Actually, we played a block over from Ocean's Eleven, at Club Deville. The organizers of our non-official SXSW showcase were praying for 200 people to show up and we had over 400 so it was a rousing success. Stayed through Sunday and saw a buttload of great music, mostly for free as we didn't go to any of the "offical" showcases. Not much point as a majority of 'em are signed acts that'll be coming through on tour at some point. OE's decor is great but there I had the absolute worst excuse for a Mai Tai I have ever had in my entire life. I first asked for a Suffering Bastard and the man-child bartender just stared at me with a Bambi-in-the-headlights look of non-comprehension, then gave me this story of how "the guy that had opened the place took his drink recipe book with him and we're not allowed to make his drinks." Uh, unless "the guy" was Don the Beachcomber himself back from the grave, I think ya can whipped out the Grog Log and make a decent drink. Very disappointing. If you ever want to play over in Tampa Bay, please contact me as I gots mad connections out the proverbial wazoo, venues, radio, press etc. tweedtone http://www.vodkanauts.com http://www.barelypink.com [ Edited by: tweedtone on 2003-04-10 14:08 ] [ Edited by: tweedtone on 2003-04-10 14:31 ]
