WatchWatch
Just rediscovered the “Downtown” tv series — these were a co-production of Action Figure, the Downtown Austin Alliance and KLRU. I really love these videos, but I can’t believe how dated they’ve already become! Especially the one about Rainey Street. The one I’ve embedded above is about Barton Springs. The two little old ladies are pretty classic.

1970s Austin
Lee Clayton, Willie Nelson, and Billy Joe Shaver outside the load-in of the AWHQ. I have to admit, I’ve always been a bit enamored with the legend of the Armadillo World Headquarters. In a time when going to hear live music in Austin often means worrying about getting your name on the proverbial “list” or buying a very expensive wristband, I sometimes daydream about a...

Local Beer Joint Gives Back
The good folks over at Deep Eddy Cabaret are taking donations to help make sure that Santa shows up for a local family. Ess has six children, and with her husband serving in Afghanistan things have been pretty tight this year. You can check out the list of items they need here. They’ll be accepting donations up until tomorrow afternoon. The 10 year old girl requested art supplies, so I had...

Last night I dropped in for their holiday shopping party and made out with a free whiskey drink plus a few treasures. Mary Kathryn...
