Exclusive parties DO suck...

Unless you are on the list. And it rocks. And it is hosted in someone's house, sponsored by serious magazines, subsidised by booze companies, laden with live bands, and still alive and kicking when the sun has lit the sky.

There are few places on this god forsaken planet where an event like this is more than possible, beyond probable, but actual.

Man, Austin rules.

It may seem strange to wax poetic about a party that happened nigh five days previous. "Don't you have better things to do than sit on your laurels reminiscing?" you might ask. We thought the same thing, but, fate has led our hand back time and time again to this single moment in history.

While browsing our favorite Scottish online newspaper, we came across an article covering this very party. Being inspired by the write up to then go poke around on Idlewild's web site (one of the 5 bands to play that night), we noticed they had posted a number of pictures in their gallery from the very same event.

Now finding two seperate references a continent away to a crazy good party that was nearly called to a premature end around midnight by Austin's fine police force may not seem to you like reason enough to linger overly long. We are prone to agree with you. Were that all that we found, we would immediately agree. But, that was not the last we would hear about it. Apparently, ultragrrrl had a reasonably pleasant time at the party.

The house party at his place was possibly the best party in all of SXSW. Hands down. Dude, fucking Idlewild played in a living room. IN A LIVING ROOM. Maximo Park played next to a hot tub! MC Chris played in a LIVING ROOM. The Prix and Fractious were fucking amazing as well and DJ Elhaam got a fucking dance party going for all the kids that drank too much of the free SPARKS!

From there we just started looking around, to see what other people had to say. We found references on daily refill, a mention from our comrades over at the Gothamist, and pictures from all over on Flickr. We were glad to see the success of this party very nicely reflected by its posthumous popularity.

That being said, even if there weren't articles on it in foreign periodicals and bloggers weren't blogging its praises, it still would have been worth our time to share with those of you who were left standing out on the street, trying desperately to fast talk your way past the security desk, that is was a Great Fucking Party.

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOd Parties have a nice time

  • Typically, Master is not aroused during punishment. However, He is a sadist, He was hurting me, I was naked and squirming and moaning. He wanted to fuck.

  • Plus, I'm supposed to be the quietly accepting slavegirl right? Whether it's locking me in a closet or sending me off to work or expecting me to function without Him, I'm to just obey.

  • i have been writing up a fierce storm to the echoing applause of silent rejections (at least send a note, people). and i have been making leaps and bounds in therapy.

  • We have diveded all the sites into different niches, so it will be easier for you to find exactly what your looking for.

  • Don't take your next California road trip without it! This is the tiny version of the big book listed below, but with some of the more popular names. (*****)

  • I've put off this post because it's long and overwhelming. In the porn world, sex infiltrates every offshoot of your life. It takes that kind of infestation for the magnificence to wear off.

  • She pulls out the garment tag and reads it. "This is for babies," she scowls. She unbuttons the skirt, slides it on, and it fits.

  • My main areas within linguistics are semantics (about the general linguistic meanings of words and things) and pragmatics (about how we work out what people mean in a particular context).

  • and i figured that was what the ropes were for. to stop me squirming away when the body odour hit.

  • Any particular reason you'd want to fly to San Francisco? IIRC, Swingers is set in Los Angeles.

  • Being a man (and having seen pictures of melon sex) I don't have any trouble believing that the sticky business took place as described.

  • I had to ask myself if I could get used to a life like that. How much *exactly* did it bother me that He was not only serving Himself, but serving ME also?

  • Had a good time at the par-tay guys. Overdosed on Sparks, so we didn't get out of there til 5am. Back in NYC now, say what's up to Reeder for me. More pics on crackersunited.com
