so… it’s been a week… I’m going to go ahead and blame my lack of commitment to writing about the kid on the fact that we have been gearing up for a very exciting weekend here in ATX. But, mom and dad, I did want to say hi… in case you check the blog from [...]
Wanderlust – a weekend of hippies doing yoga and listening to some pretty decent music. Marc, me and the Chowanecs are neither hippies, nor very into yoga, however, we found our place among the few music nerds who came to hang out mid-mountain at Squaw, drink beer and listen. On Friday we all got babysitters [...]
We went to a show on the Monday night before we headed to CA. We rode our bikes. Arrived early for a pre-show Lonestar in an icy-cold backroom with a few old chairs at The Independent. We sat and talked like we hadn’t done in a long time. One beer became two while we listened [...]
Dear OCMD readers who have stumbled upon this site from Julie’s birthday post, I am so terribly sorry to disappoint you. I know that with a URL including the word hellraiser you were certain you would find posts about obscure experimental psych rock bands. Unfortunately this site is more dirty diapers than Dirty Projectors. We [...]
The Chows and Chuck arrived on the same flight from San Francisco Wednesday night, and seeing as how they were on CA time they had no problem eating a little, having some beers and chatting for hours. I, on the other hand, had already been asleep for an hour, so said a quick hello and [...]
Better late than never… The first day of SXSW (last Wednesday) was just Marc and me – the rest of our posse didn’t arrive until Wednesday night, giving us a chance to take a day off, together, without the babe – the first… ever? We headed to the Mohawk to see Telekinesis!, Kevin Devine, Here [...]
I just stole some great photos from Heidi, Joe and Gus – from their trip out here: And that’s all you’re going to get today, because it’s 2 days ’til sxsw…you’re lucky I’m even talking to you, internet. Listening: The Airborne Toxic Event (and as many other bands as we can from our sxsw list)
SXSW is getting close. We RSVP’d to our first dayshow yesterday. Marc can barely contain himself. John, Kara and the boys will be joining us this year as well as Chuck – it just wouldn’t be SXSW without him. Marc just sort of assumes that I will be staying home every evening to tend to [...]
Marc and I went to our first show post-pregnancy, without the kid. It was my parents last babysitting gig for a while so, we took advantage and stayed out until after 1am. We went to Thai food with John, Kara and Chuck and then to see Built To Spill. They are one of my all-time [...]
We’re driving back to the Lewis’ house from Reno after seeing Neko Case at 11:30pm and the kid is OVER it. We drove up to Truckee around 4pm got to their house, fed and changed him and hit the road again to get to the show. Tari brought an awesome picnic, only half of which [...]
