Barracuda, Austin Live Rock Venues still exist.

A lot has been made and read about Austin's self proclaimed, "Live Music Capitol of the World Status." Is this moniker really true? Maybe.

Last night I personally went and attended a $29 dollar ticket to see one of my favorite Rock Bands of All-time, "The Get Up Kids" backstage at the Barracuda. The Barracuda is a genuine, dark, boozy, 2 stage rock venue in the Red River District of Austin Texas, downtown on 7th street.

The atmosphere is rock club authentic. $5 dollar tall boy beer, loud stage pumping music, friendly conversational rock club goers, and a navigable atmosphere.

"The Get Up Kids" a rock, indie, emo 5 piece band from Kansas City were excellent. I got too excited and amped, but overall I had an excellent time. They played wonderfully, encore and all.

I even got to snap a quick photo with the lead singer of MINERAL, another excellent Rock Band.

So, don't forget if you are going to pay the high rental, property tax and residential living costs to call Austin, Texas Home, remember to leave your place and go let loose and rumble within Austin, Texas every so often.

Best Life Regards.

Austin, Texas has a DOG PROBLEM.....

Austin, Texas has a DOG problem (Letter I wrote and sent) Dear Austin City Council Members, Hello and well regards, Yesterday afternoon during a simple bicycle pedal exercise ride, I was physically chased by an unleashed Pitbull dog in ZILKER PARK. Then directly after recovering from almost being mauled by an unleashed pit-bull in Zilker Park, I attempted to buy a Gatorade at a nearby Barton Springs Road Market, but that didn't go well either, as an interior Market commercial customer had a massive mixed breed dog trolling through the diminutive shopping isles. Then this morning, at a Coffee shop on SoCo, there was only 1 entry way in and out, and there was another large, although more docile mixed breed dog. All of this has occurred in less than 24 hours. What's the point? The City of Austin's dog friendliness and citizen enabling of irresponsible dog owners has gotten out of control. Newsflash! Not everybody like dogs, being everywhere all the time. especially within ...
