SXSW Day... uh, wait what day is it again?

OK let's keep this one simple. Paul Thorn rocks. Crucially. Part storyteller, tent revival preacher slash take the paint off the walls guitarist and bandleader, and even part boxer, Paul knows how to bring the house down. Here's Paul kicking off his set earlier tonight:


It's hard to pick the most amusing of Paul's anecdotes (there are quite a few) but I think my favorite from tonight's show was the one involving mouth to mouth resuscitation of a baby chick found the chicken coop, though I won't even try to do it justice by recounting it here.

If you weren't among the lucky few to catch him in Austin tonight do tune in to the Conan O'Brien show next week to see Paul make his late night television debut.

Paul was just one highlight of a busy night that included some great music at the Ponderosa Stomp at the Continental, followed by a tour of some well-worth-catching indie rock with Shore Fire's resident expert Carrie "yes I've seen them before they rock" Tolles (pictured below with Sonya Kitchell).

Capping things off again was another star studded (hey, look, it's the guy from Spoon!) post show-hopping party at the iLike house courtesy of our good friend Emily Glassman, which featured the surprise return of Moby on the DJ decks.



Wait, is tomorrow "Day Four" already? Actually it's later this morning isn't it...
