Dooooooon't Smile

I talked to my mom yesterday.  Apparently Galveston is completely demolished.  She has currently re located to Corpus Christi for the time being.  It seems like its just one bad thing after another for her.   Her city was destroyed by a hurricane, her phone fried while lost on the way to Corpus, and her TV blew up at her hotel.  It reminds me of the scene in Amazon Women on the Moon, during Arsenio Hall's sketch, where awful, yet funny, shit keeps happening to him.   Its not really that funny when it happens to my mom though... She does not know when or if she can return home... if there is a home to return to.

ANYWAYS,

Natalie took me to this really sweet store yesterday, that is stocked full of American Apperal clothing for super cheap!  I got a t-shirt, 3 really nice cardigan jacket thingies, and a t-shirt hoodie, for around 1/5 ( maybe even 1/6) of what it would normally cost!  

Afterwards, we went to the Apple store, Jamba Juice, Best Buy, Target. Basically made a giant square around town.

My buddy Matt was playing a show at the Crane Tavern.  He said he was to play around 9:30.  So we get there at 9.  Its a really cool place, that I never even knew existed.  AND, to top off the beautiful patio and pleasant atmosphere, they have 1 dollar beers from 9 - 10 !  This is a great place to grab a drink before the night "officially" begins.  They also have free, live music the majority of the week!  Hoo-rah!

So, Matt does not play at 9:30...he does not play at 10....he does no play at 10:30.....he does not play at 11..... he FINALLY gets the show on the road at 11:30!  So we were basically there for 2 and a half hours, before any excitement began.  But, its ok.  Matt was REALLY AWESOME!  He is a great songwriter, and I look forward to seeing the full band.

Really Fun day/night!

I have a feeling this week is going to be filled to the brim with good times :)
