SXSW 2009 Parties, Part 13: Day Parties on FRIDAY

So last night, R. and I are biking home from downtown, and he goes:

"It's so funny to watch you ride a bike."

"WHY?!" (HUFF, HUFF) "Is it-" (pant, LOUD SIGH, pant!) "-because I suck" (WHEEZ, huff huff) "so much?"

"Um, yes. Yes, that's the reason."

Harumph. Anyway, I've got five tips for your Friday SXSW experience.
