Shooter plays Antones

7 o clock on Friday night we were wondering what to do with ourselves, and music was on the mind. I remembered that a friend of a friend had some music connections in Austin. After multiple emails back and forth we learned that late country outlaw Waylon Jennings only son, Shooter Jennings was making an appearance at the legendary Antone's on 5th st in downtown Austin. After finding out that we had 3 free tickets plus V.I.P seating, we were out the door and ready to have some fun.

On the way to the club I learned that Antones has been referred to as home of the blues since 1975, and has hosted countless legendary performers including Buddy Guy, B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Muddy Waters to name a few.

The show was amazing, the night was long, new friends were made, and the drinks were flowing. A high five and big thanks to close homie Jessica and new friend Brooke from c3p for making the night extra fun.

And by the way Soprano fans, Shooter Jennings has a five month old baby girl named Alabama Gypsy Rose with long time girlfriend Drea de Matteo. Hot.

9th St. Artwork

The first place I wanted to visit in Austin was the legendary bmx trails off of 9th street. I really had no idea as to where it was on 9th street, so Jana and I started cruising the area and with 30 minutes it found us. It is simply a work of art, I wished I had brought my bike.

Over the past 8 years I have only seen the trails through bmx videos and photos in magazines. There are over 50 different jumps and more than 10 rideable lines. All the jumps are handmade by shovel, and with water access these trails are ever changing and well maintained. The locals have built a small skatepark like bowl setup out of dirt that is amazing and as hard as concrete.

BMX = ART
