Finally SXSW is in its overwhelming stage. Prior to the third
day (Thursday, March 15) it was relatively easy to just get into
a line, wait 10 to 15 minutes and be in a venue awaiting a
performance. Now that is not the case.  During the day not much
was going on. I skated to the Omni Hotel and spoke with rapper
Le1f about Pokemon and his growth as an artist, which was fun.
After that I went to mtvU's annual Woodie Awards where artists
Joey Bada$$, Pusha T, Atlas Genius and others were scheduled to
perform.  The Woodie Awards were an all-day thing (for the most
part). Doors opened at 1:30 p.m., performances began a 2 p.m.
and ended around 10 p.m.  Throughout the day mtvU workers
catered to attendees by handing out free bags of Doritos,
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, drinks and barbecue from the Salt
Lick.  The barbecue was incredible, mostly because it was free
and I had not eaten all day. I ate quickly and went to the photo
area of the event to take some pictures, and watch Joey Bada$$'s
performance.  Joey Bada$
