I’m back in Austin. Actually, I got home late Monday night but as soon as I got up on Tuesday morning, I’ve been running with work, a follow-up visit with the doctor, and a suddenly active social life… Since I like to relive my travels, y’all are going to have to listen to me recount my week in London before… Read more »
As noted in my previous post, my trip to Florida to follow Adam Ant around on his Florida gigs hit a big snag named Irma. On Wednesday, after I received the evacuation notice from my hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, I decided to opt out of the fourth show in Jacksonville and try to get home earlier than Monday evening, figuring… Read more »

I loitered in the bus… Read more »
So, I am a massive fan of Duran Duran, have been since the first time I saw “Hungry Like The Wolf” on MTV way, way, way too many years ago. (Yes, I’m that old that I remember watching videos on MTV. And “Hungry Like the Wolf” was a video my mom and I would bond over while watching…) I had posters,… Read more »
This weekend, I made the trek down I-35 to San Antonio for a long-awaited concert – Ricky Martin. I had only been vaguely aware of Menudo (the boy band he was in way back in the day); but living in Miami in the 90’s, I had grown to be a fan of his Spanish language songs. When he released “Maria” –… Read more »
