Of course I asn't in Austin when it happened, but it seemed to be well-received.<br />Hey Mast! Nice to hear from you-I'm sending love from Vienna!<br />Dear Anonymous: The crazy thing is I never even thought about that single stairway as a deathtrap. It must have been so illegal, but I was just having a great time down there! Glad to hear you got out alive as well!pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675993483165955805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970927334223123519.post-14008255311606844782010-10-26T16:02:34.106+01:002010-10-26T16:02:34.106+01:00yeah, that basement was the firetrap of all time, ...yeah, that basement was the firetrap of all time, especially with the Hickoids carting in bales of hay for ambiance. there was a little freight ramp "backstage" facing 4th street that i planned on using in case a conflagration ever broke out and everyone rushed for the single, narrow staircase. i would have grabbed whatever woman i was sleeping with at the time and drag her to safety. maybe a few fellow band members as well. luckily it never happened, and i mean luckily. i think i was one of the only people down there not smoking cigarettes...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970927334223123519.post-63738342168580695572010-10-26T14:44:23.284+01:002010-10-26T14:44:23.284+01:00I've been to Austin a lot over the past year a...I've been to Austin a lot over the past year and the fried avocado taco at Torchy's is a must!!Masthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05312611706899642740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970927334223123519.post-77021859860654958922010-10-26T13:31:25.631+01:002010-10-26T13:31:25.631+01:00Pat, you are such a wonderful writer. I loved this...Pat, you are such a wonderful writer. I loved this piece.<br /><br />I haven't been back to Texas in a decade and up until now, I haven't had the slightest desire to even visit. Your piece made me start to consider a short trip back.<br /><br />It's funny that you refer to Matt as an "amateur anthropologist" and I suppose he is. He interviewed me in London in 2008 and I would have loved to have seen the Austin exhibit. I was pleased to see the related film installation in Manhattan though and I think the book is beautiful.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08883150226772615501noreply@blogger.com
