A lovely night for a near capacity crowd at Stubb’s. The two bands together are absolutely fabulous, dynamite harmonies, and amazing songwriting. Calexico from Tuscon, AZ, captures the border sound brilliantly, and the Iron and Wine set, wow, what can I say? Getting to the gig a bit late, and so many people being there, [...]
Hmm, a big Haloween costume content in a big tin all in wonder bar proved to be an interesting night from a sociological point of vew. Graham’s in Pflugerville, a 10 minute drive north claims to have ‘something for everyone.’ It has a big f*ckoff country bar, a bar where chicks dance on stage like [...]
Monster Organ? Yes! — From Fanefare for the Common Man to Toccata and Fugue in D minor, the thrills came all night long at the University Presbyterian Church in Austin Texas. Check out the organ, a small one in comparison to Bates Performance on UT Campus, but still massive enough to vibrate the windows with [...]
Wow! Gotta love the 14+ hour days, the ones that just leave you fighting for air, wondering who and where you are. Since moving to a new local, me and Jenny and the revolving crew of people who come by engage in typical patio banter and sing with our god aweful voices. Mike P and [...]
As Haloween approaches, I’m finally able to make a trip to the House of Torment, Austin’s scariest haunted house. You ask where I was? I was behind Nate-Dogg the entire time, because I’m a total Panzy. At one point this clown jumped out from under this table and scared the Bejesus out of me! I [...]
Mike P is damn good friend who puts a lot of things into perspective for me in a code centric, logical sorta way. As we drive home from dinner at Bob’s place tonight, we begin talking about how to embed a .net server control (specifically a Calendar of Events) into the page base of an [...]
Lordy Lordy, low and behold what one will find when you clean your cluttered cubicle, a Spain Log from years and years ago. Like a dork I wrote in my ‘journal’ the entire trip, and plan to put the trip to pictures sooner than later. One of the many highlights of the trip was Manuelabor [...]
For the short attention spanned, this was the first weekend with Benny and Jenny. For the first time in about 8 months, I actually went grocery shopping, washed my sheets, and shopped for a few Hugo Boss (got to support the heritage) suits on Ebay for potential upcoming job interviews. Here’s the way I’ve been [...]
Always my FAVORITE place to go in Austin, ha! Tonight Ashley, Jenny, Mike D. and I decided to brave it. Celebrating my friend Brittani’s birthday, and get this, she has a boyfriend named Justin! YIPPIE, funny stuff The bands were good, had a few wife beaters (Stella Artois), and decided to hit the road. Here’s [...]
A day of double moving. That’s right, we’re movin’ on up, first and foremost Mr Mike Drizzle, moving from the outhouse to the penthouse in his lavish 100+ 3 bedroom condo. Just ask him how he got there, and he’ll apply some kinda filipino ebonics and he’ll say, I’m good at discrete math, C++ and [...]
