In between I had a free day, so I just sat around and read the morning away (the Bike Snob book). Later that night I had dinner with Storm, Ron and June at Pappadeaux on Richmond. Interesting mix. Each added his/her own flavor and unique perspective to the evening's conversation. Afterward, Ron left to meet up with his fiancée, and the rest of us went across the street to the Mucky Duck to see Skyrocket.
If you lived in Houston in the 90's, you're probably familiar with Trish and Darin Murphy - hometown siblings who played just about everywhere back then. They've both since relocated to Austin, where each of them fronts their own band. When they're not doing their original music thing, they play in probably the most accomplished 70's tribute band around - Skyrocket.
The show was actually a lot of fun. The well lubricated wives fawning over the guys in the band while their husbands watch dumbfounded was equally amusing to watch. After the show, I stepped up to an overly enthusiastic fan talking to Trish. She quickly turned to me, said hi, led me away, and thanked me for saving her from the drunk guy. So polite.
Got back to Austin late this afternoon. Managed to get in a run around Town Lake with the Allman Brothers on endless repeat.
