Winslow-King's band has both a stand-up bassist and a hot lady washboard player. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
#sxsw RT @m4hmood Austin sounds like the audio on every Vine post
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 15, 2013
Big shock: Angel Haze is super tiny. (Cc@genevievekoski) #sxsw #asosxaustin
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
... And then mixed into 'ignition (remix)' and 'are you that somebody.' Yes. #sxsw #asosxaustin
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
The dj at #asosxaustin just dropped 'Bills, Bills, Bills,' so they're okay with me no matter what they play for the rest of the day. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
I've almost gotten into about 100 scrapes at #sxsw because of people looking at their phones while they're walking. Assholes.
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
People complain about live hip hop but Angel Haze is doing a really, really good job. I'd say 'killing it' if I used that phrase. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
Waiting to see @chvrches for the 5th & final time of #sxsw. I think I may have a problem.
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 15, 2013
What cool bands did you guys see soundchecking for way too long today? #sxsw
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 15, 2013
There's a jeni's truck in Austin! Ohio represent! #sxsw instagr.am/p/W5PmnnOFMY/
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 15, 2013
Walked in just in time to see Vampire Weekend play "A Punk." #sxsw
— joshmodell (@joshmodell) March 15, 2013
The special guest @ Austin Music Hall show tonight w/ Bun B, Pusha T & Kendrik Lamar is Bob Odenkirk. I hear his science is too tight. #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 16, 2013
Green Day is so Green Day, and I love it. Plus, they started early!!! #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 16, 2013
Rockie Fresh just mentioned that he's 21, which means he was born the year The Chronic *came out*. Related: You're old. #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 16, 2013
Greeeeen dayyyyyy! Seriously, they make me happy. It's pure stupid happiness. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 16, 2013
Billie joe just said, 'Texas Forever!' and then launched into 'Come Clean' from Dookie. Sigh. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 16, 2013
Bootsy Collins and Tony Clifton backstage at Flaming Lips tonight. Just watching. Even the Lips' backstage is weird. #sxsw
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 16, 2013
The Flaming Lips, playing to the largest ever #sxsw crowd, doing nothing but new material. And it's crazy good. twitter.com/seanoneal/stat…
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 16, 2013
So the DJ playing Lil Wayne's "No Worries" to a packed Austin Music Hall probably hasn't read Twitter lately. #lotsofworries #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 16, 2013
The sign language interpreter at this Green Day show is raging. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 16, 2013
MICHAEL K WILLIAMS AND SNOOP ONSTAGE RIGHT NOW. Ejiishejeiwuheht!!!!?.$:$(:& #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 16, 2013
I don't get gifted shit nearly as much as I'd like. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 16, 2013
How much is the badge that lets you stand in the middle of 6th St in a douchy T-shirt & look like you wanna fight? #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 16, 2013

Oh my god that's some funky shit. The Coup. #sxsw
— joshmodell (@joshmodell) March 16, 2013
So The Coup is going to need to play our #sxsw every year.
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 16, 2013
Telekinesis just dedicated their cover of 'Don't change a thing' to me and @mrandrewmorgan. No big deal, guys. #sxsw sxs
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 16, 2013
6th street is a f-ing st. Pats drunk nightmare right now. This extremely loud Naomi Punk show will hopefully make me feel better. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 17, 2013
I like Naomi Punk, but I'm not sure anyone else would. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 17, 2013
Exclusive #sxsw wristband for lame ER party. Scary Infection and Minor Surgery sucked. Swag bag of Vicodin was cool. twitter.com/seanoneal/stat…
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 17, 2013
Boo-yah. #sxsw RT @thethermals I have to say our @theonion show at the Mohawk today was one of my all time favorites
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 17, 2013
Stubb's: where setting up bands to play takes as long as their performance. #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 17, 2013
I'm way more bummed about missing A Tribe Called Quest than Prince. #lindenblvd #repesentrepresent-zent #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 17, 2013
I know it's hi-yum, not hayme, but I prefer the latter. Some of Haim's songs would've fit in on a soundtrack for an '80s Corey movie. #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 17, 2013
Walked into The Zombies just as they broke into "Time Of The Season." #whatsyourname #whosyourdaddy #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 17, 2013
Maybe the lack of sleep and these painkillers will eventually make me hallucinate that I'm seeing Prince. That'll have to do it for #sxsw.
— Sean O'Neal (@seanoneal) March 17, 2013
After The Zombies, Brazos Hall mostly emptied prior to A Place To Bury Strangers. The average age also dropped a good 20 years. #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 17, 2013
A PlaceTo Bury Strangers is fucking ferocious. #sxsw
— Kyle Ryan (@kyleatthefest) March 17, 2013
There's a youngish guy on my flight to Chicago that has a beard that goes past his belt. Into it. #sxsw
— Marah Eakin (@marahe) March 17, 2013
Thanks to all the bands who played our party yesterday. Goodbye #sxsw
