Austin

Posted by Anonymous On 10:52 PM

I'm off to Austin, Cachinnatees. Now don't get concerned. I know most of you are thinking, "Austin?! That pit of debauchery and evilness?!?" But it's not that bad. Don Boscoe submitted the following photo as his artist's rendition of what could happen to an unsuspecting handsome fellow like me while down in the big city:

Doesn't seem likely, but I'll be on my guard.

I'll be there the next few days to sit on a panel for the Texas Commission on the Arts. I only found out about this last week, so it's kind of hurried. In fact... I think I might have written myself a letter of recommendation.

You see, I was asked a few weeks ago to write a letter of recommendation for a theatre company here in Tejas. We'll call them The Dallas Children's Theatre since that's their name. So I did. Then I was asked to sit on this panel. I just got my materials to review for the rest of the week a few days ago. My task is to review the applications of various artists and arts groups around the state to decide if they're eligible for TCA and NEA funds. So I look at my roster that I'll be reviewing, and lo and behold, DCT is one of my groups. So I may in fact get to read a letter of recommendation by me to me. That'll be sweet.

So I may be a bit scarce the next few days. Or maybe I'll be hitting all the bars on 6th Street to see how much trouble I can photo-document. No I won't. But I might. No I won't. I won't. But if I do, I'll post it here. But I won't do it, so I won't have anything to post. But keep reading just in case. Total waste of time. Riiiiiight.

    If you can't find trouble on 6th street, no one can.

    So... you wouldn't know anything about a certain annonymous editorial that appeared in the Lariat today, would you?

  6. Keep away from the hippies.

    They bite.

    And of course, you know that whoever is bitten by a hippie and lives...

    ...becomes a hippie himself.

    Let me know what you think. We once considered moving there since there's a ton of job opportunities and cheaper housing than up here.

    Something tells me you'd love Austin, Grant Miller. It really is a sweet town. I'll post more about it in a few.
