The Grifters are about to play in Chicago and I am sadly stuck in Austin. Here’s wishing y’all a glorious time tonight, band and fans!

This one time…in 1995…I rode from Minneapolis to Chicago with the Grifters. It woulda been a swell time, except I got into a car wreck right before I left Austin, and suffered from whiplash the whole trip, which I compounded by trying really hard to drink it away. Oh who am I kidding? It was awesome anyway! My brother Ben and his friend Carl totally agreed!
