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?
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.
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.
Fitzgeralds was my place in the 90s. Motherfuckers paved “paradise” and put up a parking lot. It enrages me every time I see it. My friends used to play downstairs at Fitz all the time back then. Looking for that vibe: clearly I’m not a teenager anymore, but I love a good dive and a good show. Doesn’t really matter the genre as long as the musicians are good and know how to put on a show. Austin was also great for this, emos and hole in the wall were great, and taco land in SA was amazing until it wasn’t.
I mean, is there anything like that in town?? Or do I need to go out to spring because that’s where people can afford to have a good time? It would not surprise me and I’d be happy to even if that’s quite a drive for me. I’m just kind of lost because I’m trying to get back to what I love, but I’ve been so isolated I don’t know anything anymore.
I mean, I know numbers is still around. That’s good. But there’s got to be something else where good music is happening.
Sorry, not meaning to dump. I really appreciate your recommendations.

Sorry, I was drunk as hell up on 1960 and forgot we were having a conversation.
No problem. Have a good one!
Just to answer the question, tonight I was with a hard rock band. We did our thing then got hammered again.

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.
