Great seats, floor, row N! drewwolle yahoo.com

Also, wasn't "Baby" considered for what we now know and love as "Being There"?

Pearl!

The Byrds. And it's not even close.

Tropic of Capricorn - Henry Miller

Gibson Barney Kessel. I'm sure someone more versed can give a more complete answer, though...

Wine. Spanish. The one with the little plastic bull on it. :-)

In Austin, South Austin Music (www.southaustinmusic.com) on South Lamar is a great shop w/ helpful and knowledgeable staff, plus more new and used gear than you can shake a pick at. (And I know Tweedy's stopped in there at least once.) Nearby are also Heart of Texas Music and another great little shop w/ tons of vintage equipment (can't think of the name of it, but it and HoT are both in the same shopping center, near the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar). Up north is Guitar Resurrection (http://guitarrez.com/), with perhaps a slightly smaller selection, but still a cool place. Those are my

Food-wise, it's hard to go wrong with Chuy's, Trudy's, Guero's, Threadgill's, Hill's Cafe, Stubb's or Iron Works (though it seems like you've got the last two covered -- bbq -- with the Salt Lick). I know I've left a ton of great stuff out; if there's a kind of food you're hankering for, say the word and I'll give you my read. For entertainment, the Continental Club, Ginny's Little Longhorn (more ambience than musical draws, typically), and South Congress (which is actually where the Continental Club is) are hard to beat. Avoid 6th St. unless you're into the college-age bar/dancing scene; th

I'm a Wheel Alignment!

Love her latest album, but that's all I know of her. Those first four or five songs are all incredible.

Surprises for me: Radio King (!!!) Box Full of Letters Bob Dylan's Beard Late Greats Great shows, both of 'em!

Esquire and Outside. Both top-notch in my book.

Sister Ray!

Can't really compete with any of those, but I once had wine made from tomatoes. I believe it was about 30 years old and tasted like the inside of someone's stomach. (Or at least what I surmise the inside of a stomach would taste like.) 3 for 6? Impressive...in a way.

Anyone have any ideas? Sounds simple enough, but it's beyond this novice. This song is haunting me... Thanks for any help!

Sunset Station in San Antonio?!?! (double interrobang) That place is pathetic! Add me to the list of "Please, Austin!"

"Not one woman...a lot of women." Great movie! On the cusp between A and A+. See it. You'll laugh, you'll cry...you'll be glad you did.

Thanks again, everybody. Still hanging on. Will try to not buy too many guitars; my budget won't allow it, so not too big a worry there! AFGO...I like that. And also: This really fucking sucks.

thanks for the messages, everybody. i see lots of familiar sentiments and experiences. also, forgot to mention our daughter (almost 5)...which clearly makes things tougher. but she's great and means the world to me, so in that respect i'm so happy and lucky to have her around. i'll stick around (was away for awhile b/c my bookmark had an outdated link, and i'm a dummy)...hopefully not to be made fun of too much. though if so, well, i can dish it out too. haven't heard all the new songs, but from most accounts they seem to be "happy." why'd tweedy have to do that now? i may not be able t

So, hopefully not being too personal, but is anyone here divorced (well of course some folks here are) or divorcing? I'm going through a real mess right now; looks as though I'll be divorcing my wife of (barely) 7 years someday...someday soon. Was blindsided with it at the very end of last year; we've been separated for ~3 months and it appears all the wheels are now coming off. (I'm a wheel, by the way; though she's the one who turned on me...) So I'm just trying to deal with it all and looking for help/guidance/inspiration/whatever anywhere I can get it. If anyone is willing to contribute

The more you play, the less you'll suck. Trust me...I was right where you are about a year ago. As referred to above, Misunderstood is an easy one...only 2 chords: D-G, D-G, D-G, G-D. Welcome to the club!
