SWAGGSM Presents… Perez Hilton’s “One Night In Austin”
I had a chance to partake in this event once again this year, if you guys remember Kanye West was the surprise guest last year, this year we were greeted by not only Snoop Dogg but a reunited Hole (did that sound right?). One thing is for sure Perez Hilton knows how to throw a party. Unlike last year, my credentials got me behind the scenes this year with pretty much all access in and around the party, including the “red carpet” stop in the green room where each performer stopped by to get thier picture taken. Aside from the two headliners we also got a taste of groups such as Marina and The Diamonds, Alphabeat, Estelle, and Macy Gray (yeah that Macy Gray). The festive crowd who braved frigid temperatures just to get into this party was in full party mode once inside, enjoying complimentary concoctions from Tito’s Vodka. With dance party DJ’s A-Track, JD Samson of Le Tigre and my new favorite DJ group Mia Moretti spinning in between sets the crowd saw great performances by all the main stage attractions. After all the hustle and bustle of the week, this was a great way to end my 2010 SXSW experience.
