Well, there ain't none better than the girl who's movin' on.

Well we were definately entitled to a treat Friday evening. The Old 97's, one of the only bands i'm sincerely proud to be called 'Texas Music', played back to back shows at Gruene Hall. First show, slated for Saturday sold out immediately, then was announced to be a show on Friday, sold out pretty damn quick too, but not before I snatched up 5 tics.

First seeing / being blow away by them at Austin City Limits Festival last year in the midst of what seemed like a million people in a million degree heat, seeing them in the oldest dance hall in Texas was nothing less than splendid.

Not to mention that they were recording for a live cd slated for release later in the year. Hence, they played nothing but the good shit, no fluff, and the sound was amazing.

Beautiful Time, Beautiful Band, Beautiful Venue, Beautiful Beer, Beautiful Company (esp. the Nate Dogg! hahahaha)

There was a sad truth
There was a punchline
and there was a long whistle
and it was a good sign
