This means I can actually show up at Pup and Oiler's on time (you know how I hate to be "fashionably" late.) And I can spend some quality time with my honey. W00t.

OH! KC will be home Tuesday. I'm so happy!

I plan on avoiding the SXSW craziness by living up here.

I have that Sunday and Monday off, but haz to work that Saturday.

*faux pout*

Yay for KC!!!

SXSW is a big big music festival and people from around the US come to listen to music all types of music and you could purchase a ticket to see all bands or just tickets to see the bands you like But it will lots of fun and very crowded.

Annual music, film, and interactive conference and festival held in Austin. People come from all over the world. Lot's of famous people running around Austin. It gets crowded on the roads so I try to avoid it. I used to go to stuff though. They have free shows pretty much everywhere with some pretty big names. I used to live right downtown so I could hear some of the music it was nice.

I enjoy living in East Central 10 minutes from downtown but out enough for quiet in a gated community with a pool grills and a gym.

My community is of mix race and cultures and Also assessable to three bus lines.

Yeah, but if you live in Austin you can see the same bands next week at the same venue for basically nothing.

WHAT??? You can't come to the do on Saturday???
That is not acceptable.

Puplove · 03-15-2011, 11:05 PM

Oh, and I have to give a major THANK YOU to that Ebon/Gemme group. At the last minute, with no warning, they hopped in the car and came to our house to dogsit (even thinking they'd have to stay overnight) because we got stuck in snow and slush and canceled flights yesterday.

Now, there are some friends (or suckers. We may have promised more than we could deliver.). We started with who was closest and figured we'd move further out as people were unavailable/working/not home etc.
but we didn't have to go further than the closest ones! Never mind that the neighbor decided to cancel his plans and stay with our pups. I think they had a party in our honor.

And, I have to say, my eyes are permantly stuck up in my head from rolling them at all the hipsters in ultra-expensive designer shabby clothes hooking up on the plane because they're all going to "south-by". Le sigh-by.

Diva · 03-15-2011, 11:10 PM

Well....I was here, too.....

The Gemme and the Ebon are marvelous people, oh yes they are. Yes, they had a party and I was there. No not really. I hope we hid the broken glass. No not really. D and I will be there Saturday. Yes really.
