Inside the Austin City Limits
Didn't take long to get the feel of Austin. My cabbie had a space Sirius radio setup that he was using to listen to Outlaw Country while simultaneously capturing the tunes on his computer in the shotgun seat. Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings and Emmylou Harris. Oh, and some other band called the Beat Farmers, banging out a song called, "Are you drinkin' with me Jesus?" Good times.
The good vibe quickly ended after arriving at the Erwin Center. Thanks to catching a 6 a.m. flight from RDU, I made it to the media center just in time to get to the media buffet before the Michigan State media conference. But despite a schedule which clearly states - Media Buffet, noon - we were turned away and told to come back at 4:30. Thanks.
So I went up the concourse for a jumbo dog and nachos. Bad times.
But hey, I ain't complaining. I could always be in Syracuse.

Austin over Syracuse any day of the week! You may want to keep an ear out for a band called Reckless Kelly. Of course, Robert Earl Keen, Jerry Jeff, and Asleep at the Wheel are also guaranteed to make the Good Times column.
Say hey to Mack for us.
Go Heels! Go ACC!

Glad you mentioned Robert Earl. I'll have to check if he's playing somewhere around here this weekend. If so, I'm there.
