SXSW 2008: Tommie Sunshine kicks back backstage at the Playboy Party
No, this isn't "The Dude" and it isn't the long-lost member of ZZ Top either — it's affable DJ Tommy Sunshine!

As for the sexy Indian priestess at his knees? She didn't say peep.

So we put fans on the spot down at The Levi’s Fader Fort during SXSW and ended up with solid gold quotes from the likes of Slayer and Aqua. Yikes.

Music venues aren't the only establishments plagued by long lines during SXSW; restaurants and bars can be even harder to get into. With that in mind, Chicago's hyper rhyme spitter Kid Sister avoided the mess along 6th Street and went straight to Whole Foods, where she dropped $100 worth of Blender's cash on such essentials as beer and beef jerky. She even picked up a whole ham!
