Anybody Remember Vitamin F?

Wow. I have about five minutes to myself on the computer, which is rare nowadays. Since moving to Austin, our schedule has been pretty hectic: off to Atlanta, then back with the kiddos, then off to ACL fest, and work in between. It's all been pretty amazing! Life with Mike, the Rockstar, and Miss Thing has been completely wonderful. Something will inevitably make me laugh my ass off every day. The Rockstar told me the other day how when he farts, he imagines himself being launched off like a rocket into the air. Now I do the same thing.....

Hotlanta Synchronicity

Well, I raced down to Austin for a great reason. Mike and I went off to Atlanta (where does that Hotlanta nickname come from anyways?) for the Drive-Invasion and all things good in Atlanta. Two of the stellar Chicken Ranch bands played: Tiger Tiger and the Woggles and put on brilliant shows during two days of hot rods, jalapeno corn dogs, and b movies. Leonie, you would go mad for this thing! Tiger Tiger got us started Saturday, and ready for "The Reanimator" on the drive in screens. But here's the kicker of the weekend: the Woggles were actually a band that T and I saw back in Tokyo. It was great talking about Japan, music, and pirates with all of them during the festival, and at their Christmas video shoot in the days after. I also got to see the Mega Green Beans with their little sprout, Norah.
