Austin Texas is a town in Texas
If you did not know Austin was in Texas, every three steps there is a sign reminding you that yes in fact you are in Texas. Cool town I must say. So I had my vacation last week went to visit my brother "The Honk". My parents came out as well so it was a real family reunion. The week started off by taking in a film at the Alamo Drafthouse Theatre. We saw Ung Bok the tai warrior. Good foo flick. They have small bar like tables in front of your seat in the theatre and a wait staff to bring you food and drinks throughout the feature. A tasty meatball sub and a soda makes any movie better. The next night we took in yet more Alamo fare, This was the extreme School Bus Adventure!! They loaded a small bus with a projector and a screen and put 25 of us on board with all the free beer you could want, and showed old bus safety movies from the 70's. Really damn funny. So we drove all over Austin in this bus with the films playing, laughing our asses off, and periodically our driver would stop to regale us with a bus tragedy story that happened where we were parked. It was part campfire ghost tale, part junior high field trip. BUS NUT!
The folks arrived on Friday. The main pastime in Austin is eating. We had some nice TEX MEX grub over the entire trip. I ate at CHUY"S and was seated in the official Luke Wilson chair.
Honk and I went to see a concert on friday by 'Groupo Fantasma", an 11 piece Latin rock fusion troupe who got the party jumpin. Nice. One of the friendliest shows I have ever been to. Austin folks know how to appreciate live music. I fear that the energy and raw fun of this group is probably lost in recording but if you ever get the chance to check em out live do yourself a favor and do it lots.
Sunday I flew back to Vegas and found out Anne was moving to San Jose. Well it just proves that change is the only constant in this universe. We are still goofy for eachother and things are good. Maybe I have told you how much I care for this girl in the past, well I just keep falling for this girl more and more every time we are together. She bought a new pot for her plant at her apt. And got some ceramic paints to decorate it. We spent our last night in Vegas for a while painting together. It was very relaxing and really put my mind at ease. Turned out really cool too. I was feeling rather blue on Saturday night but Anne always knows the right thing to say to me. I love her so much.
Last night Second City had a little social thing for our students in the training center. It was nice to see some familiar faces from my previous students. The mainstage cast we have here now is an incredible bunch of people. Talent matched only by Their quality of character and honesty.
We has a q and a session after the show and It was refreshing to hear that none of the players in this show have a perfect plan for the future. Makes me less frightened knowing that so many incredibly talented people share the same concerns for their future career as I do for mine.
Well rehearsal tonight, should be fun.
I promise no more huge lapses in posts
thank you for your patience friends.....Comedy album coming soon
Love
