a group blog of friends who write about their lives in the best way they know how--honestly. always trying to avoid pretension, but always trying to progress, these folk have all at one time lived in the same city. now scattered throughout the country, they try to keep in touch via one medium: to whom it may concern. this is that attempt at friendship and love.

My first trip to Austin, Texas!
Went to the biggest record show in the country, Austin Record Convention, last weekend. Spent less than $200. Got lots of cool things. Some cheap. Some not.
Got to get food/drink from a 7-11. I know this isn't a feat but it's my favorite convenience store in Florida and haven't lived near one in ten years.
Ate breakfast at Schlotzsky's for the first time. Not a bad breakfast sandwich. Spent all day at record show. Ate bbq at Bill Miller's on Friday which apparently is a chain. I don't think I like their sauce. I miss Sonny's. It was pretty good food. Had the most amazing hash browns.
Only got to hit up a fancy Goodwill near downtown. And also End of an Ear Record Store. Got a Carey Brothers LP (to sell) and a Chris Kenner 45 (to keep). I heard good things about a store called Breakaway. Will definitely get in there next time I'm in town.
Big storm rolled through on Saturday evening with talks of flooding. Living in NOLA, I avoid those. Left early Saturday because if I stayed at the record show any longer, I wouldn't have had any money to drive home with. Made it back in 8 hours flat.
