I'm heading back to Austin for the weekend to work on a project. I plan to pick on my brother a bit and take in the beautiful, sunny, 35°F weather.

Oh, and a thing I forgot: I have a spare ticket to Lou Reed's Berlin at St Ann's Warehouse next Thursday the 14^th December at 8:00 p.m. Lisa is going to the second of the Coast of Utopia series that night.

So, if you are 1) someone I actually know and not just a random reader of the site and 2) are going to be in New York next Thursday drop me a note at my gmail address (it's the domain name here sans '.net' @ gmail.com, also visible over here.

Berlin was Reed's 1973 followup album to Transformer. He never performed it live. This series at St. Ann's Warehouse is (I believe) the first performance of the album in public and he's doing a limited series of concerts for it.
