I am here for Friends

About Me

I love living in Austin, Texas. I love going to see live music. I love going to the movies. I love sushi, mexican food and barbecue. I like to drink cold beer and a tasty margarita is a fabulous thing. I like to hang out with my friends -- happy hour rocks! I am addicted to caffeine, especially in the form of coffee. Sometimes I can be completely anti-social. I am a terrible liar. I love to laugh and can find humor in just about everything. I enjoy travelling and think it makes you view the world differently. I am sure there is more, but that's it for right now. Layout made by Topangachick

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I recently saw Nellie McKay perform live and, if ever given the opportunity, I would love to see what she is like away from the stage. This is an example of her incredible talent and wit (please note, the "dance break" may be my favorite part).

A Really Great Night

First and foremost, I hate pretentious, upscale bars and, with only a few exceptions, I try to avoid the downtown area at all costs.  On the flip side, I love neighborhood, dive bars.  I love going pl...

Bettie Page

For anyone that does not know this about me already, I am a HUGE fan of the 40s to 60s pinups.  One of my favorite pinups of all time is Bettie Page and she passed away a week ago.  I have been a bit ...

What I am thankful for...

Since I am not keeping up with my posts about the bands I am seeing (though I am still seeing plenty of music), I thought I would put up my Second Annual Thanksgiving Post.  Thus, I am thankful t...
