Miranda Studios — the hardest-working videographer in San Antonio — shot a sweet video recap of my recent Second Saturday art show at LoneStar Studios. Check it out! (And watch for the amazing Marvel Films-style intro, which might be the coolest thing I’ve ever seen).
Everyone involved with the event did an awesome job, and they deserve a huge “thank you” on the internets: LoneStar owner Sean Fitzgibbons, Current publisher Michael Wagner, Current editor Greg Harman, Chuck Maurer at Alternative Ink (who produced the gorgeous prints), Andy Benavides, Say.She.Ate gourmet food truck, Rocker Dogz, Nicolette Good and Jesse Basham, Travis Simpson, my bandmates in Bad Breaks, illustrator Alex Fine (who drew the kickass Jackie Earle Haley/Rorschach illo featured in the video), and Justin Parr. And, of course, big thanks to everyone who came to the show — especially if you went home with a cover.

SXSW 2011 is here, and I’m headed up to Austin to take part in all the musical madness. Still finalizing my schedule, but I’m definitely going to check out Mexicans With Guns (aka Ernest Gonzales, left) and Piñata Protest (right), two local San Antonio acts that are getting national attention and have a few SXSWs under their belts. I did interviews with them for our SXSW(XSA) preview — you can check out my Q&A with Mexicans With Guns here, and my interview with Alvaro Del Norte (lead singer/accordionist for Piñata Protest) here. Keep an eye out for more coverage and blogs from SXSW at blogs.sacurrent.com.
