Austin Music Festival...
The festival was this past weekend and from what I gather it was a success...its not the kind of thing I tend to go to - too hot, too many people, parking too difficult, too much noise, everything is too expensive...gee, I sound like a curmudgeon, but its the truth...I'd rather go to a small cafe, indoors, have a nice breakfast and pay a small tab...which is exactly how we spent our Sunday...we can play tunes on our iPod or radio just as easily as go to the fest...but then, isn't that how it always is - the locals rarely attend what's right in their backyard...I knew folks who would drive from Dallas to Galveston (a 6 hr drive at least) when we lived only 30 min from the beach - and we never went...I bet there are folks in Orlando who've never been to Disneyworld either...I flew 8000 miles to London to study samplers that friends of mine in the UK had never bothered to see...I find it all rather amusing...
So things are pretty normal here...I bought tix for the Heroes premiere next MOnday at Alamo Drafthouse...the show is free, but we pay $5 to secure our food and a seat...they are showing last year's finale before hand, and then will run the premiere commercial free (recorded on TiVo, they just fast forward thru the commercials)...We did this last year for Halloween, we went into town and watched Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars...good times...
Halloween is around the corner, I'm ready to start decorating, but I should wait a few weeks I guess...We've been really good, not buying up all the stuff in Target and the specialty stores...we have so much Halloween yard stuff that we don't really need any more...Maybe the spiders will still be here for added spook-factor...the front porch spider was spinning her web this morning when I checked on her, and the backyard spider is still living in our recycling bin..I don't have the heart to relocate her...if she's finding food, she's welcome to stay...nature likes living in our yard...

I used to ski TONS so I moved to Colorado and now I ski practically NONE! Go Figure! I can't earn enough here to afford to go! 3 1/2 yr old daughter is asking me to make a Tarantula costume for her!
