Texas Relays Events in Austin This Weekend!

Man! It hits me every freakin' year. Just a couple weeks after SXSW ends, the Texas Relays start. That's way too much partying in two weeks time for even the most fervent college age spring breaker, let alone my old ass. But I'ma try and see what I can see. Rest assured these flyers only represent a small percentage of what's gonna be on and poppin' in the city this weekend.

I heard Bizzy Bone and Hurricane Chris has a show at the Expo Center and Bavu Blakes will be live in concert at The Highball. Need to find those flyers.

Also Happy Easter. Click all the flyers to see them full size!

First up a benefit for the big homey J. Kapone. As some of you may know, he was picked up on federal charges as part of a bit of a sting in Austin recently. Well J. was picked up in Memphis, but it was part of a bigger thing. Help the man out, he, like everyone else in this world, deserves a fair trial.

Erykah Badu Pushes the Envelope w/ New Video 'Window Seat'

Ya gotta love Dallas born Erykah Badu as she pushes the envelope to the extreme with her latest video. Aside from her stripping down naked which she admitted was very scary and has resulted in everyone talking, Badu leaves us with a surprise somewhat disturbing ending which many think mean character assasination and for us not to 'group think'.

My SXSW 2010 Photos y mas

Well yeah man, it's true, it really went down.

Looking back, I really wish I could have taken more photos, but in fine Austin Surreal form I set out to the streets with a half full camera battery and dead ass flash batteries, and a flip cam I never took out of my back pack, and well, this is what we've got.

But oh what a year. I'ma holler at my bro OG over at Luxury Mindz and get some more photos for y'all, cuz, man, shit, it really went down. Apologies to anyone I didn't catch...

The week started out pre-SXSW Music with a gang of Interactive and film events, but I broke out the camera at the Gaslamp Killer joint at Beauty Bar last Monday, cuz that's where we were assembling the troops, getting our bearings for the week, so to speak.

DJ Stef done laced us with some SXSW Videos!

Man every year since I started working full time for SXSW I say "Here's some photos/videos and I'll write a bit more later." Well honestly, I don't know if I am going to write anymore, but I have a handful of photos to post and here's some videos my favorite DJ in the world, DJ Stef done gave me from her flip cam. Peep em out, there's so much to tell, but whatever, this is a good start. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen man, it was MAGICAL! Hip-Hop at SXSW is not going to stop...
