Ladyfest
Yesterday, Kenny played drums for
Annie Lin at
Ladyfest in Austin. Mark, intuitively knowing that this would be an adventure worth experiencing, convinced me to come along. We weren't disappointed.
Just before we left Kenny & Mark's place, a.k.a. the cozy cabin, Kenny receives a call informing him that his sister is engaged. Still reeling from the shock, and after helping a neighbor load a 200 lb. saw into his truck, we proceeded to the Capital City. Upon arriving we were immediately lost, but we bought a map and I used my innate cartography skills to locate our venue,
The Church of the Friendly Ghost.
After eating dinner in the trolly at The Spaghetti Warehouse, we arrived, simultaneously with Annie, at our destination. As soon as Mark and were about to unload Kenny's drums it started dumping rain in that perfect Texas fashion. We finally got in and after sitting through some blistering acoustic action, Annie's band took the stage.
After the show we again got lost for a while looking for Annie's lodging. After that, at our late night dinner, she decides to stay over at the cozy cabin instead. So we head back to SA, arrive around 5:00 AM and I slept on the floor near the backdoor on four sleeping bags.
