Well, congrats on doing all this, Kitten! You have a local band there in
a
small town?
How far are you from Austin? (I think you said an hour, but I can't
recall).
Well, I guess that's too much of a commute, but I would expect that if I
lived in downtown Austin, I might go to some bands playing down on 6th
street (if I remember that right), if the price were right (otherwise,
probably not).
Nah, on second thought, I'd probably stay a recluse. It's interesting
to
see how easy it seems for some people to get out and about, and for
others,
not so. It's probably in the DNA.
