Blanco State Park is located on the south shores of the Blanco River, in Blanco County, Blanco Texas. Blanco Blanco Blanco! Sister counties are jealous. It’s a quaint small hill country town, and the park has a more diverse patronage then many other state parks, presumably reflecting the makeup of Blanco. It’s also the only state park I’ve seen in Texas within walking distance of a bar.
Vampire Weekend played at Emo’s Lounge in Austin, TX. Their songs are bright, tight, pop, intelligent; described as “Upper West Side Soweto”. They’ve released Digital-Restrictions-Management-free mp3s from their E.P.. You can find it at http://digital.othermusic.com/view/5966 or buy a DRM-free lossless CD through their site. Keep an eye on this band!
You know who you are: they’re playing in Portland, Oregon July, 21 2007 at Holocene (1001 SE Morrison).
