And...

LeVar Burton!

Both were doing a Q&A at the Sennheiser+Paste Magazine Interactive Studio and Lounge. LeVar was really laid back and spoke about a new Reading Rainbow application for the Ipad. He also spoke about Star Trek and his new show on TNT.

Fred talked about Portlandia and how lucky how felt to be as successful as he has been. He really worked the crowd and at one point went through the crowd to go to the bar and give the bartenders hugs and photos. As he was making his way back to the stage he crossed through where I was standing so I had to move out of his way and he sort of shimmied his way against me to get up there. He's rather lanky and soft-spoken in person. Seemed genuinely nice though.

Also, Amanda Palmer was there and she was being her usual amazing self.

Are there any other ONTDers who are attending sxsw? Have you guys seen any celebs? I also saw Mae Whitman on South Congress.

I was about to say, "How sad for Levar Burton, he needs to just let it go and move on....." but if they're still doing apps and stuff for kids that's cool.
saltonmycuts 15th-Mar-2013 04:56 am (UTC)
i heard LeVar Burton is rude and he was rude to kids.
elementalamber 15th-Mar-2013 03:37 pm (UTC)
Really? That'd be so sad. :( I've got several friends who have met him, at cons and in everyday encounters, and they all said he was wonderful.

I have been so out of the loop this SXSW, but I have a whole group of college friends coming in tomorrow, and now I need to figure out some things to do. Any recommendations?
istya Re: SXSW people/austinites15th-Mar-2013 05:02 am (UTC)
If you have nothing better to do, my bf's band is playing the Equal Vision Records showcase at House of Blues around 2.
magwildwood Re: SXSW people/austinites15th-Mar-2013 05:06 am (UTC)
Fun, what's the band/genre of music?
kurtvonnegut Re: SXSW people/austinites15th-Mar-2013 05:07 am (UTC)
lol y wouldn't u mention the band
hey_jealousy Re: SXSW people/austinites15th-Mar-2013 05:05 am (UTC)
If you're looking for south by stuff to do take a look at showlistaustin.com for free day and night shows. Follow @sxshhh on twitter, they post about free stuff, how long lines are, etc. or check the SXSW tag in general.
indieheadphones Re: SXSW people/austinites15th-Mar-2013 05:14 am (UTC)
You should definitely go to the Divine Fits/Jim James/ The Flaming Lips show at Auditorium Shores tomorrow at 5. It's free and it's the Flaming Lips.
dracopet Re: SXSW people/austinites15th-Mar-2013 05:28 am (UTC)
Free beer and bands during the day at the Urban Outfitters on the drag
brrylimesublime Re: SXSW people/austinites15th-Mar-2013 05:40 am (UTC)
If you're a designer (or your friends are) Flatstock is free at the Convention Center. Tons of really amazing posters and t-shirts for sale from $5 and up. Or at least you can go in and get a beer and wander around.

Smashing Pumpkins are doing a secret show, but obviously not sure where that is exactly yet.
fwee_prower 15th-Mar-2013 04:58 am (UTC)
which one is you OP
indieheadphones 15th-Mar-2013 06:28 am (UTC)
I'm the one in the first pic with Fred Armisen. My bf is in the pic with LeVar. :)
babydontsweat 15th-Mar-2013 04:58 am (UTC)
the reading rainbow theme brings me to tears
adb7 15th-Mar-2013 04:58 am (UTC)
I told myself I was going but I haven't been south of MLK since SXSW started lol.
istya 15th-Mar-2013 04:59 am (UTC)
LOL for a hot second, I honestly considered that the guy in the first pic with the hat/glasses was my boyfriend. Then I remembered that he doesn't get to go to any of the cool events.

Glad you're having fun bb. I wish I was there!

The last season of Portlandia is my favorite season of TV so far this year.
