DN SXSW2011: Turkey Bowl – Kyle Smith
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Kyle Smith’s Turkey Bowl is a comedy about ten friends who come together for an annual game of touch football and engage in more verbal sparing than they do plays.

SXSW: By the Numbers
If I’d have shot my view of Austin during SXSW all you’d get is a succession of queues, cinema screens and more than my fair share of Alamo $5 chocolate shakes.
