Saw it on the X

That slight adaption of a ZZ Top song title was the title of an article in this week's Austin Chronicle about Bill Narum's Saturday night opening at the SAMOPC. Here's a blurb from that article:

"Ever seen the stage sets that ZZ Top uses? Listened to KLOL in Houston in the late Sixties? Watched concert footage filmed at the Armadillo World Headquarters? Coveted that 1973 Springsteen Texas Tour poster? Read about the Texas booth at MIDEM in Paris? Well, boys and girls, you've been looking at, reading about, and listening to the creative works of Bill Narum."

The opening was well attended. Threadgill's and Miles of Chocolate provided the amazing food. Van Wilks provided musical entertainment.

Today a friend and I went out to the Hill Country to look at the wildflowers. They're not at their peak yet, but we saw quite a few. We stopped at Wildseed Farm and the Herb Garden in Fredericksburg. Beautiful weather and scenery plus good food, company, and herb equals an exceptionally enjoyable Sunday.
