I get it now. Conor's just grown up a little bit, and I guess I didn't want to grow up with him... but I had an amazing time last night and really appreciated the performance. I did not appreciate the fact that I almost got in a fight at a show AGAIN, but that's not important. At least this time I got a lot of people involved and they all had my back. Since when did I become so scrappy? Whatevs I hadn't seen Conor in five years, I had to fight for my spot. PS - I eventually gave up and went to the back and stood next to his long lost friend that was attending the show.
ANYWAYAYAYAYAY it was incredible. The first opening band, Rig 1, was some crazy rap-ish, electronic type band that reminded me of Cex.
They were fun, and Mike would love them. We later saw the lead singer (rapper?) in the audience so Will snapped a shot.
The second band was The Felice Brothers.
This guy got licked on the face by one of the girls I pushed around.
Poor guy, I hope he gets tested. They were really fun too, and put on a good show. I need to get their CD. And Conor was perfect. He was even losing his voice, and he was perfect. Here he is performing a new song, "Slowly" ..sorry if it's shaky, I was wayyyy too excited and couldn't keep still!
Here is "Cape Canaveral" - Taylor Hollingsworth is awesome on the guitar.
Check back for the upload of a few pictures and "I Don't Want to Die (In the Hospital)" because YouTube is being weird, but it's worth the wait, I promise.
Ahhh. I feel like I saw an old friend after years of not talking for no good reason.

WOW - sorry to hear about the scrappy poop, but it happens! Happened to me at the Derek Trucks show - geeze! Anyhow, Will, you're amazing. I've said all weekend, "I wonder how in the world she talked Will into THAT?" I'm simply amazed! Brittany, have you seen this:

I watched start to finish, and it so reminded me of my drumming circle days in the SCA! What a riot! :)
You two pumped? Your Big Bend trip is getting clooooser now! :)
Yeah I watched that video the other week, it's funny. We are very excited! Only threeeeee days of work and then we finally get a little break together. Phew.
Lions and tigers and bears...Oh my! Did I get it right this time? Last time I think I said oh no and little Will corrected me. That would have been about 1991 when he was out here and watched the Wizard of Oz over and over while the rest of us slept late.
Just a further warning...there are lions there too!!!! Mountain lions!! We heard one growl but never saw it. Never heard of any tigers so I guess you are safe on that one.
Take a lot of pictures so we can all share your little trip through the magic of technology! I am thinking of renting that movie, no country for old men or whatever. Have fun!
Hopefully we see some scary wildlife. It would make for quite an adventure. We will take plenty of pictures and share them with everyone as soon as they are compiled. Make sure you watch no country for old men and there will be blood. Both were filmed partly in Marfa, TX. Excellent movies.
