Broken busses – Getting in the zone – Halloweek –...
Have you ever read about Karl Bushby? He’s in the middle of the Goliath Expedition, an attempt to walk around the entire planet in unbroken footsteps, including hopping ice floes across the Bering Strait. He loaded all his supplies on a two-wheeled trailer called the beast and set out on his historic journey. Then, a few steps into his trip a wheel fell off the beast. Great start.

mattysplace asked: Hey y'all,
Any chance you'll make a trip to Vancouver Island for any shows? I'm specifically thinking of my fine hamlet of Victoria. My wife and I are two of your biggest fans (along with our 14 week old son, who has been exposed to the WMM funkiness in large and liberal doses!). It'd be awesome to see you guys! Also, loving "No Bad Days"--just killer...

Hasta la proxima vez Pedernales - 20110202, Shaun
Us: “Hmm, I’ll bet some keys would sound good on a couple of songs.” Ian McLagan of Small Faces/Faces/The Rolling Stones: “I’ll bet you’re right…”
He was right.
Willie Nelson, Billy Joe Shaver and Mac all came by and had us in stitches. Are there any boring, unfunny musicians in Austin? Not that we met.
La Cabana. We will miss you....

The artist as a young man.

Chargin' - Shaun, 20110127
Charging to the studio. I took this shot as Willie Nelson was singing on a Billie Joe Shaver song in the studio. The jokes he told us afterwards would peel the paint right off the trunk… Inside the Leviathon. A Neve for the sweetness… And an SSL for the business. Esteban Jabez Opie’s BBQ! Orgasmeat.

Are You Tex-perienced? - Shaun, 20110126
Naturally, I’ve been eating the best tex-mex food of my life in Texas. Here’s one of the rare occasions where my plate wasn’t full of beans, rice and meat wrapped in something: Bavarian smoked pork chop with potato pancake and sausages. They know their way around meat down here…
I like our espresso joint’s pecking order: firearm notice and the pope are a couple...

Pedernales
Daisy Johnson keeping an eye and ear on things.
C’mon sun, work! I thought this was the south? Figured I’d be sweating, not wishing I’d brought another sweater…
Pedernales. Pronounced, “Purdnalez”
Our chauf-fur.
The red headed stranger over the years, on a red wall.
That’s more like it! Until today the only real heat...
