Day 6

It's 4am. Do you know where your children are? If you're my parents, one of them is sitting in bed typing away...

I went to The Mohawk tonight to see Mothfight, an Austin band I've heard much about. They had a sort of noisy and dare I say Arcade Fire-type thing going on. The 3-D glasses they were giving out didn't really alter the movie playing behind them very much. Anyway, kudos for the effort.

The opening band, however, really blew me away. They're called The Noise Revival Orchestra Experience, and they're an eleven-piece band. There are horns and guitars and keyboards, multiple drum players... It was hard to see everything, and I only got to hear the last two songs- but those two songs were great. And they were all dressed up in Victorian garb, as was the theme of the night. It was really nice to see a band with such great songs and arrangements - and played by pros! At one point, they were all standing and singing together in a sort of eerie way, and it reminded me of Our Town.

I walked around in the Mediterranean festival for a bit beforehand. I wish I could have had some of the food, but alas, it's day 6 and I'm not really hungry. My face is getting clearer. That's the main thing I noticed today.

I put more cayenne in my drink today, because they juice I got from Daily Juice was a lot spicier than what I'd been making.
