My friend Matt plays in MGMT and was in town playing at Doug Fir on Tuesday.
I have more pictures in the MGMT gallery.

More in Justice gallery or on flickr.
You can find my review of the show here (if you read French…).
- Crashing Playboy parties so you don’t have to.
After seeing an amazing Lou Reed tribute featuring Lou Reed in the early evening, Nilina and I headed to the Playboy party. Certainly the things to be enjoyed most about SXSW are not found in that kind of over-hyped, “exclusive” super corporate event, I mean, Playboy?! But seeing if I could make my way in was half the fun. We didn’t know where the party was exactly, but the hundreds of people waiting outside made it easy to figure it out.
Long story short, after trying everything in the book, I did make it into the giant warehouse, with a side room with a wall of port-a-potties instead of restrooms and cheesy corporate logos being projected on the wall. I missed all the bands (The Heavy and MGMT) and wasn’t officially in there so didn’t want to risk taking any pictures…
Nilina did get this hilarious polaroid (in case you’re wondering, it’s Miss May 2007 and Miss February 2008):
In not too long, as I was wondering if we should call it an evening or wait for Justice’s DJ set which seemed to be bound to happen very late, and intently staring at Lance Armstrong to see if he was wearing a yellow bracelet, my reverie was stopped by someone asking me a question.
“Do I know you?”
