Black crowes, bats and a pygmy or two

Finally a weekend where I was busy and still managed to get my laundry done and my closet sorted. Lately it seems that I have just been running all weekend. I am never able to get to those mindless tasks that need to be done. I think I finally have figured out how to do both. Play and work - you just don't sleep.

Friday night was the bat boat tour. A peaceful boat ride up the scenic Houston bayou *ugh* to a bridge that supports a 300,000 bat colony of Mexican free tail bats. We sat and watched as the bats vortexed and flew about, leaving the bridge for a night of feasting.

Saturday night was a concert (Velcro Pygmies) of an 80's metal type band. They do some covers, Whitesnake, Kiss, Guns-n-Roses. I am actually ashamed to say that I knew all the words to most of the songs. The highlight of the evening was watching a friend remove a blow-pop from the guitarist’s pants. Very nice. Later she had “one of the twins” signed - so really it was a high class evening [grin].

Sunday night it was watching the Black Crows, outdoors on a blanket in the breeze. Not a blow pop in sight.

All in all a busy time with laughter, drinks, and mayhem. And I still managed to come out with clean clothes and all my shoes in boxes. Brilliant.
