’Tis the season to be inundated with meaningful lists that arbitrarily come at year’s end (even though Austin’s Homecoming King Matthew McConaughey’s characters in True Detective and Interstellar would have you believe time is merely a trite construct, flat circle, black hole or something).

VH1’s LeAnn Rimes Cibrian Clickbait, only on DonnyRodriguez.com!

My Red Carpet Date With Perez Hilton At SXSW
(Me and Perez, guess which one of us has a million dollars in their bank account but doesn’t buy shirts.) “During all of SXSW, you couldn’t stumble downtown ten feet in any direction before hitting a venue that had swore their bar’s showcase featured the future of music and SXSW.

SXSW: Snoop Dogg Light’s Up Emo’s
“The venues ceilings vaulted sky high, but some on the ground floor may have been a bit higher. After all, marijuana is the party favor that the evenings headliner is a famous fan of.
