Spreading coverage out over multiple threads is an attempt to keep any one thread from getting unwieldy, unstable, and too difficult to negotiate.
Alas, we now have a sprawl of threads, including Before the Show, Giving Stuff Away, and a thread for each band. Is that working for you guys?
This thread will catch everything else, and will operate as show central for the rest of the day.
It's 1:00 Austin time; I'm posting from the hotel. The door to the courtyard is open and some cool jazz is ringing through the open air; for whatever reason the hotel keeps a variety of recorded music going all day. In any other city, guests would complain.
But it's pretty loud, as hotel noise goes, and it's better to go with it than fight it.
No car show. That part of the revival just didn't come off - no one explained why!
I was looking forward to doing photos of the cars, and the people the cars would bring out, but as it is I can use the time to get y'all caught up.
Announcement coming tonight! Remember, Joe has an Official Big Announcement. I'm pretty sure you'll be pleased - and if all goes as planned, that will happen between 6 and 6:30, from the venue. We'll be heading back there in a couple hours to prep for the evening's festivities.
Which is, remember, The Lonesome Spurs, Lee Rocker, Unknown Hinson, and the Rev. It ought to be an incredible night of guitar!
