Austin, Texas: Hi, How are you?

I think its fair to say we all fell in love with Austin, Texas. Aside from the heat, there was nothing not to like. We stayed with an old friend Dave Kahlili over the weekend, and quickly met some super cool folks. It was a busy weekend in Austin, with refugees fleeing a hurricane in Houston, to visitors for the Austin City Limits music festival, but we still had the best show in town. We met up with the Texas Roller girls on Friday and got some great shots. After wards some of the ladies invited us out, so we headed down to 6th st. Good times abounded and Mike even managed to get 86’d from a few places before we headed home for the night. Saturday our new friend Morgan who runs the Sin Sations sex shop rallied the troops and got us some sexy models to work with. We were too hung-over and over-worked to go big on Saturday night, and we wanted to get an early start to get to Daniel Johnston’s on Sunday so we went home early to watch Arrested Development and pass out.


Damian, Adam and Mike are already fans of Daniel Johnston and the rest of the crew have had an extensive introduction to his music during the trip so far. Any one familiar with Daniel Johnston’s simple, heartfelt tunes might expect him to be pretty introverted and shy but Danny was real friendly and made us feel welcome. Mike put it best when he said, “It was like meeting a Beatle.”
