Last week, we brought you Chad Brown’s recap of the wild, crazy, and completely overwhelming experience he had at SXSW 2012. But in truth, that was only half the story.

We thought these photos were significant enough to merit their own separate post, and so we are presenting those to you now. Feast your eyes:

LIL WAYNE (New Orleans, LA):

SAY ANYTHING (Los Angeles, CA):

GIRLS (San Francisco, CA):

EMINEM & 50 CENT (Detroit, MI):

BRIGHT MOMENTS (New York, NY):

DALE EARNHARDT JR JR (Detroit, MI):

CLOUD NOTHINGS (Cleveland, OH):
