| Food Truck lots East Austin |
 |
| PUNK RAWK FOOD TRUCK |
 |
| Best Burrito ever! |
 |
| Cults to the right at Tops Warehouse/Gary Clark, Jr. to the left at Fader Fort. Tough decision . . . both! |
 |
| Tops Warehouse is really cool though it was really hot. Because it is a corrugated metal quonset. |
 |
| Cults. Amazing. Love this band. |
 |
| Thousands enjoyed Cults in this airplane hangar scale warehouse. |
 |
| This could be Rockstar Motel.com next year! |
 |
| Gary Clark, Jr. - really great revivalist blues. Worth every word of the hype. I'm going to catch him again at the MOG Party Saturday at Mohawk, fe: Bob Mould Band, The Roots, Blitzen Trapper and more! |
 |
| Fader Fort occupies about 3 blocks, has several different "rooms" to chill, form a band, play ping-pong, take photos with giant magnetic poetry kit words, hear DJs, lounge on various porches in the sun . . . it was my first time there, and pretty overwhelming in terms of scale and commercial aspects. Loved Gary Clark, Jr., Nite Jewel was mediocre to me. |
 |
| Chill. Except its kind of hard because there is no floor space with everyone lying on it and no chair space. So first-come first serve to relax. |
 |
| Fader Fort. It just goes on and on and . . . |
 |
| Back to East Austin, 6th St. Quieter (a bit) than West Side, but lots of terrific venues, such as Hotel Vegas, 1808, The Gypsy Bar, and more. |
 |
| More food truck lots! There are like 800 food trucks in Austin (it seems). Also I learned I do not like fried chicken waffles. Not my thing. Should've gotten the fish n chips. |
 |
| Hotel Vegan (Brooklyn Vegan stages Hotel Vegas on 6ixth St daily in the back with awesome rock shows) |
 |
| I was on my way to the Big Star show, knowing full well I wouldn't have much luck getting in, when suddenly I hear one of the best rock bands I've heard in ages. My Goodness from Seattle (of course!) Wow, they were crowd stopping, and people were shooting photos/video and raving ecstatically about them. They will be big, mark my words. I talked with a guy on the street, an Austin resident and studio bass-player. He said he saw 2 other Seattle bands, playing on the street corner who were really great too! |
 |
| SXSW 6ixth Street. Like Bourbon Street, for rock 'n' roll and true music-lovers! |
 |
| The Historic Driskoll Hotel. I dream of staying here someday . . . |
 |
| Austin Klesmer Band busking on the street! Fantastic! People were dancing . . . there are several bands busking everywhere. |
 |
| Banners by another music website. Love the message. |
 |
| Bandpage HQ looks like a rock 'n' roll/electronica carnival. There's a guy on the roof spinning lighted balls. |
