I don't like crowds either so I'm happy to be wayyyy up north now.

Yeah, but if you live in Austin you can see the same bands next week at the same venue for basically nothing.

This is true.

Or you can live in Austin for nearly 2.5 years and STILL have not heard even one live music event.

WOW. That takes effort!

How did you manage that? I mean, the friggin' AIRPORT has live music!

I'm just that good.

Wait. I did hear live music the other day.

At the Potbelly Sandwich shop. He was good too. I gave him money. He gave me a CD.

I used to live right downtown so I could hear some of the music it was nice.

Austin is semi-responsible for Amy Winehouse.

On a brighter note, Johnny Cash played one year. So did the White Stripes. Many unknowns play @ SXSW and get signed.

True story!

South by Southwest USED to be the place where good local artists might get signed. It USED to be a showcase for unknown bands, usually from Texas. But then, well-known bands and artists started playing it. So unknown bands were pushed to the smaller venues and lost their audience and the point of the festival. Also, the influx of known artists has driven up the cost of wristbands to the point of being completely out of reach for the average person.

But it is good for tourism.

Well, if we're going to the Dollar Store for more DW glass(es), we might as well stop in for a yummy (margarita) breakfast at Amaya's. It's a rough life

Rough.....................

Shari and Diva, we know it's rough for the two biggest DW's to have to do that but thank you for taking one for the team.

I'll take two
On the rocks, extra dirty, with salt
For the team

We successfully avoided any SXSW traffic this weekend. It was easy-we stayed home and Spring cleaned
I need a day off from my day off. Have a great week, fellow Texans!

You're such an inspiration, Sissy!
So I'll take two boxes for the team, TOO!

Gemme · 03-14-2011, 04:44 PM

I spent roughly 6 hours crafting today and yesterday. Most of that was for shoddy work but the last stuff I did has turned out pretty well. Good enough for Ebon to ask me to paint something to put on our walls, which are still nekkid.

I have this fear that we won't hang it right and those big ole prints and frames will come crashing down.

I almost got Ebon to the grocery store today. Almost.

One day? One day I will grow up to be just like you.

Gemme · 03-15-2011, 09:05 AM

I finally got Ebon to HEB, but only by way of the OilyPup's house.

I now haz cake and that's all that matters.

Arwen · 03-15-2011, 09:09 AM

KC arrives today.
I think.
I haven't heard from him.
He doesn't know my address.
Or the gate code.
I'll be at work until 10:15 (at least).
If a tall, cute gayboy lands on your doorstep, please take care of him for me until I get back.
