Go Here to check out our video which we are hoping will win has won! the Grand Prize in this year’s SXSW Uh Huh Her contest. Or see it here:
I first saw Uh Huh Her at the Mercury Lounge in August of ‘07, with Carly, Heather and Haviland. Cait was also at this concert, but I didn’t see her there, ’cause we didn’t know each other yet. Now we’re friends, which just goes to show: Uh Huh Her is the fabric of our lives (and OurChart.) Following the Merc Lounge show, Carly and I ducked into an alley: Carly fed me vodka right out of the bottle, then we proceeded to valiantly talk gibberish to Leisha. Actually, I talked gibberish, Carly mostly came off as very “cool.” I said “I’m a guestbian!” like a douchetard.
In December of ‘07, Alex/Semicolon and I caught the legendary band at the GO NYC Magazine Anniversary party. Also at said party: a girl I knew through my blog who coincidentally was friends with Alex’s friends who she met through her other lesbian friend which goes to show AGAIN … Uh Huh Her is the fabric of our lives.
Cait and myself, for doing it. And Cait for pushing me to succeed when I wanted to give up ’cause Final Cut is hard. In fact, if Cait hadn’t independently plugged on and learned Final Cut kinda … and then forced me to learn it kinda … I never would’ve made it kinda.
B.: For filming almost the whole thing & carrying the camera.
Crystal: For filming, appearing in the video, and actually going to Uh Huh Her shows with us.
Stef: For throwing up in the bar and getting kicked out, ’cause that was really funny.
Carly: For teaching Cait how to use Final Cut and polishing the rough hodgepodge of nonsense I’d put together into a shimmering final project. Following her meeting w/Carly, Cait texted me that Carly had “saved the empire!”
Tinkerbell: For good cheer.
Hey, Girl-With-The-Friend-Whose-Mom’s-Couch-is-on-Layaway: I hope everything works out.
Uh Huh Her: for rocking.
