It was a beautiful weekend here in Austin. SXSW was the big deal this week, so you had loads of extra people in town from all over the place. I hope no one got a bad taste in their mouths for us. Really it is hard to keep that from happening at some point. There will always be someone who has a little too much fun at some point, Guaranteed.
There was a big Spoon Show across from my building that I should have thought about.
People who went said it was great. I saw them building the stage and that was as far as I got with it. I always pass up events at Auditorium shores. Remember last years rally with Obama? I watched from my tower across the river. When will I learn?
I did not take in any shows really either. That’s a bit of a change for me. Zach and I went to Home slice pizza for one of their free shows. We meant to see Joseph Arthur, but when we got there, playing was another band that what I heard of them I actually enjoyed more. For the actual set we came to see the crowd sort of cleared a bit, I assume for better shows in other locations. So we actually got to sit and relax a bit. Yeah, Relax, I knew I was a bad idea! we both fell asleep. Good Show Huh? It was just the singer on stage with his guitar in hand, and a chick playing on some tracks with an electric. Not a very rousing rock show either. I felt old and exhausted. We left early and ordered and got a free pizza due to a mix up. All in all it was nice to be out of the house. Saturday was absolutely beautiful. I didn’t care how sickly I was feeling, I needed to see the sunshine. Earlier that day we went to the park and played with the babies and had a McDonald’s cheeseburgers in all of their horrible goodness. Good day!
Then Sunday was good too. We washed the cars and had more pizza watching family guy getting tips on how to be a great dad. Hope yours was good too.
