Bum Alley 

Bum Alley was Mad Classy before they became Mad Classy.

Mad Classy was not a music genre. Mad Classy was not a music venue.

Who were Mad Classy?

Sharkweek, Chango & JE

Where?
at Barcelona bar in Austin Texas back in 2008-2018 every single Sunday night.

The coolest people in Austin at the time could all be found there Sunday nights.

Mad classy took a hole in the wall venue that no one cared about and turned it into THE PLACE to be If you were a producer or artist here for SXSW.

Everyone who got to be a part of that will never forget it. It was something g really special.

Thank you Sharkweek, Chango and JE!
(Aka: Shane Cook, Jason Balle and Justin Emerson) and of course Garrett and Stahl!
Check out our first Flyer. “Why does it say Bum Alley?” Because that’s what we were going to go by and we were going to call the event Mad Classy. Mad Classy is the one that stuck.

What are you girls doing tonight?

“Mad Classy of course! Because it’s better then sex” What? Wdym? Is Mad Classy a place? “No. But you should come and just see for yourself. It’s at Barcelona on 6th and Brazos every Sunday night”

Skrillex walked into Barcelona during SXSW hoping Mad Classy would let him play.

Hey, where you going? “I’m going to hang out with Mad Classy and Parson. They are at the Dumpster Rave climbing trees”

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
