    Howdy neighbor!

    Naw, I work remote, the HEB is walking distance, and if I’m on the motorcycle I’m headed the other way out of town. The only time I have to deal with it is when I’m playing a gig headed into town while everyone else is driving the other way.

      Nice! I’m lucky to have a short commute as well: grew up spending 45 min on i10 into the sun each way going to school. Never again! City driving is awful. I miss going to Austin often. Love the back roads between here and there. Especially fun on a bike. What kind of music do you play?

            Just to answer the question, tonight I was with a hard rock band. We did our thing then got hammered again.

              Nice! I’m going to guess you are a drummer. Second guess is bassist. I want to go to some good local shows, but I’ve been out of the scene so long I don’t know what places are best anymore. Any recommendations?

                I like The Farm and BFE, but those are two completely different vibes. I miss Acadia so much. That was my favorite place to be but they closed down last year.

                  So is shit in town just crap? I honestly wouldn’t be surprised, but I was hoping there might be something closer in.

                  Both of those look pretty awesome, though. Thanks for the recommendations.

                    There are some cool places closer in but I try to avoid heading that way. We played White Oak Music Hall recently and it’s pretty neat. Fitzgerald’s closed a few years back and that place was amazing. On the other side of town is House of Blues which is always a good time.
