I love live music and beer. I am training for the marathon next yr in Feb. I work for a non-profit agency full-time w/benefits. I love going out and supporting live and local music.
You can find me all around town on my bike or on foot. I have a new car but hardly use it.

      Rio Rita is such a relaxing place to spend your days, at the cafe, and at night, at the bar. Love and a 45 is every Monday, and what better place to spend a hectic Monday than the ever-chill Rio Rita? Bonus, you are allowed to bring your own 45s to play in the bar. I can’t imagine a better way to spend your Monday nights, if you’re out.

      modern mel on SXSW Rachael Ray's Feedback Party @ Stubb's

      over 2 years ago

      I just wanted to say that this party was definitely very exciting, well worth the wait, and more than I expected. The ONLY thing that bugged the crap out of me was the sound for Dr. Dog. I would like to personally say that seeing one of my favorite (and VERY good band), Dr. Dog, get blown to pieces with the horrendous sound (feedback, vocals dropping in and out, the kick and drums being WAY too loud - its a drum kit, you don't need to blast it lame sound guy(s)) was definitely embarrassing as an Austinite. Austin lives breathes, and owns every right to be the Capital Music of the World and having that sound guy(s) butcher it badly in front of an over capacity crowd was definitely disappointing and immature. If you know the sound company who was in charge of the North Stage at this party, please give me some kind of clue. I have a very experienced sound engineer (and not recording sound engineer) who can run live music in this city to a high standard. He'd blow your face off without having to make it loud.
