Two more days left in Austin. I’ve set the wheels in motion to be living here by October or November. The opportunities for someone like me in this city are very, very clear to me at this point.

Yesterday I lost my notebook (must have fallen out of my pocket) and had basically a full-fledged panic attack thinking I would lose everything I had written down all week.

I retraced my steps, speed-walking almost two miles from Halcyon Coffee to Hotel Vegas, and was massively relieved to find that the door guy had my notebook. It had been probably about 2 hours, and I noticed it was missing when I reached in my bag to note that Halcyon was an awesome coffee shop.

Best sets yesterday:

Colatura @ Lazarus Brewing

Reyna Tropical @ Hotel Vegas (She Shreds Fundraiser)

Spencer Thomas @ Lambert’s 

Rose Hotel @ Lambert’s

Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country @ Antone’s 

Brainstory @ Antone’s

In general, Antone’s has the best sound out of any venue I’ve been to in Austin so far. The Daniel Donato set there had a way better mix than the one at Empire.

Pretty awesome sets there last night. I’ve heard from people around here that Antone’s is known for their sound. It’s a really nice system and they had a crisp mix for all sets I saw.
