... now I can say, "Been There, Done That!" I recently took a trip to Austin to escape the winter blahs here in MN. And I decided to go in style - took a "Dog" (That's a greyhound bus to you uninformed), only took 30 hours to get to Austin, what a long strange trip! While I was there I rented a bike, rode around City Lake, paid homage to the SRV statute, took a dip in Barton Springs, visited clubs on 6th Street and South Congress, toured the Texas Museum, the University of Texas, and watched the city shut down after an ice storm that wouldn't even have fazed us here in MN. Oh well...Let's "Keep Austin Weird" and check out a vid by Austin's own Dale Watson, I guy I wish I would have seen down there. Can't do the embedding thing, but you can click on the link. He kind of embodies the whole Austin music experience - "Whiskey or God," what a choice!

Bending my elbow or my knees - you know you actually could do both just to be safe. Was this guy playing when you were in town but you couldn't make the show? he's got a hell of a tight band doesn't he? Charlie, you know what piece of equipment you still don't have? A steel guitar!
So, what was the dip in Barton Springs like? Is that a hot spring I hope since it was winter? :0)
