sights, smells, and sounds

I am back from a good trip to Austin. Perhaps I'll write a detailed update about it soon, but the highlights included:

An evening with Michael, Maria, and Liegh. He and I played guitar and sang, and no one threatened to shoot us.

The SFBT conference. It worked out so well! And I got to see video of SFBT guru Steve DeShazer's last ever session. It was great in ways I didn't expect.

Walking around the UT campus and taking in the sights, smells, and sounds of my undergrad years. (Well, not all 8 of them... just the 2.5 spent at UT).

A subliminal message from BB King (really)

Bumping into former classmates like Chris and Elliott (okay, I knew Elliott would be there since he was speaking and all)

Peanut butter and jelly in the parking lot

One attention-loving turtle

The new limited edition Alejandro Escovedo live CD/EP. It rocks!

A humble homeless woman

Almost running out of gas half a mile from my house

And finally, the news that Randy Couture LOST to newcomer Brock Lesnar. Dang dang dang.

Get some sleep. Hook 'em.
