Todd P Campus Show

Todd P comes up with some of the best show ideas at SXSW, and some of them happen really late. This one for instance: "MIDNIGHT UNAMPLIFIED ACOUSTIC BBQ (sans the BBQ'n)"...

:: a late late night unamplified acoustic party w/ lots 'o buds
:: who're in Austin for the fest - just 2 songs apiece, unamplified!

:: this is a bit of an experiment because we have no permit of any
:: kind - then again, why would we need one? it's unamplified!

:: WARNING: as this is @ a park on a college campus late at nite,
:: it is totally possible that the campus police will show up & write
:: ticket to folks for whatever reasons they can come up with.
:: BE WARNED!

:: NOTE: no open bottles or cans, so BYO & put it in a cup!

I would have liked to go to this, but I had two shows of my own on Wednesday (day and night), and then one immediately the next day on Thursday morning (maybe if I hadn't forgotten to pack my crystal meth). Instead I caught a few hours of sleep, but Ryan journeyed out there and snapped the pictures you see in this post.....

this was a really nice event. campus security wouldn't go away though, but they didn't shut it down either. they were just.... there. even so, really warm respite from all the bullshit that is SXSW.

Highlights were Woods, Best Friends Forever, Ninjasonik.

did anybody get pictures or footage of Todd's secret late late late Saturday night / Sunday morning party? Ninjasonik freestyled with Diplo and Spankrock!
