The hand-drawn flyer for the next couple of Saint Motel shows

Friday, March 20th, 2009

The band drew up a few hundred of these and handed them out on the streets of Austin. People seemed to like ‘em.
 
My iPhone just tried to correct ‘em to “‘rm”, and when I tried again, to “‘el”. WTF?

AJ handing flyers to A-sharp

Friday, March 20th, 2009
The Saint Motel flyers were hand-drawn. They handed them out to people milling about on the blocked-off streets of downtown Austin.
 
The ban’s van is a massive old American number. Its design and ride seemed to be nautically inspired.

A few images from last night

Friday, March 20th, 2009
1. A train crossing. The automated gate was broken, so there was a man who stopped traffic and lit flares on the road just prior to the train’s arrival. 2. My cousin AJ (of the band Saint Motel), Hilary (of Bella Koshka) and a very cool mountain-country-is band performing in the street after 2am. It’s probably hard to tell, but the guy on the right is strumming a long string connected to a garbage can as a resonance chamber. It worked surprisingly well. 3. The aftermath of a chicken fight. Woulda been a photo of an actual chicken fight if the iPhone’s camera app didn’t take so long to be ready to take a photo.

One more Lotus photo from yesterday, just for fun

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

What a great car. Structure of extruded aluminum, fiberglass body, lightweight (1950 lbs), V4 Toyota engine, ridiculous cornering, gets 40mpg if driven at the speed limit on the freeway (not that this is a likely use of the vehicle).

Breakfast and a run

Thursday, March 19th, 2009
Had a lovely breakfast at the Kerbey Lane Cafe (in photo: remaining bits of a gingerbread pancake and a buttermilk instance of said food item), followed by a run around Town Lake (Aka Lady Bird Lake). The “lake” is actually a dammed-off section of the Colorado river, and is a fantastic run. Sorry to post such a crap photo for the lake portion of my day-in-progress. I have better pics of it on a non-iPhone camera from Tuesday that I’ll post when back in LA.

A trip to get BBQ, in style, in Texas

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009
I went on a trip with David in his Lotus to get some BBQ for lunch. I’d written a magnum opus on the journey and this iPhone multiple-photo email app crashed while sending, and I don’t feel like retyping it all. So here’s an executive summary:
 
We drove to Rudy’s Country Store And BBQ, taking turns marked 30 at 80. That car corners so well it seems almost a safe thing to do. We ate a bunch of meat on white bread. It was good. We drove home to find the cat basking in a beam of light. Cute.
