What’s going on and my favorite TV shows

I’m taking a bit of time off from writing about music while I gear up for a hectic next few months.  Stuff in the pipe for me is VIP and Press status at Lollapalooza.  I just bought a Nikon D80 and will be taking photos of NIN, Rage Against The Machine, Radiohead, Chromeo, Brazilian Girls and as many other acts as I can squeeze in between trips to the bar at the VIP tent.  After that is Steve Porter at SKY Lounge.  This show promises to be on the order of Fortier. Steve hasn’t been to Austin ever or at least a very long time and from what I can tell, people are fired up to see him.  Marcos Barrera is in town August 8th, don’t miss this, he is a very talented DJ and a hell of a guy. I’ve got a few gigs at Firehouse and then I’m off to Burning Man from August 26th until September 2nd road trip style with 4 good friends.  I’m taking my parents RV all the way from Amarillo to NorthWest Nevada with stops planned for Vegas, Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park.  Expect a post or two with pictures from that trip for sure.  The upcoming shows at SKY Lounge promise to leave everyone deaf and broke as a joke.  I can’t divulge the line ups just yet but if you care, you’ll know about them for sure.

Quick list of my favorite TV shows:

1. Dexter – Showtime – I’m waiting for the 2nd season to come out on DVD still. 3rd season is about to start.
2. Weeds – Showtime -Amazing show that has the ability to switch between comeday and drama from episode to episode.  Check out the special features on the DVDs for some great tips on growing your own weed.
3. Lost -ABC – I was slow to get on this show but its like crack.  Again, it best to watch this show on DVD.  I’m way too impatient to wait for a new episode each week.
4. Daily Show & Colbet Report – goes without saying
5. NBA Finals, NCAA Football, and UFC – I do like sports and watching people get punched.
6. Project Runway – My girlfriend watches the fuck out of this show and I’ve come to enjoy it. I know,  kind of gay, but UFC and sports balances it out.

Shows I want to check out:

1. Hereos
2. Bones
3. The Wire
4. Californication
5. The L Word
