The LP Questionnaire/Pick Three - Jesse Elliott of These United States

tUS-2498(2).jpg
So, I swear I'm totally not trying to pimp Kentucky or anything by featuring another Lexington artist today. And really, who knew Lexington secretly housed so much talent? The one time I went there it was raining and so I, err, left.

In reality, the lads from These United States hail from both DC and Lex so maybe I'm safe from accusations of homeland nepotism.

Cue the Connections

QR-Code_Hands2_0.jpgEach year, SXSW strives to make connecting with the diverse level of attendees easier. This goal has lead to the integration of a Quick Response (QR) Code to each registrant badge. Working in conjunction with my.SXSW, our social networking platform, these special bar codes allow registrants to easily connect with one another. The codes will serve as a real life "follow me" button for my.SXSW on each registrant badge.

The LP Questionnaire/Pick Three - Kevin Avery

avery.jpegIt's a good day over here at LPQ Headquarters as today's second edition features comedian Kevin Avery, a regular opener for Dave Chappelle and David Allen Grier.

His impressive resume includes a stint in a boy band and time spent as a kid rapper. His nickname was "Kevy Ray Supreme."

He can recite all the Presidents of the U.S. in order in under 30 seconds, but says, "Do not challenge me on this."
