PJenks(ins) & Devs(ich) Dive(ish) Bar Tour of Austin

If all goes as planned, tonight will be the (first Annual???) PJenks(ins) and Devs(ich) Dive(ish) Bar Tour of Austin.

I thought up the route of the PJDDBTA on my trip down. The intended destinations:

• Lala's Little Nugget
• Poodle Dog Lounge
• Ginny's Little Longhorn Saloon
• Deep Eddy Cabaret
• Donn's Depot Piano Bar & Saloon
• Mean Eyed Cat
• Tiniest Bar in Texas

It is probably nothing new for you Austinites but I feel it is a good tour for Devs' visitor from SFO.

Thoughts? Omissions?

BT's words of wisdom

1. Re: our possible future consumption of funnel cakes.

• "Oh, make sure you get it with the white powder. It's so good."

2. Re: what went wrong with the overthrown pass to him in the endzone the night before.

• "No point thinking like that. Unless you got a time machine."

3. Re: the 17-year old kid that got killed in a car accident the first night of Czhilispiel.

• "I hope that's the only death this weekend."

Random Thoughts Whilst Watching Paranormal Activity

1. There is only one demonologist in the San Diego/Los Angeles area.

4. High-end cameras only cost half a work day's money.
5. It freezes outside in San Diego October's.

Songs That Made Me Happy At Lunch

I had to run a few errands at lunch, but the radio made it kind of nice. For once.
In order of how I heard them, not of how happy they made me...

• Neon Moon - Brooks and Dunn
• Tear-Stained Eye - Son Volt
  
• Hey Now Now - Michael Franti and Spearhead
• Loser - Beck
• Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
  

Things that made me happy today

• Derek's post, particularly the Neko Case, Deer Tick, and Fanfarlo part
• Aimee's response to Derek's post indicating she might be visiting
• Speaking of Fanfarlo, the fact that I can not get sick of that album and listened to it three times tonight while working
• DJ's email earlier inviting me to "An Evening With David Sedaris" --- the "an evening with" part cracks me up
• This sandwich I am eating right now.
  
• The pest control lady that told me, when I used the word *disaster* to describe this house that I bought and its second(!) infestation of termites, told me to "think positively" and that I was "being smart" by calling.
• The phone call from the auditor this morning that confirmed my most recent project was a success.
  
• I got all my billing done.
  
• Party planning emails with Derek and Thomas for the MP!FP! this weekend.
• That Madeline Kahn video. I have probably watched it 200 times. And counting.
  
• This website: http://www.halfbakery.com/editorial/help.html
  
• The fact that it is after midnight and I just got home from work and realized that Survivor came on tonight! Going to watch some deevs now.
