The Dicks!

a very belated report (from Saturday, March 12) on seeing my favorite Austin band of all time:

seeing the Dicks again tonight was worth it, and they’re playing tomorrow night and Sunday too. is it pathetic to want to see the best fucking drunk rock/punk rock band that I grew up on (since I was 15), but haven’t seen for almost 20 years? nah, it’s good. sentimentality is good. old friends are good, especially when they’re still alive.

now to sleep (I hope), perchance to hear the alarm when it goes off.

and I saw Ralf the girl, Craig Stewart and his better half King Coffey, my old pal Phil Flowers (and his girlfriend Tammy), John Spath, Niels-Jørgen Dyrved, Gretchen Von Eberstein, Gary Floyd, Magoo, Brent and his girlfriend Jane, ohmyword so many others. Pat Dick. Buxf Parrot. Davy Jones for heaven’s sakes! amazing how good some of us still look 20 years later. Biscuit looked great! and sang “Young Boy’s Feet (I’m Greedy)” with Gary, which rocked. I also especially enjoyed “Kill From the Heart.” oh my gosh, and Felix who used to drum for DRI, whom I haven’t seen since he was about 14, when his housekeeper used to bring him to shows.

life is good. I have a lot of friends that I love, and I’ll miss them when I move.
