..so yesterday we did an impromptu show at Full English in South Austin, was really more or less a practice which we decided to do over there instead of the boring apartment, plus they have a really good crêpe there.. anyway the show was good, some folks came out and we had a good time.. then today we went and did some recording at our friend Dave Patterson's Buda Treehouse Recording Studios ..we were also joined by Jim Spector and A.J. Montrose, both of which have spent time on stage with us in the past, and whom we thoroughly enjoyed playing with again today ..the Poodies show last Friday night was fun, quite a few folks came out and made it more fun.. and the Juniors show the night before that was pretty darn good.. and speaking of Poodies and Juniors, I'm not exactly sure which has the better burger but I can tell you they're both fantastic.. Poodies, I believe, has a reputation for having a great burger, I'm not sure if such is the case with Juniors, but I believe it may rival the Poodies burger ..

A very grainy picture of Gabriel on stage at Poodies Hilltop this past Friday opening for Bobby Mack. Thursday night we played Junior's in Round Rock as the duo. Both fun shows. This Friday we'll be gracing the stage again at Full English in South Austin, followed by upcoming shows at Cherrywood Coffee House with Rare Birds in Flight, Sahara Lounge, Junior's again, 290 West, and the Corner Oak birthday party on August 4th.

..what does one do to maintain a blog!! well I guess he/she maintains it (duh).. easier said than done i've typically thought, and get past the odd uncomfortable feelings regarding the past spurts and starts of activity amidst a virtual black hole of inactivity (the black hole being metaphoric by the by) ..

so maintain we will ..heading out to Poodies tonight to hang up some posters for our June 6th show opening for Austin blues guitar slinger Bobby Mack and having a couple practices this coming week with Jason Toll  and Jack Schultz, drums and bass respectively (haha, just my dumb sense of humor).
