fine arts at eanes and My Bloody Valentine
some things remain constant. kids love to roll down hills. as long as there are grassy hills and kids, there will be this simple expression of gravity. he rolled down the hill while his sister sang with the fourth grade for fine arts night.
she also played the glockenspiel.
a man of many talents, Mr VanDyke. he's about the coolest teacher any kid could ask to have and my daughter is already upset by the fact that the school year is about to end.
menage a trois, birthday party, pizza party, and thanks for watching the kids while we had a MY BLOODY VALENTINE evening.
the opening band was Lift to Experience. if you are into psychadelic, appocolyptic, mind bending songs about Jesus and the sword of God, they just might be what you are looking for.
if you are thinking the pic above is a a bit distorted... that would be an accurate evaluation of the performance. it also greatly resembles the cover of their album Loveless. the show was LOUD! they passed out ear plugs upon entry to the austin music hall. even with ear plugs, my ears rang for 48 hours after the show. kat said she wished she could have understood the lyrics. I assured her that it was an accurate recreation of their recorded music, just as distorted and blurry.
we spent some time before the show with our friend chad wadsworth, his pics of the show are posted at the http://austinist.com/2009/04/22/snapshots_my_bloody_valentine_austi.php
