Nursing wounds and waiting to start again

I am officially smug. Last weekend's recommendation for The Knux show at Beauty Bar proved to be totally on point. The show was truly the shit, with the insane/surreal opening act trying his best to be the 21st Century version of the 69 Boyz, thus creating a truly lasting impression on me and my partner in crime. The weather sucked and sweat was everywhere, but we didn't care; The Knux were the shizzle and I would love to see them again. Don't hate that you didn't get to see them for $5 when they blow up this fall. You were properly notified.

So, I took a break last night, and though I am not fully recovered, the drinking starts again tonight: One of my fave things to do every month is the $10 wine tasting at Spec's South. You get 20 tastes, food samples, and a wine glass to take home for a measly $10. Since I am not much of a wine drinker, however, I tend to get a bit tipsy at this event, so if I were you, I'd turn off my phone around 8:30pm, because I tend to make booty calls around that time. Yep. Though not tonight, because I will definitely be watching the Spurs game after the wine.

Thursday night is Amanda Marcotte at Monkey Wrench Books. She is a badass local, feminist blogger, and her new book, It's a Jungle Out There, is hilarious. She is doing a reading at 7pm, and she seems like she's really fun. I won't be making it to that, unfortunately, because I will be having too much fun doing happy hour and (hopefully) gay bars with Casey and Sinclair. monkeywrenchbooks.org.

Of course I'll post again before the weekend, but if you are a David Sedaris fan, plan your Saturday morning accordingly: he will be at Book People in June, but to be one of the 500 people to actually get to talk to him and have your book signed, you need to get a voucher. The vouchers (which convert into the book) go on sale at 9am. bookpeople.com. Oh, and Chuck Palahniuk is coming on June 5th to UT. Go ahead and remove your hands from your pants and tell your friends...

Kisses,
