Pajiba-Con (PajiBacon) at SXSW


The Godtopus Invades Austin / Dustin Rowles

Trade News | March 13, 2009 | Comments (70)


We’re in Texas for the SXSW Film Festival this weekend. While we have grand ambitions to blog about our movie-going experiences while we’re here, we make no promises. Our output will probably be inversely proportional to the severity of our hangovers. We hope to catch a lot of flicks, drink an inordinate amount (we’re with the Boozehound, after all) and share our thoughts with you on those movies and the stature of the celebrities we share rarified space with. My guess is that Prisco will do it Hunter Thompson style. However, there are several Southerners on staff. When we drink, some of us may get carried away by the atmosphere of our motherlands and start shit-kicking other movie bloggers. We apologize in advance (except for you, Harry Knowles. You had it coming).

If you happen to be in town for the festival, or if you just live in the area, and you want to hang out with the crew, we will be updating our whereabouts on our respective Facebook pages (you can find our individual pages via the Pajiba Group Facebook page, or through my own page) and on Pajiba’s Twitter feed, Dan’s Twitter, Prisco’s Twitter, or even my own (yeah — fuck you. I created a Twitter account for this very reason; hypocrisy is thy name).

Scheduling should run as normal today, though we may do light posting early next week. And, because most of the staff will be in Austin today, our reviews of this weekend’s new releases won’t arrive until Monday. We apologize.

That said, please do check back over the weekend and early next week for updates from the festival.

I expect many pictures on everybody's Facebook pages. If I can't be there, I at least want to see you guys having a good time.

Posted by: Snath at March 13, 2009 10:53 AM

I'd give anything to be there. Why did our other car have to break down? It was even paid for.

Posted by: George at March 13, 2009 10:54 AM

Motherfuckers. You better not be having too much fun without me!

Oh, what the fuck do I care, I'll see y'all tomorrow.

Posted by: TK at March 13, 2009 11:04 AM

All you're doing is making me seriously crave quality Q. Screw the movies & music - I need a detailed report of every slab of ribs and morsel of brisket y'all dig into. Bastards.

Posted by: Kolby at March 13, 2009 11:04 AM

If we were there, George, I'd even buy you a drink. I've always wanted to see what Texas jails were like.

Posted by: Snath at March 13, 2009 11:04 AM

Oooooo, so very jealous of you all. Enjoy your delicious Paji-bacon, and try to convince Paul Rudd to do a body shot off of Prisco's Mutton Chops!

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at March 13, 2009 11:22 AM

Ooh! When I lived in Waco, I spent every freakin' weekend in Austin. Try the Green Mesquite, near the corner of Barton Springs Rd. and S. Lamar for some incredible BBQ. (Their Slogan? "Horrifying Vegetarians Since 1988".)
Damn, I wish I could be there.
Have a great time and take pictures, dammit. Lots and LOTS of pictures.

(By the way, several bars on E. 6th Street serve free breakfast beginning at 2:00 A.M. to help you sober up for the ride home.)

No "Miss March" review?!?! You ASSHOLES! I need advice!!

Posted by: Jay at March 13, 2009 12:02 PM

No you don't Snath...no, you don't.

Posted by: Smokin at March 13, 2009 12:06 PM

In celebration of your pending alcohol and food poisonings I will be bbqing a mess of ribs. properly. I will also be consuming copious amounts of beer as I sit on my deck and enjoy a balmy +2 weekend.

BasTerds.

Posted by: admin at March 13, 2009 12:25 PM

Sigh. I hate all of you.

I'm not that far from Austin, but I can't go this weekend. Waaahhh! SXSW is someting I've always wanted to do and now the (missed) chance to meet a bunch of great Pajibans just makes it all the more disappointing.

Posted by: Elsie at March 13, 2009 12:44 PM

You guys blow. Are there pandas in Texas? Then I'm really gonna be sad?

Posted by: jM at March 13, 2009 12:45 PM

6th Street is the best , watch out for Matthew McConaughey he always used to putt around higher than shit .

Posted by: gilp at March 13, 2009 12:46 PM

"Are there pandas in Texas? Then I'm really gonna be sad"

There aren't usually, but I'm bringing one in my suitcase.

Posted by: TK at March 13, 2009 12:48 PM

Or wrinkled peni.

I bet it's blue too. Perhaps the worlds first zombie shwang.

Posted by: admin at March 13, 2009 12:52 PM

Yes, there are pandas in Texas, jM. Giant Stetson-wearing pandas. You're gonna miss out on cowboy panda sex. For shame.

Posted by: Che Grovera at March 13, 2009 12:54 PM

Silly billies! Advice on what movies to see!

Posted by: Jay at March 13, 2009 12:58 PM

DON'T LIE JAY!!

Posted by: Julie at March 13, 2009 12:58 PM

TK, don't forget to poke holes (hee) in the suitcase. And take a fuckton of pictures so I can mock your drunken shenanigans and feel like I'm there. And good God, the food. Can't you guys Fedex me some ribs?

