Happy Star Wars Day! I’m not much of a Star Wars Buff myself but it’s always fun to get into the spirit with a pun like May the 4th be with you. Another favorite of mine is “It’s Gonna Be May” and only the kids who grew up with *NSYNC will get that joke.

Well, I don’t know if I’m fighting a cold, allergies, or plain old chest congestion. The weather here has been a little bi-polar considering it was raining 2 days ago (for two days) and now it’s sunny and 80-something degrees outside. Crazy.

Sorry for the late post. I was dead tired last night and didn’t get around to writing this till the morning and then I wen to the barn and time just flew away fro me. But, I finally feel human again! Well, I’ve been feeling better since the middle of last week but haven’t been 100% sure about things so I’ve been slowly testing different foods. I finally gave in a few days ago and ordered pizza because I’d been seeing pizza ads on tv and the power of suggestion was overwhelming. Yesterday I had Mexican food for the first time since getting sick and all seems good so I’m pretty happy. Yay for health!

I can’t believe it’s already been a week since I got back from SXSW. I did bring back a minor cold with me, which is better than last year when I showed up and left with a cold. So there’s that. However, I will admit to not being 100% myself today when doing this post. I ended up in Urgent Care on Saturday and although I feel loads better than when I went in, I’m not really myself. So consider this an advance apology if anything is missing from the calendar this week.

Howdy Friends! I’m still in Austin, waiting for my 8:30pm flight to take me home and even though I’ve check out of the hotel, I’m hanging out on the second floor with cozy chairs, free wifi, and free hot teat. I’m pretty happy to hang here until I need to get going. I also can’t wait to get back to real life. I’m not sure Kristen agrees with me but I’ve been missing my gym classes. Walking and standing all day might make me sore, but it’s not the good kind of sore from a good workout. Anyways, we got some great acts coming through this week. I wish I was back in town in time to catch Neulore at the Casbah tonight. Some SXSW acts are coming through this week like The Ting Tings, Rubblebucket, Jeff The Brotherhood, Broncho, and Black Rivers so you should go catch one of them.
