The evil coalition will no doubt have plans to take our natural resource and pipe it southwards, probably using southern organisations and labour to do so. I think we should only let them have it if they can arrange for us to have some of the sunshine that the south and east usually get. :twisted:


Yes, we have indeed been declared a drought zone here. So today it's pissing down so hard that a frog is currently hopping around the patio outside my window. Lawd knows where said froggy has come from. Where's Dennis Howell when you need him?

Mind you, I got so wet in Manchester last week that if I'd wrung my clothes out when we got back down here I might have solved the drought problem instantly.

Austin, my nemesis. I thought I was done with, yet here I am again. And do I get to come back for SxSW? I super doubt it.

Technically I'm outside of Austin. The two times I've ventured into Real Austin i shared food and entertainment with Territa and/or saw WEW perform. So fromt hat perspective Austin is pretty awesome. It's just the huge amount of time I've spent on the outskirts that make me all cranky.

Well, I keep telling you to go see Jon Dee Graham and James McMurtry who play most Wednesday nights at The Continental Club, when they are not on the road. I think they would give you a new perspective on Austin. Which direction do your work? I own a property up in Round Rock that I took off my brother's hands when he came to work for me. Some good places to eat up that way...

The googles tell me that I'm ~14 miles north of downtown.

I got all excited yesterday when Amazon sent me an email to say they were dispatching Here Comes Everybody - I assumed the publication date for James's book had suddenly been moved forward. Then I remembered it was a book of the same name about social media by Clay Shirky ...
