pluckers, you were everything i hoped for … and more!
Tuesday, March 18, 2008 – 8:22 amWOW!
as i stood on an shaky, wooden stage last nite under a tent in a parking lot in far north Austin, and looked out onto IH-35 while we were playing Del Shannon’s ‘Runaway’, i truly felt (for the very first time in my life) like i had finally arrived.
while the sun set in the very progressive township of Round Rock, the scent of fried macaroni and cheese sticks (’FMACS’) blended with the aroma of the XXX Hot Wing Sauce.
it was so beautiful, i thought i heard a whale crying.
the pleasant conversations of the blue-collars and Dell-collars discussing conservative politics over green beer made me feel like i was back in Mayberry RFD!
GO SPURS!
and when we finished playing our show, we got off the stage and joined in with the locals in performing at least 3 brutal hate crimes against people of various ethnicities.
apparently, that is an old St. Patrick’s Day tradition in Round Rock.
in hindsight, i recall that several of the people in the group with us were of the same ethnicity as the victims of our fun, senseless, and extremely violent rampage.
i guess that is what you could call ‘Irony’.
thank you, plucker’s. thank you.
anyhoo, we’re playing a big show on friday at the mohawk.
the post below should have told you.
‘shorry folksh! parksh closhed! moosh out front should’ve told you!.’
hey! a movie quote! i should do that more often!
luv,
