We made it to the Eyes Adrift show Saturday. It was a two hour drive to get to Austin but because they played an early show we got back into Houston before 1am. The problem with them playing so early (opening acts went on at 6!) was that Eric didn't have much time to show me around the city.

If you're unfamiliar with the band, Eyes Adrift is Curt Kirkwood (Meatpuppets) Krist Novoselic (Nirvana) and Bud Gaugh (Sublime) The band rocked! They only played an hour but I'm sure they don't have that much material yet. Krist seemed aloof and made lots of "I'm an idiot" faces on stage, as well as the usual between song banter. Curt made a few dorky faces himself. I ended up meeting the band. They seemed tired and unenthusiastic with the fans. After getting autographs and pictures with everyone we walked around a little until the crowd died down. When I got to talk to Krist he shook my hand and thought my Nirvana tattoo was cute. I explained about the tat on my wrist and he took out his sharpie and circled it. I originally thought he was going to scribble it out or circle it and put an X through it. I gave him a very quick explanation of how I first heard Nirvana and how long I've been a fan. He bent down and kissed me on the cheek and I thought instead that he was bending down to hug me so it was kind of awkward and we ended up hugging anyway after he'd started to stand upright again. Some of them didn't turn out, but I got a lot of good pictures. I'll send a link when I get them scanned.

Two down, one to go....

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
