[bomp] SXSW - Austin, music, BBQ

[Joe Emery <jemery@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hey guys-
sorry to be chiming in late here re: sxsw.  TONS going on this year, making
my head hurt.  aforementioned saints and stooges.  also:  turbonegro, hoodoo
gurus, mullens, paul collins, woggles, some kind of stax soul thing
featuring cropper and dunn (maybe also booker t?), a-bones, reigning sound,
mary weiss.  and those are just the ones i know about without having gone
through the list!

couple things you may also wanna check out:

get hip showcase friday night at habana calle patio on 6th street -- this
will feature the bad rackets (Bob W's great band), the breakup society, the
mullens, the ugly beats, paul collins, and the CYNICS!!!  stephen and i from
the UBs will be stepping in as the cynics' rhythm section and i'm psyched
(those dudes actually let me write the set list!  only trick is gonna be
that i gotta remember to continue playing bass instead of pumping my fist in
the air during all the choruses).

cynics are also playing at antone's recs friday afternoon around 2pm.

ugly beats and paul collins are playing antone's recs saturday at 5pm and
7pm respectively.

if you're in austin and at any of these shows look for the short balding
blonde haired dude trying to make sure he remembers bass parts to cynics
songs and make him buy you a beer...

ps.  Lee - I hate to tell you this but to get REAL bbq you'll need to drive
a ways.  lockhart, luling, marble falls, llano.  don't let any knuckleheads
try to tell you there's good bbq in the city limits.  some passable places,
but if you want mind blowing bbq you're gonna need to get in the car and
drive (45 minutes minimum).  it's worth it though.  email me off-list if you
want some recommendations.  the thing to remember -- if they give you a fork
to eat it with, you're probably not at the right place.
