It was Day 7 of SXSW.  M and I were at the one scheduled show for Matt and Kim.  Are we fans or stalkers at this point?  Maybe a little of both?  Anyways, I got to the show early to insure that we were  close enough to eat their faces.   I waited for M by the right speaker (I usually grab a spot by the speaker.  We always pack earplugs and the speakers on the sides of the stage are a good reference point if someone is looking for us).

Post SXSW I was reading Pitchfork and noticed this in their write up of the show…

Matt: “I want to thank the people sitting outside who couldn’t get in, you guys rule.” Then Kim: “I want to thank all the people up front, you guys are incredible.” Everyone was thanked. But there was an ever-so-brief interruption to happy-time– apparently there was something wrong with Matt’s monitors. “I hate to do this during a show but…” he said, requesting a quick adjustment. Monitor problems are common, but Matt knows how it looks when people on stage bitch about their sound. So he offered a snippet of the opening “Sweet Child O’ Mine” lick while the monitors were spruced up. No down time, ever.

Pitchfork missed something in their write up.  I recall Kim saying that there was a certain someone who had the best seat in the house and they didn’t even pay.  Who could that be?

While M and I were stuck in the mosh pit, 10HDG was on top of a dumpster (full of cardboard).  He had the best seat in the house.

More later on the Matt and Kim show.  For now you can check out their video of Daylight.  I bet they were wishing the dumpster they climbed into was full of cardboard and not trash.
