Shad

So, here I am sitting at my computer. It’s a little after 1pm. Right now I could be watching
Kelly WIllis or Rachael Yamagata or the Earl Harvin Trio at the Austin City Limits Music festival (a mear 25 min walk from here). I could be there, but instead, I’m just sitting here.

Wanna know why? Cuase I don’t know any of those bands… and it’s hot out there. More than just hot actually… yesterday I filled my 100oz camel pack and drank all of it in the first 3 hours or so. I’ve slathered on enough layers of sunscreen to protect me from a radiation blast, yet I’m still getting a little toasted. Its hot enough that I make my decisions on which shows to see by how much shade there is (and how early will I have to get there in order to be in it).

And here I sit. It’s hot again today. And I’m tired, dispite having just slept nearly 11 hours. I’m seriously considering throwing in the towel and having a nice day of bumming around the house. Maybe I’ll just go over and catch the Dirty Dozen Brass Band later… or Wilco… they don’t go on until 6pm.

But wait, I just realized that if I just go to the SBC stage, I can hang out with friends in the shade all afternoon and see The Roots, Jack Johnson, Wilco & Ben Harper. That’s still a long day though… and it is hot out there…

Hmmm…
