Freakin’ With Deacon

My Dan Deacon show recap is up on Decider Austin. http://austin.decider.com/articles/dan-deacon-at-emos,26853/

The show was incredible and served as the focal point for an altogether bad ass evening.  Pre-Deacon, I met up with some Austin homies I know from a Google Group that shares music.  They are all law students at UT and one of the law societies was throwing an end of semester party on a boat.  They invited me to stow away and so I got to enjoy a free boat cruise with complimentary beer and Mexican food.  Piracy rules!  My friend Brett smugled a life preserver off the boat under his sweatshirt and then wore it at the Dan Deacon concert. Watch out, I bet neon orange life preservers are going to be the new hipster neck wear in 2009. So long kefiyeh.  This recap is exciting too because A) it only took me 3 hours to do, which means I’m getting faster B) I feel like it is really focused and contains interesting themes that wrap around nicely C) even though having an editor is one of the best things about writing for Decider (having someone improve your writing by 10 fold is always nice) this piece went to print with almost no major modifications.  Pretty proud of that.
