It was Tara's birthday, and we were going to miss her party during the weekend, so we had some live music and drinks in mind. Many years ago, Tara, Carrie and I went to a bar on 6th Street to see a new band that was getting popular with the college kids. A Reckless Kelly show at Lucy's Retired Surfer's Bar was a big night out back then. Last week, the band was doing an in-store, so we got Tara to go along, for old time's sake. Waterloo was giving tickets away for the band's show that night at Antone's, and one of the ways to win was to prove that it was your birthday. Ding! Tara wins.
Reckless Kelly at Waterloo.We all walked down to Z Tejas for Margaritas (In the top 3. Still haven't had the other 2 best this summer.) Good times.
Long story short, none of us could muster the energy to go to the show later that night. Carrie and I packed for the trip, and Tara had to work the next day. Age, and the need for sleep won out. Is this how a Summer of Jay is supposed to go? Rockin' til 1:00 A.M., then getting up pre-dawn to drive for 11 hours would have provided some real blog-worthy material. I'm sorry if I let you all down.
Tomorrow: On to Branson.
Peace,

There was a party over the weekend? Have I developed such a reputation as a no-show that nobody bothers anymore? Does this sound whiny? Does it sound even whinier to ask for a whininess evaluation?
