Waterloo & The Horseshoe Lounge

Monday 16^th May 2011 – Austin TEXAS

Breakfasted at the Wholefoods (if it’s possible to be in love with a supermarket I know am) outdoor café accompanied by the crazy chatter of the blackbirds that live in Austin before Leon headed over to Waterloo records for a good hour and came back with a load more CDs but a seriously depleted bank balance.  Then it was back onto the bus for a trip to the Horseshoe Lounge, a proper dive bar with advertisements on the toilet wall for bail bondsmen and offers to women to buy their eggs.  A couple of drinks and a few rounds of shuffleboard later was realised that we both suck at shuffleboard, before heading back into town and spying this little lizard fella basking in the midday sun.

Beerland

Sunday 15^th May 2011 – Austin TEXAS

Wandered back downtown through the State Capitol building with bats hunting insects circling above and headed for Beerland to see the Pine Hill Haints, a traditional bluegrass/folk/honky tonk/country band on tour from Alabama.  Surprisingly also on tour and supporting them was Sam Barrett from Leeds.  You certainly don't expect to travel nearly 5000 miles to see a guy sing, who you can see in Leeds (for half the price!). The music was running incredibly late though and was nearly murdered by the guys on before Sam so by the time Sam and then the Haints made it onto the stage everyone was long past ready for bed.  Sam even dedicated one of his songs to Leon, I didn't get a song dedicated, or even half a song for that matter though I have a sneaky suspicion it's because Sam has no idea what my name is.  An early start and a late finish to the day meant a very tired Lou and Leon dragged themselves back to the hotel and fell into bed.
