SXSW - day 6

I'll revise this later when there's a little more time but here's the basic rundown of Friday night.

Candice (R-Bar) singer/songwriter(?) girl with acoustic guitar who messed up a lot and forgot words but in a cute, giggly way. sat by window opened onto 6th street and watched lots and lots of people go by.
Flamingo Cantina line to see The Bus Driver. This is where I left Brendan to go check the line at Exodus.
The Crimea (Exodus) bland. This is where I realized I'd left my ID and ATM card at home. Crap. This severely hampered my options for the evening.
Crown City Rockers (Exodus) The Cure meets U2
Turned away at Soho Lounge for The Silos
Turned away at Friends for ZZZZ
Eilean Rose (B.D. Riley's) acoustic singer/songwriter (kansas/bucknell game too)
Turned away at Elysium for Rezillos/Shonen Knife
Caught a little of the Raveonettes (Emo's main stage) by mistake. They sounded good though.
Exene Cervenka (Emo's Jr.) doesn't look so hot these days but still gets it done onstage. still great. Met this guy and girl so I could get a beer. Turns out girl grew up on L.A.F.B. and we shared an orthodontist. Small world, no?
The Queers (Emo's Jr.) green day ripoff (opened with rock 'n' roll radio) from portsmouth N.H.
Turned away at one door for The Parish to see what I thought was Centro-matic. Made it in through the other door. Turned out to be Pretty Girls Make Graves. Good rocking punk-ish type stuff.
Went to pizza place to get a cheese slice (only had $2.50 in pocket) and Brendan just happened to be there too. Met back up with ease.
