Gabe only drank a bit - as he convinced me to go on a short trip to a place called Mount Bonnell. (authors note...I have kept drinking since noon). Standing on this cliff above the river that runs through Austin - hearing all these little black birds singing, the warm sun...and then I realized I'm turning 23 years next week! Thats when the tears welled. I felt successful. I felt accomplished...and like I AM living my life as I wish, not cowering to my fears.
So on this mountain we smoked Parliment Lights - and I swigged more whiskey - for an hour without speaking much accept about the view from Mt.Bonnell. Then it was 2pm and Gabe had to do to class. He just dropped me back on Guadalupe. Wireless is everywhere here! I love Austin.
As a recap...Last night I walked 6th Street and avoided many scary bars. Loud packs of drunk girls everywhere. Not my scene!
I did kiss a cute athletic guy I met at Club DeVille last night. We sat in his car and smoked a spliff he had...then we went at it for a few minutes...he asked me to come home with him...but I got an odd safetly vibe and declined. Instead I accepted a ride back to the Days Inn. (note to music friends...do the Pixies play on every bar stereo?!?! I think I heard Debaser in 2 different place within 15 minutes!)
Apparently there is a huge international Film and Music festival that is about to begin. I met a group of guys from New York City who are in Austin the next week to write about the events and critque pictures. Unfortunatley an expensive pass is required to attend the festivities...so I'll be missing that.
I did make it to Antoines Records store. Awesome stuff! I didnt buy anything...I'm sick of carrying the backback..its heavy allright! I may see a store called "WaterLoo"! I hope ABBA is not involved in that place. LOL
