Trippin'

Tomorrow, Miss B. and I set off for Alamogordo. Home of white sand, Caliche's, and close to the INN OF THE MOUNTAIN GODS (you can't say that name without booming it out) resort and casino. We will be trekking to the casino so that Beth can get her grandma plastered...I mean...so that Beth and her Grandma can spend quality time together (hehheh), and so I can see my favorite trio'd group o' Nashvillians...Shedaisy. WOOHOO! The last two times I have seen them live, I have had kind of cruddy seats. Or had to sit through teenagers two-stepping at the State Fair (not cool). This time, I think the venue is more intimate and my seats had better be an improvement from Tingley "Cow Palace" Coliseum. Not that I ask much.

Otherwise, Ben and I played a successful gig at the UNM Sustainability Fair today -- we sold 4 CDs and those are good times. It took us about a year to get rid of the 100 copies of our first album...which was pretty good. This time, the CD has been "available" for a month and we've already sold over half. Which means I gotta get more printed. And more of the old CD. Why do things cost money? :) But it's all good news.

Beth and I can't get enough of driving around, so we leave for Austin Scouting next week. I will see apartments...we'll see some concerts...we'll stay in Buda which is so NOT pronounced correctly in Texas...good times. Hello 12-hour drive.
