The weekend

I went to Houston and Austin last weekend with Shannon and Quinn. We suprised our friends in Texas by showing up at Stubbs on Friday night, where isola and blue october played. Only a few people knew that we were coming for coordination purposes (Abbey I'm sorry for the stress I caused you!). The suprise went good though! The show was excellent....I hadn't seen an isola show since sxsw 2004. The new album is out and the band sounds great live. My favorite song is called "backdoor salesman," which I got to hear live and I was very happy with that! The show was sold out, so it was extremely crowded. We all got to hang out during Blue's set...got lots of fun pictures. We stayed with Matt and Abbey on Friday night, and then woke up and drove to Houston for the show at Meridian. We had to make a little detour first because Quinn forgot to close her tab at Stubbs. We would have gone to Houston from Austin, but we had to drive back to San Marcos to go through Luling to pick-up Quinn's cell phone that she left at the gas station the night before. She was awesome...leaving her little trail. I guess it was a good thing, because we were planning to leave earlier that day. But because we left later than planned, we were able to help the guys with their flat tires on the road. We sat on the side of the road for a few hours while they went to get a new tire and have it changed. I was supposed to go to Julia's house that night for her house-warming party, but because we were late getting into Houston and we hadn't showered or anything before the show, we didn't make it to Julia's! I was pretty bummed about not being able to make it....I was looking forward to seeing her and the new house and also visiting with the other people there that I don't get to see very often. Hopefully she is planning to come out here for Thanksgiving so I can see her! The weekend went by too fast. I got to see a lot of my friends and we had fun, as we always do, but it makes me sad to come home after a fun weekend like that. I wish everyone was closer so we could see each other more often.
Anyway, I don't have enough time right now to write about everything that happened this weekend or about anything else, as I have lots of work to do. Once I get the computer going at home (which should be at the end of this month), I will blog more from home. Hope everyone is well.
