Nazgul or tortilla machine?

The big thing in Austin for the past week has been SXSW. Since Melissa is big into music it's been a pretty busy couple of days for her. She decided this year to pony up the money for a wristband, which seemed to have a RFID tag in it BTW, and she got a pretty good amount of use out of it. Hopefully she'll post a comment and let all of you who are interested know who she saw and what she thought. The only portion I saw was the Saturday show at Stubb's from 9 to 12 which included Aimee Man and The Wallflowers. Don't know much Aimee Man so not much to say about that. They didn't have her mike up loud enough and the crowd kinda heckled her so that wasn't the best experience, but she did seem like someone I would enjoy listening to. The Wallflowers put on a good show. They are a band I like listening to but wouldn't obsess about following. And yes old friend of Cullen's whose name I can't remember, they did play "One Headlight."

Friday night while Melissa was out, Jerry and I got some GT4 time in which, as always, was fun. Here are a few observations from the evening. The race car you win from the slipstream battle is fun to smash your opponents with. The Cadillac Cien seems like a car that should hang with the big boys, but for some reason, we can't get the sucker to turn, though we did do the quarter mile in under ten seconds. Making perfect turns and doing a perfect lap are difficult meaning gold is hard to get in the license tests. 4 AM is too late to be doing anything. And in a slight tangent, I like oil paintings.

What else did we do this weekend? Ate at LaMo. Ate at Schlotsky's. Got some painting in at Taylor's. The place is really coming along. Spent some time in the yard getting everything ready for spring. Caught up on TV, so much so that we joined Netflix. Oh and we went to Mozart's with Jerry for a lazy Sunday sunset snack. All weekends should end like that.
