I say a DBT show!

By the way Twangirl, I already am having dreams of the BBQ…

Endochine played at the Black Cat last Wed., and Iota last Sat. I know there's a ton to do, but if you have time on Friday, check 'em out. They are from Austin.
Friday, March 19 at 10:00 p.m. at Fox and Hound (401 Guadalupe St.) Genre: Pop/Rock. www.endochine.com

I'm preparing my show 'wishlist' this weekend. I'll then let you know where I plan to be. I'm sure we'll have some intersecting times. A DBT show would be sweet. I'll buy the first round…PBR & Jack Daniels in honor of!

I'm getting discouraged about the New West party. I know they are having one on Thursday, but no word yet from our hookup. Oh well, there's a great free gig over @ Emo's if that doesn't work out.

Here are 2 good links that do a great job of compiling all the extra-curricular stuff (in-stores, label parties, free day shows, etc.)
Sometimes this info is hard to get once you are there. The only problem is…when do you sleep?
:D

Thx Pollard - I'll definitely make one of those. I'd love to catch the Buff Billiards show on Wed. It's a cool spot & would really kick things off great. The only challenge is that it means I miss Modest Mouse who are playing across town.

The first of many serious dilemnas…[sigh].

btw - I probably wasn't effusive enough about "That Much Further West." It's one of the best things I've heard in a while. Almost a perfect record for me - I hear Slobberbone, Centromatic & many others of the same ilk - It is pretty eclectic. If you don't love 1 song just keep listening.

I've got this friend who constantly tells me that there can't be that much good music out there to validate the high # of records that I have & buy. New finds like this just routinely prove him to be wrong. Sometimes you just gotta kiss a few frogs…

Grotty in case you havent come across this yet: New West party at Club Deville, 1 pmThursday, invite needed

Yeah a lot o' shit there. Sleep is always the first casualty this weekend; I'm under no illusion about that!

I think this will interest some:

Sun Benefit-Continental Club
Sunday 3/21 â?¢ No badges or wristbands accepted!
Alejandro Escovedo & Friends
6:00: James Hand
7:00: Heybale
8:00: The Dragons
9:00: Javier Escovedo
10:00: Jim Lauderdale
11:00: Nick Tremulis
12:00: Alejandro Escovedo w/special guest Jon Dee Graham

Looks like there will be lots to do even Sunday.

except I leave sunday afternoon! argh.. :mad:

Dale Watson Friday at 6 pm in the Hotel San Jose parking lot, followed by Billy Joe Shaver at 7 pm. Anyone care to meet up there?

I'm off early tomorrow morning on a 6:00 am flight - really looking forward to this - guess I better start packing…gonna be 85 degress on Thursday!

twangirl & saco - I'll pm you with my phone #. Send me a message if you want to meet up.

The only definites for me are:

John Dee Graham Thurs @ Opal Divines @ 3:45
Then Brent Best @ 6:00

Since we didn't get the New West passes, we'll probably do the DIW party @ Emo's on Thursday afternoon

Friday we'll likely be at the Bloodshot bash.

Some brutal decisions still need to be made for the evenings, but I doubt we'll miss the New West showcase @ La Zona Rosa on Friday evening (wish it was anywhere else though…)

Hope we get a chance to meet up for a beer.

I've got that on my wishlist, but it says Jo's Coffee House. Same place?

Saw Shaver years ago @ the CC. Sweet show.
