Snapshots: The White Ghost Shivers

Credit for the amazing lineup at the EFF-Austin party goes to Doryan Rice of Wednesday Night Dinner Company. He was channeling Ziegfield.

"Amazing and energetic" would seem to fit what I saw during the 2nd set by TWGS. The front woman (Stella?) is one of the best musical performers I have ever seen, and that includes Mick Jagger when he was inspired, and still under 50 in Memphis. The dancing at the rear of the crowd was something to behold, with this one muscular handsome young man in a skin-tight long sleeve shirt asking about a dozen women in all to take a spin with him. Even Bruce Sterling and his lady got the shivers and had to take a swirl.

Of course I got the $5 discount for appearing in steampunk attire, but promptly wrote a $15 check directly to EFF.

With this party and the Austin Party on Saturday night, I think I hit the best two parties during SXSW.
