I fear this blog will suffer for training for the apocolypse, which could also use some attention.
This past Sunday, while I should have been monsterbating, I was instead drinking Fireman’s Number Four at the Draughthouse, a place where Tim and I often seem to end up on warm and sunny weekend afternoons. Unfortunately, my bloodstream’s recent beer drought meant that three beers had me drunk and sassy for the remainder of the day. Still, who can argue with dreams and slow beers nestled on the same side of a plastic picnic table in the parking lot of my favorite Austin brewhouse?
There are things about Austin I will miss.
We still followed through with a planned bbq. Tim bought a $16 steak! And in my stupor I over-peppered my eggplant.
Throughout all this I learned that the movie “Hysterical Blindness” is anything but hysterical. Film makers who want to make serious movies about real life issues should not set these movies in the 80’s. Well, you can, but if I’m watching a movie that features Uma Thurman and Juliette Lewis dressed up like Madonna, I want some serious humor, or at least some girl-on-girl.
One major point of accomplishment: we bought SXSW wristbands. Every year we fail, but in this last stitch effort to suck the marrow out of austin’s brittle bones we are going to do the music “thing”. I had a look at the the band list and I’m pretty sure the $100+ price tag on the wristbands will be worth it. Among the list I’d like to check out: Alkaline Trio, Shane Bartell, The B-52s, BoDeans, Cake, The Gourds, Patty Griffin, Robyn Hitchcock, Los Lonely Boys, Modest Mouse, Pedro the Lion, Pete Yorn
Apparently Minnie Driver is a Singer/Songwriter? Who knew. There is also a band performing called “I Love Math”! I’m going to have to spend a fair bit of time listening to new music so I know what to see. I’d rather discover some new artists rather than see a bunch of bands I already know I like or have liked or am familiar with one song of theirs I like. I’m so glad this coincides with spring break.
