Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:

Well, friends, I just peeked at my calendar to discover that I’ve got a relatively busy week all up in my face. Perhaps it would be therapeutic for me and informative for you if I run down my upcoming appearances. Tonight, Matt the Electrician and I return to Café Mundi where rumors of a Bruce Hughes appearance are not without merit. If you haven’t picked up your copy of Playing: Live at Café Mundi, tonight offers another chance to do just that. Do you have some aversion to personal enjoyment? I didn’t think so.

Performing as part of Jimmy Joe Natoli’s weekly showcase. Outdoor fun! At the Toney Burger Center on 290 West between Brodie Lane and Westgate Blvd.

That night, Matt & I will take our new CD to my hometown of Houston, where we’ll perform at the legendary Anderson Fair. It’s one of my favorite venues, ‘cause the sound, the atmosphere, and the people are all top notch.

What happens when you take twenty artists, designers, writers, musicians and bon vivants, give them each two minutes and the same question to answer, and turn them loose before a live audience? This is the premise of 20×2, a staple of SXSW Interactive that marks its tenth overall show in Austin on Monday, March 12th. With each show, 20×2 asks twenty participants to each answer the same question in a two-minute time frame, before a live audience. 20×2, version 7.0 (they´re numbered like software releases, get it?) asks its speakers “What If?” Be there as assorted designers, musicians, DJs, novelists and more answer the question in creative fashion.

Alright, I’m spent. Thanks for keeping up with my goings-on. See y’all out there!

Paul S. presents the top ten tunes of animal bands:

8. Regeneration Bear Band - Mississippi

“The Regeneration Bear Band has given us a glimpse of what a new Beatles album would sound like if the original members reunited. I say that with the full knowledge that two of the members are dead.”

Freshly-picked quotes from the ol’ reference collection:

I loved Mississippi and do to this day. The rainbows that stretch from horizon to horizon after a summer rain are the most spectacular I have ever seen.
