The drive from Austin to Lubbock thankfully blew by quickly. Plenty of good company and good tunes passed the time. The spring rains made Texas -- even west Texas -- gorgeously green. Wind energy might one day power all our houses and gadgets. I wonder how many giant windmills it takes to power a cell phone? Don Quixote wouldn't stand a chance against the Texas panhandle plains.



Jake's welcomed us with a fine bar food meal and stellar sound system. Andrew managed the sound expertly. Some folks enthusiastically turned up to see us. Lots of folks came for Spoonfed Tribe's rock styled drum heavy beat-fest. The crowd responded well to our set. Despite the heavy smoke (are my eyes bleeding?), we enjoyed our Spring tour kickoff.



I don't think we'll stay at the Texas Motor Inn again. Nuje and Ian need to get eye masks.
