amongst losing my debit card and not remembering the 2nd half of Friday night , I still feel good

I had some company this weekend and boy, did we tear up downtown Austin. All in all I had a good time, too many Jager shots, and for some reason (I think it was because it is my ring tone for anyone not listed in my phone book) we kept singing "Happiness is a Warm Gun" while we roamed 6th street. At one point I think Audrey and I were singing in people's faces. We jumped from one bar to another to another then one more here and then another there. Somehow along the way I lost my debit card. I have no idea where it is but it doesn't matter, no real damage. I will get another one this week and things will be fine. No one found it or made absurd purchases....well, besides myself. Regardless, we had fun and I think we took too many pictures of ourselves.
Here is one of 41 that we took


Saturday was a good day for me too. I won some tickets via Do512. I got to see some really cool bands but didn't stay for the headliner. I was too tired at the point they were about to come on and it was okay. Wil accompanied me to the show and with his work truck and all, he rocked on with me. (No worries, we didn't have any awkward moments...thankfully!) The one band I was super impressed by was from L.A. They are Imaad Wasif. Think Mars Volta and Black Angels too and a splash of Wolfmother too. It's good stuff considering there are only 3 dudes who are rocking the fuck out! Check 'em out. P.S. I had the hots for the drummer. His name is Adam. His girlfriend cheered on as she sipped on her Bud.

I got a new edition to my apartment! He was $1.60 and I kind of deem him as a protector. He watches the door and he is pretty long (that's what she said...). Check him:
I got him at the thrift store down the street. I also saw a tape deck player for 10 bucks. It was blue and from the School of the Blind. I didn't get it because of low funds, but if it is still there around the 15th, I am there! I haven't named him yet but maybe you can help me out with that later.

Check out how some Austinites up north spent their 4th of July via pictures. I don't think my pictures are appropriate to put up in blog form. You already got one picture and that is all you're gonna get!

I am really excited about Beck's new album that is going to be released this Tuesday. I have heard 3 tracks from the album and I gotta tell you, the first thing I said about hearing the first one was, "Damn, Beck! Go on, dude! I don't know how you do it but you're busting out some badass shit!". It's good stuff. Modern Guilt, out on Tuesday! P.S. Danger Mouse produced the album! Cat Power is even featured in a song and well, I can't wait to see Beck at ACL this year. He's gonna rock it, I know it.

Hmmm....what do you know?! The drummer of the band, RTX, whom I saw play yesterday at Emos, is teaming up with Zach De la Rocha (from RATM) and making beautiful music under the band name One Day as a Lion. New album is out on the 22nd of July. Nice! :)

T'was a good weekend and all in all, I had some good beer and nice cold bloody mary's inbetween meals. Long live America.
