when my time comes
And just like that, it's Sunday.So at the end of Saturday, we wandered over to Lustre Pearl, one of my very favorite bars in Austin. They were having a bunch of folky bands and then ending the night with Dawes and Deervana (Deer Tick playing a full on set of Nirvana). Yeah, I was ready for Deervana. I had heard a few people make snarky comments about seeing a "cover" show at SXSW, but these guys do *amazing* covers, and I never got to see Nirvana as a kid, so I was there.It was one of the very best shows of the week (and it was after midnight and I still haven't gone to bed, so this totally works as a Sunday photo...). Trashed guitars, trashed drums, crazy mosh pit, all kinds of stage diving, beer and liquids being spit on everyone... total mayhem -- but in the very best way.I tried to shoot it as best as I could, but between protecting my camera gear and holding my spot up front, the images were just OK. So instead you're getting a shot of the Dawes finale right before Deervana when Matt and John joined the band on stage for "When My Time Comes." If I ever see Dawes again (OK, that's stupid. When, not if) I will be really sad to go back to hearing the original version of this song sans Matt and John.Also? If anyone out there can score me one of the t-shirts from Deervana, I will be your best friend forever.UPDATE: Ok, kids, ALL my SXSW photos are up. Some days are better than others, the last one being among my favorite. You can see them here:Day oneDay twoDay threeDay fourDay five
