SXSW…
Sunday, March 14th, 2010SXSW Q&D Part 2C: MB party as shot by Dustin Downing
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009REEEEEEWIND<<<
Last night after posting about Tuesday and saying my next post would be about Wednesday I opened an email from our product shot specialist Dustin. Dustin was all over the place shooting pics for SXSW but he started at our party. He sent me the pics last night. So I’ll save the Wednesday post for Wednesday and in the meantime here should be the last installment of Massive Black party pics. Enjoy!
The Mohawk is where it all went down. When we were originally planning this party we were gonna do it at our warehouse. Even at that time I thought it would work better at the Mohawk. The layout would be perfect for this type of event. Multiple levels allowed for a carnivale atmosphere with different places to find yourself in. Then the call came in that the show would go on and it would be here. So yeah, here we go again.
The ARTISTS. Rich Doble.
The ATTENDEES
The DJ CHRIS PARSONS. I’m really glad we got this shot cuz I was too busy to get one myself. Chris did an excellent job and deserves credit.
The MODELS
The CROWD
The INTERVIEW
The JOE P… was in an extra festive- pro MadGods mood.
The ATTACK.
The CROWD again.
The BOOTH.
Los DUO.

SXSW Quick & Dirty Part 5: Inbetween Time…Tuesday is like the eye of the storm if you do the whole festival.
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009REWIND<<<
First off, I forgot to mention that MadGods helped produce a special “Texas” edition Massive Black tshirt that debuted on Sunday the 15th for the IMAGINATIONS party. Here are some pics…
And here’s a random pic from the party of one of the many Englishmen I met during SXSW wearing a ‘Fuck for Peace’ hoody he just bought. Hooray globalism!
FASTFORWARD>>>
Tuesday of SXSW is a sort of off day. Interactive is basically done and music attendees are really just starting to arrive. So this was the day to get the bus ready for the week…
A quick review of the bus before we wrapped it.
And an after pic with the ‘Guitar Hero’ girls who were randomly scooped up and brought to the shop by Jabar and Malik, from BMI, who wanted to come check things out while we got ready.
So after we got things ready we decided to roll out and just cruise around real easy like to get a feel for things and let handfulls of folks wandering around trip out on the bus. Along the way we just kept picking people up. I forgot my camera that night so not too many pics but at one point everyone in the back of the bus started taking pics of each other with their iphones for some reason. Here’s my set.
Nino.
I haven’t seen Nino in about 10 years and he was rolling through town on his way to Atlanta from Cali. We just happened to be at the same corner when he called out of the blue.
The lovely ‘T’ who I rarely see since she popped out some twins awhile back- if you can believe that. Check her out at NO COMPLY Skateshop sometime.
And Danny, who I see all the time. All I can say about Danny is he likes to put people in headlocks.
So yeah, Tuesday was just the warm up. While we were driving around we drove past the 5th Gallery which is run in part by MOFOZ VISUALZ. They took a pic of us driving by:
Clicking on the above pic will link you to their blog. Their blog has some great shots of some the better events that went down during this years SXSW. Go there to see pics of the 5TH Gallery (where MadGods Tshirts are sold…yeah-yeah) and their selection of photos of the Plutonia Party and the Tricky, Janelle Monae, Bun B, Phranchyze and Jadakiss shows. Real good stuff. ok tomorrow we’ll do Wednesday even though it’ll be Tuesday. Hang in there.
SXSW Q&D Part 2b: MASSIVE BLACK and MADGODS @ the Mohawk
Thursday, March 26th, 2009So I just did a post of a buncha pics i have from the IMAGINATIONS party but there are many more. One easy place to see more and learn more is at this link to the concept.org forums. The link goes straight to the thread for the party and has links to other photos. Here are some previews.
So I gotta say thank you to everyone who came and apologize to all those who I failed to make sure was there. I had my head up my ass trying to get ready for the week and mass emails and myspace blasts just weren’t going down like that. This party was amazing. It really was. A highlight in a career of great events for me and the best kickoff possible to the week of SXSW. Nothin for nothin this was on some nerd out shit for me and a lot of people who attended. But no joke the party was on some legendary crazy sexy cool shit. I’m still getting hit up with compliments and bewilderment. I’ll have more to post when I get the pics and info but again- if you came, saw or had any part in pulling this thing off- THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
SXSW Quick&Dirty Part 2: MASSIVE BLACK PARTY
Thursday, March 26th, 2009
Man, got started early. The fear of rain would weigh heavy on us this day. As everyone unloaded piece after piece of high end pro audio/visual gear, avoiding puddles along the way, the fear that rain might ruin the event was totally unspoken. If rain would be enough to stop the graff heads from hitting our wall then for sure it would stop the artists who had flown in from SF from setting their laptops up outside, with models standing there to render, all on equipment exposed to the elements. Little did we know- from that Sunday afternoon on, SXSW would entirely escape anything but beautiful, sunny, cool weather. God Bless Texas. Here we go.
After grabbing tee’s from the shop we headed up to uncle Mark’s to load up some extra bass cabinets for the party. The sound system was fine, but this had to be thumpin by a factor of at least 18 more inches. MadGods would make sure of that.
Got the booth setup. (more…)
