Hey ya!

Austin has been all about the music for us. So far we've managed to purchase 8 cd's. 7 from a local music shop that our friend Lars showed us. One from the show we went to last night which was great: Thao and the Get Down Stay Downs! The lead singer is from SF so it was no wonder it felt like home listening to them. Awesome band.

We also caught some of the opening band, the Portland Cello Project. 4 cellos playing things like Pantera's "Mouth for War" (sweet), and Outkast's "Hey Ya". They had everyone singing out loud to the last one in a contest to see which city is the loudest. Austin, of course, has the best score so far. We blew everyone else away with a 9.5. Houston got a 7 just the night before. Go Austin!
