The Austin Record Convention was this past weekend. Early shopping fee on Friday was $40 so to heck with that. I showed up with all the regular Joe's at 10am on Saturday. Glad that the venue has changed from the Crockett Center to the Palmer Events Center even just for the improved cleanliness of the hall.
Whenever I walk into ARC, I immediately find the guy who has 3 tables of 12"s for a dollar a piece. It's never the same guy, but this guy always seems to be at each of the conventions. Sure enough I found him, this time a guy from Houston, and I was quite happy to dig up the following:
And I now have a double of this if anybody needs one:
But beyond the records, it stormed like crazy Saturday night. And then it stormed like crazy again Monday afternoon. I've known Shoal Creek to overflow its banks every now and then and it even killed someone back in the 90's, but nobody has ever seen it rise out this far:
But hey, at least our vastly depleted Lake Travis gained 22 feet in a single week.
Crazy times.
