All is cool in Austin
We’re rocking out to some ancient Archers of Loaf track at the moment here on the 18th floor of some building in downtown Austin, Texas. Speaking of Archers of Loaf, we’ve been partaking of some of the great live music here. Our favorite so far is Ruthie Foster. Ruthie gave a great performance the other night. She’s somewhere between alt-country, folk, and r&b. Her music made us feel good. She’s got a bassist and a great slide guitarist backing her up. Very good stuff. Ruthie records for the Blue Corn label.
As shown in the photo above, we were dancing the night away with fellow conference attendees at the University of Texas alumni center. Duck Soup, a local dance band, did a fine job of providing the entertainment.
I’m hoping to get to Waterloo Records in the next day or two.
At any rate, 6th Street is where the action is. We had dinner here, and we’re having breakfast here. If you’re looking for BBQ, we can heartily recommend both Iron Works and Stubb’s.
Okay, that’s the groove here in Austin.
