Thunder and Lightning (<-- ELO reference)
Finally arrived in muggy Austin late last night, the first wing of the bedhead-tattoo crew to infiltrate the armies of nise-Britney teens and other locals. The ridiculously long voyage may eventually pay off, however, as it forced me to go to bed at 1 (after enjoying a little Stuart/Colbear) and get up at 8. Jetlag usually forces me up at 5:30 or so.
Breakfast at 8:30. I was going to talk to you about the Texas-shaped waffle iron available at Texas-based hotels as being the sole positive contribution of the Bush administration, but our place had your standard dorm cafeteria waffle iron. Still delicious, so I guess I can do without the Texas-shaped iron - leaving the current president with little 0 pluses and infinity negatives.
Headed downtown to register, ran into old Tokion buds/bosses Adam and Lanha, had Mexican and limeades, then headed back and ran into old pal Justin. Rockstars are only slowly drifting in at this point, so the tone is decidedly "interactive."
Thunderstorms began around 1, and we went on a wild goose chase for a cellphone - choosing eventually to go around the SIM-card replacement (damn locked Vodaphone!) and go for pre-paid, the choice of terrorists everywhere. Now we are back at the hotel, with the nice view of Denny's.
I forgot how unbelievably pleasant and helpful the service sector is in much of the American South. I am sure you all can come up with some counterexamples, but we have been greeted with nothing but 100% friendliness.
Now tracking down drums and resting up. Today is the calm before the storm. Or the thunderstorm before the storm.

something I really miss about Texas was eating like a king for $10 or less.

I had more food than you could imagine at Denny's last night for $6. This would be bad in the long-run, however.

were you the guy that was with kiiiiiii at that ms bea's place, in austin? i was there to see them, and i asked you if you were from japan also, but it's really weird that i found your blog because i was just searching on del.icio.us for "pico pico" and it brought up the radiomxut vol.2 mp3, and it's so good, so i wanted to go to the website it was from, and it was this one, and if you aren't that guy then i probably sound really dumb~ but still, i really like the radiomxut!! ._.
