It’s Sunday morning and somehow I’m awake at noon to type a few words about what went down the last few days during South by Southwest. Wow where to start?
We came to Austin with Bessie the ice cream truck, two Bessita Yaris’, and a push cart. Our goal was to sling 10,000 free creams around town and my best estimate right now is we gave away just over 8000. That’s definitely a new record for a week and pushes our (rough) total, since inception, to around 80,000.
I’ll recap everything later this week once I get back to Long Beach from Austin. Gooch drove out with me but the trip back will be a thirty hour solo jaunt that hopefully won’t be too wet like the one out here.
The highlights of the week were the Nuclear Taco’s party on Monday, Parking in front of the convention center to sling cream and checking out Malajube on Wednesday, Levi’s/Fader Fort all week, Hank Sinatra’s House Party, Playboy’s late night party, Cream Vintage’s Philly Party, and Chicken Fried Chicken at Hills, Threadgills, AND Hoovers.
Extra Special Thanks to Guitar Center, Toyota/Yaris-SXSW.com and Drillteam for sponsoring us and allowing us to give away so much ice cream. Without them it would not have been possible.
We did columns for the Austin Chronicle and Jorge at Austin360 did a great video interview you should check it, if only for the Pipettes. We’ll hit cha back once I’m home. Cheers!
