Debatably, 6th Street is the heart of the "live music capitol of the
world". At least, in my known universe, 6th street is vibrant, happening,
a place to meet folks, find good food, and catch some good live bands.
Have you been there? Want to meet someone there? What's happening and
coming up?

In my 8+ years in Austin, I almost never went to 6th street (once for SXSW only) and I still had fun! Is Liberty Lunch still around?

Still alive and kicking, still the rasta scene.

Some of my best times were there...but if you'll note from my entries in the tv and movie conferences, I don't have much time for actually living my life, going clubbing, what with all my entertainment options elsewhere! Besides, I'm too old these days to stay up past 9. Antone's got some of my entertainment dollar...oops, this was a 6th st topic. Better get off since I never went at night! Shopped by day, tho.

Antone's would go in a "drag" topic wouldn't it. Or blues in the music conf.

A drag topic might be fun: what was the most unusual thing you saw last time you were on the drag? or something. I was crossing the drag when I heard SRV had died--nearly got kilt myself when I stopped halfway across Guadalupe.

What do folks feel about Austin expanding.
Five new movie theaters in North and South Austin. Today
a 10 million dollar movie theater is opening at 183 and 360
with 16 screens and 4,000. They're expecting 20,000 to 30,000
moviegoers this weekend.
And a major annexation plan is being debated in the City Council.

4,000 seats that was supposed to be. And there's even a 4 screen jobber
going in down the road in Bastrop. A Video rental place and a Radio Shack
just poppped up like mushrooms in a field after a rain down by the WalMart.
Bastrop's poised for a major population explosion.

Thankfully the state park is offlimits and big enough that you can still escape the growth. Growth isn't all bad... tall trees are nice, chicks maturing into birds, flowers blooming...

Thankfully. They just added 9 holes to the golf course. But the rest of the
park's off limits. There's enough open space out here without sacrificing parkland.

Alrighty Austin... I have a request. I want a commitment from all you folks still living in Austin. When my good buddy (and boyfriend to one of my dearest friends), Ronnie Dawson brings his hard drivin rock-a-billy into town, you'll all get there and holler. Deal? I knew you would. Thank-you. Oh and wear your favorite 'Crazy Shoes'.

I will keep y'all informed. He was just there last month, but I hadn't re-discovered this fine place. I will stay on top from now on!

Super! We'll put up a note on our main webpage about this gig and if
they'll let me video it, I'll try and put up a tape with realaudio. I
wish you could cruise in for SXSW Gena!

I'll find out when he's gonna be there again and let you know... or I'll get his manager in touch especially about the video thing. There may be ASCAP problems with that, not to mention record contract issues.

That's cool, it's probably an issue so I'll wait to hear. Did you catch

My band, Casamar - is now playing a regular Thursday night gig at a great
African restaurant in Austin:
World Beat Cafe
600 MLK Blvd.
(near the UT campus and
2 blks. west of Guadaloupe)
Austin, TX
Thursday, December 20
8 to 10pm
(MLK and Nueces - next to Bert's BBQ)
Read a glowing review of the food in the AusChron"
http://www.auschron.com/issues/dispatch/2001-07-20/food_mini.html
and all domestic beers (after 8pm) have been affordably retrofitted to the
$1.50 price-point (where surveys tell us that value-oriented malted beverage
consumers tend to consume quantities beyond standard consumption patterns).
[Imported beer fans, fear not - a Zambezi lager awaits you].
+++What the hoi-polloi are saying about CASAMAR:
"This trio from Austin, Texas, labels this Urban Equatoria. Whatever you
want to call it, it is astounding! The international flavorings contributed
by all three make for some really great music." a r schmidt, Eclectic
Connection, MP3.com
If you haven't fled town for the holidays....this is our last show for the
year, so come on down!

Schlotzsky's downtown has cool iMac terminals for public use. No charge. You have a view of the One American Center and Starbucks across the street at Sixth and Congress. The one I'm using right now is lime green. There's a Jamba Juice right next door to Schlotzsky's. Maybe I'll drop in for a Passionfruit smoothie.
