S60: There was something early on about an earthquake where the props department was, or something, so there was definitely a nod at an explanation. But still, I'm sure there's a spare snow machine somewhere.

On the musicians, that makes me feel much better, since the first time they showed the trumpet player, it didn't look to me like his hands were making the right motions to be actually playing, and that was the start of my eyerolling. I was thinking that it would have been nice if it were real, but I assumed the "musicians" were just random extras, so if it was real, that makes it a little better for me.

SXSW! Sweet!

Is this some Texas code that I'm not getting?

SXSW is a big web-geek/indie-film&music convention thing.

SXSW = South by Southwest.

megan, it's the shorthand for "South By Southwest" Festival.

See, this is what I get for avoiding Texas.

Like Susan Sarandon in Thelma and Louise ?

Exactly like that. But, sadly, without the cool car.

Hopefully also without the terminal cliff diving too.

Timelies! Got totally behind this weekend for no good reason.

S60 - Yeah, their props warehouse was earthquaked, but it's still LA, for fuck's sake. The idea that there was no fake snow to be had in HOLLYWOOD AT CHRISTMASTIME was eyerolly to the extreme. (Especially knowing that most fake snow is made out of soap, which is about a zillion times cheaper and easier to find than friggin' coconuts.)
