January 7, 2007–The Bellfuries–Texas Rollerderby at the Crockett Center, Austin, TX

A great surprise! My little coffeshop man\”s band. He had told me they were influenced by the Beatles and I told him that I didn\”t believe him with his sleeve tattoos but he wasn\”t lying. He USED to be in a rockabilly band in Orange County but then he got married, had kids, etc., etc. He told me later that they sucked ass this day because they were getting all feedback up on the stage.

January 1, 2007–Rob Roy Parnell–Gruene Hall, Gruene, Texas

Would never come here for the music but almost worth it for the old-time atmosphere — Gruene Hall is the oldest dancehall in Texas. Parnell plays slick Texas blues — my least favorite of an otherwise great genre.
