January Fifth, Two Thousand Eight

We had a scrumptulescent weekend. We got our zoo membership. We ordered some frames from some toothless drunken beard; those were for the prints we bought at the UNM art school sale. We carried a giant limb of cottonwood home from the bosque. We went out to dinner at Ben Michael's on Friday. We had pizza on Saturday. The casita came through as rehearsal space. Rad!

Saturday night I went out to see some rock. Beggin' for Change played at Atomic Cantina and let technical difficulties (bad cord?) get the better of them. Caught some old dudes, Rivet Gang at Burt's and was totally in to it. Back at AC Urban Decay from L.A. were awesome and felt very SoCal. Highlight of the earlobe night were the Squash Blossom Boys who ripped shit up bluegrass style. A group of talented young men with eyes on the Old Crow prize, the Squash Bottom Boys hovered around one expensive-looking microphone and took turns taking leads.

An Indian in a cowboy hat and ponytails carried in a large guitar case while I was on my way out and I kind of wanted to turn around to see him, but my beerlust had overrun $2.50 Shiner's. Up policeman alley and I met up with JB at Anodyne for Addam's Family. Home again now and trying to write.
