The rapper performed twice Saturday at the annual South By Southwest music conference and festival, dominating the final night of the live music event mostly populated by lesser known acts. In an expected but not officially announced show earlier in the evening. West performed beneath a tent as part of a party sponsored by Fader Magazine and Levis. He put on a lengthy show, mostly alternating songs with lesser known rappers from his G.O.O.D. Music record label (it stands for "Getting Out Our Dreams"). "It feels so good to rock for you tonight," said West, who also streamed the concert online West was clearly out to promote his label's talent, including rappers Consequence and Kid Cudi, who performed his hit "Day 'N Nite." But the concert culminated with cameos from West's fellow Chicago rapper Common and the R&B singer Erykah Badu, both of whom were cheered wildly by the thousands in attendance. West, who noted that Fader was the first magazine to put him on the cover, may have been feeling nostalgic. He played a number of "old school joints" from his first album, 2004's "College Dropout." A few hours later, West also made an unexpected appearance at Perez Hilton's party, held a few blocks north in downtown Austin in a converted grocery store. Hosted by the celebrity gossip blogger, the party has become one of the bigger private events at XSXW. West performed a handful of songs (this time without guests) and said he respected Hilton (whose real name is Mario Lavandeira) for being "real" even when he had made fun of the rapper. Hilton was redeemed after another performer, the British rapper Lady Sovereign, canceled on him. An angry Hilton — who said Lady Sovereign was a late scratch due to sickness — bragged that his slandering of Lady Sovereign would be big news. On Wednesday, West was charged with misdemeanor battery, grand theft and vandalism over the destruction of a paparazzo's camera at Los Angeles International Airport in September. 1012 Emery Rd 785.841.3800 www.westhillsku.com West Hills apartments pet friendly near campus KU bus route coffee bar onsite laundry all electric updated summer leases walkin closet huge floorplan WORD LIST R L C L I K D S C R I M H Y W S I E I U N U N C T U R L A S R L U B U M P E C D L D L U T R S U L M C L N A U N K P C N E S R E I U I I D E I M E L E R N R A R H U S I N A L P R O O L F E G U H R C C E C I U E E P F U E L F L R L E C T E A W I M C N T O A L M I E E S B L F T T E S E A S R A B E E F F O C P E N N O L (W E S T H I L L S) T O (A P A R T M E N T S) O C U P D A T E D L F C A S E C HOROSCOPES 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

POLITICS POLITICS Biden jokes about Obama at Gridiron Club digner WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden poked fun at Barack Obama's do-no-wrong reputation as he spoke at an annual white-tie gathering of journalists and top officials Saturday night. Obama, the first president in decades not to attend the Gridiron Club dinner during his first year in office, couldn't make it because he was busy preparing for Easter, Biden said. "He thinks it's about him," Biden said of the holiday. Obama spent the weekend at the Camp David presidential retreat in the Maryland mountains with his family. The dinner, the journalistic club's 124th such event, was an opportunity for reporters to make fun of public figures. It also allowed prominent politicians to needle each other. In a sendup of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., someone impersonating the top Democrat in the House sang "Imperial Girl" to the tune of Madonna's "Material Girl." Associated Press
