"talk to us"

2009 - MARCH 21

sxsw 2009 (with jeanette) in austin, texas, usa

SxSW is an annual music event I go to every year. I had done the "Talk To Us" thing in 2008 extensively, but I didn't have any time to do it in 2009, until one night, after a late show. Everyone wanted to buy pizza, so I decided to do something else while I was waiting for people to finish eating.

THE SIGN:
"TALK TO US" -- scrawled on an old, pizza grease-stained paper plate.

Because this was a particularly brief session, let me just quickly break it down. Only three people stopped; one was a guy who was looking for a food place that was still open (the line for pizza was now extremely long). The other two individuals were both writers who worked for a radio station, and one of them mentioned he was looking for a good publication to write for, so I got his business card so that he might be able to write for REDEFINE.


The streets looked a little something like this.
