Sukiyaki Western: Django Squirt Gun Fight

Of all the sponsors of the SXSW event my favorite had to be Sukiyaki Western: Django. It is the new movie from one of my all time favorite directors Takashi Miike. It is a Japanese remake of Django which is an Italian remake of Yojimbo which is ironically a Japanese film. Yojimbo is a bad ass Akira Kurosawa film that has been remade into a bunch of bad ass movies including Fist Full Of Dollars and the highly underrated Bruce Willis film Last Man Standing. Also Django was directed by one of my other favorite directors Sergio Corbucci who is one of the most brutal directors ever. The scene in Reservoir Dogs where they cut the cops ear of is taken directly from the original Django. Anyway, I could not be more excited about this movies existence.

Anyway, the point is, this movie sponsored the event, and what they did was bring in like 100 squirt guns and it seemed like a great idea until the whole Elk Lodge where they were holding the event got covered in water and everyone started running around slipping on everything and crashing into everyone and then the cops had to come because the injury liabilities would be out of control and then people wouldn’t give up the guns and then people got kicked out and Lisa D’Amato filled up the gun with vodka and was squirting everyone in the eyes and it was amazing and madness and great. Anyway, I think the best pictures I took the whole time I was in Austin was of this squirt gun fight so I saved them for last. Check them out.

Mechanical Bull

No joke. This is a real mechanical bull. I rode it four times. The first time it could not toss me. They kept trying to toss me but I stayed on. The guy told me I was the best yet. So I got cocky. It was complete beginners luck. After that I completely sucked. I also hurt my left ball so much that I was just crawling along the ground trying not to cry. It was pretty brutal. That was like 10 days ago and I still have huge bruises all up inside my crotch. I could hardly walk the next day. Anyway, it was a lot of fun, and pretty much everyone got a kick out of seeing cute girls fall off and dudes from bands bust their nuts. These photos do not do it justice.

Fun & Games At The Sansa Playground

So here is the last day of my SXSW photos. The last day has a theme… Fun & Games! The Sansa Playground had some sort of carnival theme and there was all this stuff to do. There was a Mechanical Bull and Ski Ball and one of those things where you try to hit a bell with a mallet. There was face painting and a squirt gun fight and madness. The Bull and the Squirt Gun stuff is coming next, but you can see the rest of the madness here.

In The News:

Today we have two new signs that the world is ending.

Firstly, my greatest hero died recently. Honestly I did not even know him by name, but I do appreciate his controbution to the Earth daily. His name is Al Copeland and he founded my favorite restaurant Popeye’s Famous Chicken And Biscuits, which was evidently named after Popeye Doyle from the French Connection. This is a fact that I did not know, but am very glad to know. Speaking of the French Connection once I met someone who swore to me that he was Gene Hackman’s son, but he had never heard of the French Connection. He just kept talking to me about how he was once in a movie with Will Smith.

Secondly, giant Star Fish may or may not be taking over the world. I can’t imagine they would grow this large with out some plans of world domination. They cannot possibly have good intentions. As a man of science, I find it horrifying that we do not know about everything living in the sea. There could be Nazi’s or Communists or even bigger sea creatures living deep in the ocean training, getting ready to make us their slaves and we would never know. I have gone ahead and created a petition asking world leaders to drain the Earth so we know exactly what is down there so we can tag and number them and keep these monsters in line. Also, in a slightly unrelated note I take some issue to the creative language used in this article. Why the hell would an Associated Press article describe the giant star fish as “the size of big food platters”? What? What does that even mean. How do you define the size of a food platter… or a big food platter? And why would you associate mostly inedible mutant sea creatures with food? Bastards.

Don’t forget to sign the petition! These monsters must be stopped!

Sansa VIP Lounge

So after a weekend break I am back to my SXSW images.  After this I have three more galleries which should all be up tomorrow and we will be done with it all.  This was the area at the event I spent most of my time.  Rony was doing his photobooth back here, the product wall was in here and there was Jenga and an open bar.  There are a lot of images in here of people getting free Sansa Mp3 players.  Part of my job was to document the gifting, but most of the images are just people sort of hanging out.  Oh yeah.  There was also this really great Elk on the wall that everyone wanted a picture with.  See for yourself.

Meet Janja

Janja makes her outfits herself and they are constantly amazing.  Last Tuesday I had just returned from Texas and the last thing I wanted to do was take another picture.  I mostly took the night off but when I saw her wearing this outfit, with matching lolly pop and ice truck killeresque nails I had to break out my camera.  Check it out.  (NSFW)

Trash – 3.21.08

Seriously. I am so sorry about these floating logos in the horizontal images. I batch edited 3 fucking galleries full of images and I did it wrong. I just noticed it and I would have to reedit all the images, add the watermark again and then upload them again. So yeah, fuck it. Enjoy the floating logo.

Anyway, this was the last Trash at Home Sweet Home. It seemed like a good idea, but Trash was never as awesome as it should have been. Next week it moves to 40 C and I was going to host, but I am going to Miami instead. I will be posting the flier on here when I get it anyway.

There is a NSFW image on here, and if you like it, there is going to be a whole gallery of that girl up next week. Get excited.

Here are the photos from a fun last night at HSH.

Bootie NYC – 3.21.08

In January I reviewed Booties best of 2007 Mash Up CD.  I was contacted by the people who made said CD, who throw 7 monthly mash up parties around the globe.  They invited me to their party every month, but for whatever reason I couldn’t make it to the Jan or Feb ones… I finally got a chance to check out their March party at Element.  The crowd was not exactly my scene, but I think if I was with a bunch of my friends I could have had a really good time as the music was really fun.  100% mash ups is pretty intense.  Anyway, I only took a few photos because this girl who I used to think was totally awesome was there.  She has spent the last two months avoiding me for some unknown reason and it was extremely awkward.  So I got a few shots and left. You can see them here.

PS.  I once again apologize for the floating DBB logo.  The next set I post is going to have it too…

One Night Stand 3.20.08

Better late than never right?  These are from the club 40c which seems like it is the place to be these days.  I left in the middle of this party for a few minutes and I never came back, so there are a few less photos than normal.  My bad.  Check the ones I got out here.

PS.  Why is my logo floating in these horizontal images?  I have no fucking clue, but I am pissed off about it.