Giant Stetson-wearing pandas.

This makes me so sad and so happy all at once.

Posted by: jM at March 13, 2009 1:07 PM

He's Just Not That Into You. Don't forget to cut a hole in the bottom of the tub of popcorn.

Posted by: admin at March 13, 2009 1:14 PM

Yes, yes, I'm kidding of course. I don't take Pajiba recommendations.

Posted by: Jay at March 13, 2009 1:24 PM

Not to be boastful admin, but I would have to cut a huge hole in the bottom of the tub of popcorn for me if you know what I mean.

*wink wink*

Posted by: Pookie at March 13, 2009 1:26 PM

Isn't it like some event horizon when the conversation finally reaches dick bragging? And anonymous at that?

But then, I've never seen the point anyway.

Big, blue Dr. Manhattan penis.

Posted by: Cindy at March 13, 2009 1:38 PM

Not relevant to any discussion regarding peneers, except that he may mention said appendages in a few of his tunes, the great Jonathon Coulton will be at Antone's (on E. 5th Street) on Sunday night. Any Pajibans in Austin looking for larfs could do worse than to catch his show.

Is Dr. Manhattan's favorite tune "I Just Blue Myself" ?

Posted by: Spender at March 13, 2009 1:48 PM

Isn't it like some event horizon when the conversation finally reaches dick bragging? And anonymous at that?

I think an event horizon would be if the ladies started bragging about their hoo has. But I'm not sure how that would go.

Posted by: Julie at March 13, 2009 1:53 PM

And there's no point to trick bras either. Anyone the truth's gonna matter to is gonna be who sees the truth.

Am I the only one who sees this?

Posted by: Jay at March 13, 2009 1:56 PM

I can only wish the women here would start bragging about their hoo has, in fact they should be required to brag about their hoo has.

Trick bras? Please explain.

Posted by: Pookie at March 13, 2009 2:07 PM

Trick bras? Please explain.

Whatever you are, you're not that stupid.

Posted by: Jay at March 13, 2009 2:18 PM

Wil Wheaton is a follower on twitter/pajiba. Can we call Pajiba a celebrity cult now?

Posted by: Sharopa at March 13, 2009 2:25 PM

You mean all kinds of push-ups and such, Jay? I guess the idea is to entice them in with the lies, much like those hideous fish at the bottom of the ocean with the lights on their head. Except instead of enormous fangs they have crushing guilt and talk of commitment. By the time you're close enough to see the truth, it's too late.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at March 13, 2009 2:26 PM

I expect many pictures on everybody's Facebook pages. If I can't be there, I at least want to see you guys having a good time.

I second this emotion.

Posted by: figgy at March 13, 2009 2:33 PM

Photos? But I think Facebook has decency standards. You'll just have to use your imaginations.

Posted by: seth at March 13, 2009 3:01 PM

Facebook may have decency standards but we have proven way beyond a reasonable doubt that we do not.

Start pandering Pajiba Overlords.

Posted by: admin at March 13, 2009 3:13 PM

"I can only wish the women here would start bragging about their hoo has, in fact they should be required to brag about their hoo has."


When one owns such a splendid piece of equipment, one is far to secure to feel the need to brag.

Posted by: peachfish at March 13, 2009 3:18 PM

much like those hideous fish at the bottom of the ocean with the lights on their head.

Fuck off, you pilot fish!

I know your dad!


Besides, I'm looking above and below first so it'd be wasted on me anyway.

Posted by: Jay at March 13, 2009 3:27 PM

How does one brag about a hoo-ha anyway? You wouldn't want to say "Oh, mine's bigger than yours!"

Posted by: Cindy at March 13, 2009 3:35 PM

I live in Austin Texas Peachfish, I want to pass along that bit of information for whatever.

Posted by: Pookie at March 13, 2009 3:35 PM

Well Cindy I’m willing to be the judge if I’m not to busy.

Posted by: Pookie at March 13, 2009 3:38 PM

How does one brag about a hoo-ha anyway?

Taste, texture and presentation.

Posted by: admin at March 13, 2009 3:44 PM

Oh, you Pajibacon-going boys and girls, please have lots of fun for the rest of us! Remember, photos can be tastefully blurred if necessary, so please do take lots and post them on the Facebook page.

Posted by: meaux at March 13, 2009 3:48 PM

How does one brag about a hoo-ha anyway?

I can do 8000 Kegels without breakin' a sweat, honey.

Posted by: meaux at March 13, 2009 3:50 PM

Prove it.

Posted by: Pookie at March 13, 2009 4:00 PM

How does one brag about a hoo-ha anyway?

Nah nah, my hoo ha isn't all porn star flappy?

/vomits

Posted by: Julie at March 13, 2009 4:01 PM

There. Satisfied, Pookie?

(uh...let me re-phrase that....)

