as if you needed other reasons to go to SXSW...

swiped from city pages:

"Off-the-beaten-path show of the week: CXNEXSEXSW, a non-SXSW event which was held in a conference room in the Capitol Place Hotel. The description on showlistaustin.com promised an indoor slip 'n' slide and generic cereal bar. When I got there, the inflatable slide was covered in mustard. The floor was strewn with balloons. There were boxes of cereal, cups of pudding, and cookies laid out on a table, as well as big bowls of Fruit Loops mixed with shrimp and sardines. These kids were weird and I liked that. Emperor X turned out to be one guy who played a solo set on acoustic guitar. For his big finish, he jumped onto the deflating slide, popping balloons and sending splatters of mustard flying. I still have yellow spots on my jeans."

i went to this for about 45 seconds, as i was unable to keep a straight face. that and the place smelled like rotting seafood and vaseline.

it should be noted the original description promised "an erotic Microsoft PowerPoint presentation" as well. but who could say no to a free generic cereal bar?
