I might not have seen Moby or Lou Reed or any other notables, but if I were on a scavenger hunt I think I’d be winning. So far at South By I’ve seen:
Five guys dressed in all white standing on street corner.
A little person pushing another little person in a wheel chair.
A parade of Asian drummers down 6th street.
Two clown minstrels.
A white guy with dreadlocks (oh wait, I’m in Austin, that’s not strange). But with momentum like this I’m sure I’ll find more. Now all we need is a point system… — Dusti Rhodes
