End of an Era

Johnny moves away
Originally uploaded by iamcootis

After 8 years of friendship and 2 years of being roommates, Johnny moved to Massachusetts this weekend.

I suppose this is one of those chapter changing moments in both our lives. Johnny was laid off from his job about 2 months ago and started looking for jobs all over the country. He got offered a job from Turbine, the company that makes Lord of The Rings online.

Now, I have two empty bedrooms in my house and I need a roommate to ease my mortgage pain, so I can maintain my awesome lifestyle.

Did a Photo shoot today

I worked as a "model" today for William Hundley. The photo pictured is not one of me, but another of his work. The ones of me he will be using for an upcoming show and he doesn't want to reveal them just yet. I jumped around in a sheet for about two hours and was paid in Vitamin water and a photo shoot for my band..

You can check out his other stuff here..

I'll post the pics of me if he ever posts them.

ACL - Day 2

Conor Oberst

So I just realized I forgot to do a blog about the subsequent days of ACL. Well here's what went down on day two.

I showed up about noon and got Daniel Johnston's autograph and then watched a little bit of Fleet Foxes.

After this I left to go eat lunch at Chuy's where I had lunch. Then I walked over to Shady Grove and drank until 5pm.

I went back to the park at 5:30 to watch MGMT, but it was such a cluster I left and sat in front of the stage to wait for Conor Oberst. After Conor, I had a pretty good position for Beck, so I decided not to leave to watch Iron and Wine.

So, we finished with Beck. The mass exodus was ridiculous. The dust nearly killed us. And getting down Barton Springs Rd. took forever.

New shoes

Shoe Pavillion on 183 and Great Hills Trail is going out of business. I picked up these three pairs of shoes for $50. Originally they would have cost $190. The last day of the sale is Oct. 12, so hurry up if you need some new shoes.

Also, across the street a new Target is opening up. Grand opening is also Oct. 12.

I hate girls

I went to see Johnathan Richman last night at the Parish. I had an extra ticket so I asked some people standing around outside if they were going to the show. Two of them said they'd already been in but there friend needed a ticket. I offered her the ticket for free. She snatched it from me and ran to the doorman. She turned to me and was a little embarrassed that she had thanked me yet, and she then thanked me and said she would buy me a drink. I could tell in the way she said it that she had no intention of buying me a drink. I walked into the show and never saw her again.

I get more thanks from people when I sell them tickets.
