Commando Raid
Tuesday Morning: "We've set a meeting for Thursday mid-morning... can you come?"
And so it goes; I am back in Austin. Arrived last night and connected with my dad (who is growing a beard for the first time in his life). Early to work this morning, replete with ups and downs, delayed lunch, and a generally upward trend in productivity.
Met up afterwards with my dad, his new girlfriend, and her friend to go to a Kirk Watson pre-ACL fundraiser party at Zilker; Kelly Willis and Robert Earl Kean headlining. It was nice to see the park waiting, empty, for the imminent throngs. I realized that I like those calm moments before the storm. Not exactly my scene, but it still moved me, and was nice to share with my dad.
After a quick change, met up with the crew on the newly revitalized E. 7th Street for a beer and some pinball gawking. Then headed over to Mag for some long overdue dinner while perusing the Chronicle.
There's some things I miss about this town, but I am still glad to be living in Seattle.
See you soon?
