SXSW Excess = Kanye West and Perez

Chris Apollo Lynn — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 05:22:10 +0000

Phew! I’ve finally recovered from SXSW Interactive AND Music festivals, and have been going non-stop getting establish here in Austin.

By far the highlight of the week was going to Perez Hilton’s party. It’s was probably one of my most favoritest shows of all time. Great lineup. Free liquor. And dancing like fools with some good friends. Who could ask for anything more, right?

Well, it gets better. That night was immortalized on several blogs and the New York Times. First their pics followed by a few of my pics, including being in front of Kanye.

Before the pics, I just have to say Kanye’s current album has helped me feel emotion and love again. This album has its moments of cold and distant, but there is always a human soul in the music that is crying out to be loved–so hearing him performing live, I couldn’t help but rock out. You’ll see that in the New York Times pic.
