Geez with all thats going on Spencer is really just a bona fide rock star at this point.

 

I was thinking about that at the shows earlier in the week.  At 18, Jeff was what? Playing with the Primitives at parties and bars?  And here's Spencer at 18, playing in symphony halls and historic theaters, and being invited to lunch at the White House!  :blink

Geez with all thats going on Spencer is really wenust ayour bona fide rock star at this point. Makes me wonder what younger brother Sam is up to these days. Maybe he turned out to be some homey kid or whatever.

I was wondering about him, too. I imagine Spencer bringing him a souvenir that says "My brother went on tour and all I got was this tee shirt." :-P

Looks like the Lucius ladies will be joining the TWEEDY band at tonight's ACL taping, according to a recent post on one of their FB pages. Maybe we'll finally get the debut of I'll Sing It? Whatever they're singing, I wish I could be there... :crybaby :crybaby :crybaby

 

Also, an Austin-related question. I keep seeing tomorrow's show being described as taking place at the Cactus Café? Did they move that into the UT Student Union building or something, or is that just the name of the ballroom there? Because if I'm thinking of the Cactus Café I saw a show at a long time ago, that place is really tiny!