Posted by: meaux at March 13, 2009 4:46 PM

Oh, definitely go to Trudy's in Austin and order a Mexican Martini... or 4. You'll thank me immediately afterwards, but probably be cursing me the next morning. They're awesome, but damn do they hurt! I'm over in Houston and am jealous I can't get there for this weekend. Damn 6 month old baby needing me all the time!

Posted by: legib at March 13, 2009 7:05 PM

That was awefully impressive meaux, almost as impressive as this:

*makes figure eights in the air*

legib stop coddling the kid and go have a drink. They'll never learn if you're always doing everything for them.

Posted by: admin at March 13, 2009 7:11 PM

Ooh, bravo, admin!

Posted by: meaux at March 13, 2009 7:40 PM

Christ. The rest of us are gonna have to read SXSW in-jokes for the next six months.

Just another good reason to drink heavily.

Posted by: bucdaddy at March 13, 2009 7:43 PM

That about made me gag, Julie!

Pookie, you're married so stop acting like a slut.

Admin - those seem like things a dude would say to brag about his girl, but not things the girl would actually brag about herself. Therein lies the difficulty.

Posted by: Cindy at March 13, 2009 8:04 PM

Quite frankly Cindy, girls should brag about that kind of thing. It would make life oh so much more enjoyable.

Posted by: admin at March 13, 2009 8:26 PM

Aww, now Cindy, if you can't act like a slut on Pajiba, where CAN you act like a slut?

(eagerly awaiting answers to this hypothetical question)

Posted by: meaux at March 13, 2009 8:38 PM

Really, admin? I like a little mystery myself.

OK meaux, good point. Slut it up Pookie! Oh wait...

Posted by: Cindy at March 13, 2009 8:41 PM

Listen legib, I live in Austin and the food sucks donkey balls. Every fucking thing here is enchilada this and enchilada that. I’ve traveled extensively and the food in Austin is the absolutely fucking worst. These beer drinking, tabacky chewing, fat neck women fucking, pond swimming, lotto playing, cow tipping, big red drinking motherfuckers can kiss my soon to be going back to Miami ass.

Posted by: Pookie at March 13, 2009 10:07 PM

Pookie, I can never tell whether you are on the meds or off.

Posted by: Cindy at March 13, 2009 10:28 PM

Texas Chili Parlor. Which has great chili even if part of a really crap film was shot there. (I'm looking at *you* Quentin Tarantino.) Or you could try Uchi on S. Lamar which has good contemporary Japanese food and sushi. Wink is also tasty. Olivia, also on S. Lamar, is terrific.

And in only one of those might you get an enchilada.

Posted by: rottenkitty at March 13, 2009 10:47 PM

Ok, S. Lamar has ok restaurants.

Posted by: Pookie at March 13, 2009 11:07 PM

So what are the chances of getting some or all of you Eloquents to join me here in Birmingham this Fall for the Sidewalk Film Festival? It's pretty galdarned amazing, and I, too, would like to one day brag that I got drunk with and subsequently hooked up with one or more of my fellow Pajibans.

Do you hear that, Jeremy?

Posted by: The Pink Hulk at March 13, 2009 11:15 PM

The fuck we’re going to do in Birmingham, y’all motherfuckers still segregated. Where’s the festival going to be located, in the fucking bottoms?

Posted by: Pookie at March 13, 2009 11:23 PM

Cindy,

Off.

Someone here besides me MUST have heard Tribe 8's "Mendo Hoo-Ha," no?

No?

*feels ancient, slinks away to get smashed on bourbon*

Posted by: bucdaddy at March 14, 2009 12:32 AM

Ugh. Typical Yankee mentality. We don't actually all burn crosses and fuck our sisters here, Pookie. Well, not all the time, anyway.

Birmingham is a really decent little town, and is a far cry from the episode of "The Heat of the Night" I'm sure you have pictured in your head. We have a black Mayor (even though he's a fucktard), for Chrissakes. AND the Civil Rights Museum. Hell, some of my best friends are black!

In all seriousness, the Sidewalk Film Fest is gaining some national cred with the addition of the SHOUT! Gay and Lesbian film expo, and we get the occasional (very)minor celeb showing for premieres, like Phillip Block and Amber from BTVS.

Come on, give it a shot.

Posted by: The Pink Hulk at March 14, 2009 12:37 AM

Yep, you know you've arrived when the bone smugglers get their own booth at the film festival.

Posted by: Pookie at March 14, 2009 1:42 AM

Enjoy your little communist get-together, douchebags, I'm sure Homeland Security will be on your asses.

/hates you all

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at March 14, 2009 6:08 AM

Well, jeez it took long enough to get some "Grindhouse" bashing. I'm surprised.

Anyway, don't get yourself tangled up in arguing with Pookie.

Posted by: Jay at March 14, 2009 9:42 AM

Jay, you are so confusing. Do not let the answers you want take you from yourself. I need to go lay down, I got gas pains in my sides. Later you guys.

Posted by: Pookie at March 14, 2009 10:34 AM

I went to basic training in Alabama, and all I can remember is heat and hills and assorted misery. You really dig it down there Pink Hulk?
