* LIVE ACTION SHOWS * --->

The San Antonio scene is lookin' promisin'. I was last there for
the Makers/Drags show at Tacoland on ___ November. I never
would have known about the show if it wasn't for a telephone
tip I had passed along to me, which is something that is quite a
problem: there is very little publicity for SA shows here, and
vice-versa. That Texas show list that was happening for a
while was great, but I haven't seen one in a while (but that
may very well be my fault- that I haven't seen one, that is).

Other than that, however, there are all those great bands down
there that we all know about- the Sons, Big Drag, Dropouts...
But the key is that there are actually some people down there,
I think. I really hope they get somethin' goin' cause pretty
soon, this town's gonna fill up and we're all gonna have to go
into exile, so we might as well go ahead and try to prime our
closest alternative now.

Anyway, the show was fun. The Makers were kinda mediocre,
but I liked them much better than at their lame show in
Austin. Great background music, but they just bore me live.
The Drags are always great to see, though and friendly to boot.

During the break between the Drags and the Makers sets,
Susan espied Heath of Satans fame meanderin' down the street
next to Tacoland with a 40 or somethin'. Turns out, a group of
fellow Austinites was hangin' out weighing their options (cover
was kinda high), so we had a welcome break from the Tacoland
crowd.

But the trip is always worth it- San Antonio is just far enough
from Austin to make it feel like you've gotten away, but close
enough that you know you can be in your own bed within two
hours. And you just can't beat the feelin' of standin' in the
street out behind the Pearl brewery and knowin' they make
shitty beer, but it's cheap and you don't care.
