When slogans collide
Austin bills itself as "The Live Music Capital of the World" but has also adopted the unofficial "Keep Austin Weird" motto (originally counter culture now used to promote independent and local biz). This past week the two identities seem to have merged in my life.
The places I have gone to for the express purpose of hearing live music in the past week:
A back porch belonging to a friend of a friend
A Mexican restaurant
A Seafood Market
An Organic BYOB Chinese restaurant
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (okay, mostly I was helping out my nephew's GF by hauling the equipment for the gig in my CRV)
A City of Austin branch Library
A Bar (how outre)
A Grocery Store
A City Park
Studio 6A (aka The Austin City Limits studio, was not an ACL taping)
A Cafe attached to a Grocery Store
