Exhaustin' Austin.

Back from the TX. A lovely, lazy, long weekend. Got to see my friend V play in some non-BSOJC groups -- Latin and country. An all-upright bass weekend, too. No cooler instrument exists.

What-all we did: Met Alejandro Escovedo at Antone's; chilled to some badass soul/dance at the Continental Club; lotsa motorcycle rides, crusing SoCo; played tourist (bats under the overpass, state capitol, O. Henry's house); watched a disturbing Fellini film ("Le Notti de Cabiria") and went to "Darjeeling Limited"; found out I'm surprisingly good at pinball, especially when the machine freaks out and sends out five-six balls at a time ...

What we didn't quite get around to this time around: Riding one of his antique tandem bikes; teaching me to play the cursed "Smoke on the Water" on bass; heading down to the surf.

Now to buckle down and get my medical info in order for PC service.

And looking forward to Tucson in November.


Song of the day: "To Live is to Fly," Cowboy Junkies

To live is to fly
Low and high
So shake the dust out of your wings
and the sleep out of your eyes ...

Welcome home, doll! Knew you'd love Austin. Tucson awaits you, and I can't wait to toast a margarita in your honor! Much love!
