SXSW 2010 Tour Diary, Day 2: White Mystery

Wednesday, March 17th (first report):

[Alex White of White Mystery just sent in a brief update on her SXSW experiences:]

1pm Wake up and enjoy the sunny balmy weather on Dmiritri and Paloma's porch.

Tip for tours: always bring your own breakfast! I pack oatmeal in a ziploc and a bag oranges to keep immunity high when traveling.

2:45pm Meet up with Mickey and Skate.

Update, 5:15pm
Spent the morning and made it to Beerland for Awesome Color and The Spits. "Let us play your party" sent the tiny dark room into fits at 4pm-ish and it's about 80 degrees. The sun washes over me and the Austin weather is medicinal.

There's a mix of short skirts heart shaped glasses and shamrock shirts!
