A Train Bound For Texas
I've been so busy lately that I almost considered skipping the first day of SXSW; then I decided to just not sleep instead. I'll be hitting the road in about two hours, and I'm still pretty much in the dark as far as what I'm going to see and when I'm going to see it (so keep those recommendations coming). Tonight, I'll probably watch Laura Dunn's The Unforseen, and prior to that I think I might catch the remake of DePalma's Sisters, starring Chloe Sevigny. And there's a short playing before that called Day 73 With Sarah that I'm interested in because the director is a mutual friend, and because the Theater Fire did the score.
Speaking of The Theater Fire, they're going to be all over the music festival this coming week. Starting Tuesday, they're playing several shows a day, and I'll be at a handful of them. Their official SXSW show is on Wednesday at 11pm, at Room 710. The rest of their schedule is up at their site.
They'll have a new EP to hand out, and also a DVD, produced by yours truly. I've been up all night putting the finishing touches on it, and I just handed over the finished product an hour ago. It features five songs culled from three live performances. For your viewing and listening pleasure, here are the first two cuts: Beatrice and Coyote. I've also made iPod versions, which can be downloaded here and here (right click to download).
I might upload more later in the week; and if you see me at a show, I might have copies of the DVD on hand. As for now, I'm off for a last minute shoot for another project, after which I'll be heading south for a nonstop week of watching movies. And editing. And parties. And writing. But mostly movies.
UPDATE: And I already missed the first one - I didn't end up getting my badge until seven. Now I'm sitting at the convention center, waiting for The Unforeseen. It's packed.
