Would you turn down BBQ if you were in TX?! I hope your answer would be a no, unless you’re a vegetarian. Most of you are going to see the pictures below and ask us why we didn’t go to Salt Lick. Our reason, because the drive was too far and we were too hungry to wait. There’s always next year’s SXSW when we can make up for it. Anyways, we headed over to the second best place that we could think of and had our very first “real” meal of the week. All of the other food we had been consuming was either street food or from a food truck posted up on the corner of an intersection.

Not too sure why they had this by the line because we could see the meet being prepped behind the registers. But hey, you need some sort of entertainment in a BBQ house.

Stocked for life. Sauce on sauce on sauce.

Word.

Breaking bread with the family.

Take notes people. If you’re deciding to open a restaurant of your own, please keep these qualities in mind.

After lunch we headed down town for another adventure on 6th st and to check out the Fader Fort. I heard that this guy Rick Ross was going to be performing. Ever heard of him?

Hands down, the best showcase stage went to Doritos. Too bad they didn’t have Cool Ranch chip bags being dispensed out of that machine.

Forgot to mention that it was St. Patrick’s Day.

The dogs name was tiny.

Try to find where we tagged up this wall.

You’ll never find it.

All I thought of when I saw those two words was THIS . -DM

Semi packed.

As of right now, #CLOL (condescending laugh out loud), has become the newest/trending hash tag out there. It was created by the man on the right, @WhatsUpWally.

We ran into our friend Freddie Gibbs at the Fort rocking our #BEERGOGGLES.

Never can go wrong with hand made pizza.

CAN I GET A UGHH?!

I thought the night was over and honestly didn’t think that the night could get any better… I was wrong. We headed down town to the Respect the West showcase where we were able to watch Kendrick Lamar, Ab Soul, Jay Rock, Nipsey Hussle, Dom Kennedy, Pac Div, Skeme, and many more perform.

The night had finally come to an end and we were ready to make the 20+ hour drive home at 2:00 in the morning. Seriously, we made that drive after partying. (being responsible driving sober) Thank you SXSW and the crazy people in the streets of Austin TX for making our trip well worth it. We’ll see you next year at SXSW 2013! Also, we need the same roommates for next years trip. Orisue, Flud, The Doppelgangaz, get ready for another adventure!

SXSW has lived up to its hype over the past week with unforgettable showcases at every venue. Day four was filled with one of the most anticipated showcases of all week. FuseTV. went all in with the Shady 2.0 Showcase by having acts like Slaughterhouse, Schoolboy Q, Big K.R.I.T., Action Bronson, ASAP Rocky and STS perform. To top everything off, 50 Cent headlined the showcase performing his classic album, “Get Rich or Die Tryin’”. It was definitely icing on the cake to see such an artist perform.

We ran into the ASAP crew mobbin in front of the theater.

ASAP reppin.

Don Trip performing his hit release, “Letter To My Son.”

Schoolboy and ASAP performing together.

Slaughterhouse came out and performed all of the classics.

After the Shady showcase we headed downtown to grab some food and check out some more showcases.

You’ll never go hungry on the streets of Austin because there’s a food truck on every corner.

#1 please.

Check back tomorrow for our closing post on SXSW.

 

Day three was full of eating, walking, more walking, and visiting showcases all around the down town area. Before we could start off the day, we headed over to one of the most talked about burger joints in town, WhatABurger. For everyone that thinks that this is better than In N Out, go fix your taste buds.

After some grub we took a mini road trip over to Tekgnar, a local skate shop, to visit the staff and check out the place.

All of the casings, shelves, etc. have been hand made by the shop owner.

Meet Steve and Lawuan. Steve (on the right) has been a customer of the shop for over 10+ years and has grown to love the place like a second home. Now he helps run the place and has been hired on as a full time employee. Both Steve and Lawuan like to keep things exciting and new at the store by producing their weekly promotional videos, Fresh Fridays .

Next stop, Slaughterhouse video shoot.

After the shoot we strolled into the city to check out some events and roam the streets.

Alex gave up meat for Lent so all he could eat was Pizza and Quesadillas.

Zombie mode.

First friendly encounter, DJ Skeet Skeet.

We closed the night out over at the Interscope/Geffen party with performances by Kendrick Lamar, MGK, Don Trip, LEP Bogus Boys, Blaqstarr, and many more.
