I just had to share this image, snapped last night at Vino Vino in Austin, where Hammond B-3 player Mike Flanigin and Gary Clark Jr. have been performing on Mondays. To my palate, Gary is one of the greatest blues players in the world today and to get to hear him play in small room like Vino Vino, where you hear his amp and Mike’s Leslie speaker unmitigated (i.e., not pumped through a PA), is simply one of those life-changing musical experiences. Add to the mix that the show is FREE and that you can order a killer bottle of wine (we drank the Bea Santa Chiara to the warm tones of Gary’s Gibson). If you know of any other place in the world beyond Austin, Texas where such an incredible confluence of sensuality occurs, please let me know…
In other sensual news…
Our good friends the Housewrights and I were treated to Tracie P’s amazing carbonara last night before we headed over to the show…
Did I mention the girl can cook?
In other other news…
Tracie P and I will be joining my erstwhile bandmate Björn Türoque tonight at the Highball in Austin for the Air Guitar Championship competition (regional edition).
See you there?
Tracie P’s is the best Carbonara I have ever had. Ever.
nuh-uh…really? aw, thanks ace! when are y’all comin over?
I think you may have mentioned Tracie P’s cooking prowess once or twice before. Dang, that carbonara looks tasty!
he’s totally biased and some may argue, obligated to to such effusive compliments.
Well, I guess saying nice things about your other half is part of the deal… But in this case it looks as if he has a fair point!
Appears like lots of xbox enthusiasts here, I am a fan too and love to play video games… my girlfriend says I play too much, but man it’s so enjoyable. I’ve been playing modern warfare and halo 3 for months and can’t stop! What would you fellow gamers recommend? Anyhow, seems like a sweet website, is this wordpress? I’ve made a few pages myself and it’s not easy. Cheers for taking time to post.
