SXSW 2006: Henry Rollins

Imagine my disappointment when I learned that the Henry Rollins session printed in the Interactive schedule was actually part of the Film festival -- and that I couldn't go. Here's how SXSW describes the event:

"Musician, author, actor, iconoclast, stand up/spoken word performer and host of IFC series The Henry Rollins Show, Henry Rollins will join us for a special, candid discussion. Rollins will sit down for a one-on-one chat with journalist Andy Langer (Esquire), to address his feelings on the current state of the media, pop culture, politics, education, and all the ties that bind them."

Hopefull, this lens will satisfy my appetite for all things Rollins... for now.

I REALLY WANTED TO GO TO THIS SESSION
BUT I COULD NOT
THEY WOULDN'T LET ME PASS
BECAUSE MY PASS WASN'T THE
RIGHT KIND OF PASS

SO I WENT TO LUNCH
PECAN STREET CAFE, GREEK OMELETTE
THE COFFEE CAKE WAS GOOD

AND THE COFFEE HOT
