Austin City Limits Music Festival Epilogue

So what if I'm in Albuquerque on my way to Califonia, I've got more to say about Austin City Limits.

So, Dawn and I called it a day early but I wanted to go to Stubb's BBQ in Austin, if for no other reason, Todd turned me onto the sauce years ago.  As an added bonus, the Black Keys were tearing it up on the stage at Stubb's there was no need for any wrist band, they could clearly be heard over anything else in the bar.  Anyway, Dawn and I were kicking back, enjoying some appetizers waiting for our main meals to come out.  When I see someone coming up the stairs, and I think, that dude looks familiar.  Where do I know him, then I realize DJ Dangermouse was coming up some sort of VIP enterance from the basement.  I was trying to play it cool, and yet get Dawns attention.  You know that kind of closed mouth, through gritted teeth, "hey dawn, look over there...isn't that DJ Dangermouse?"  she finally gets the hint and looks up.  I decide I want to shake his hands, were both Athenians after all, but he dissapeared into a VIP section before I could.  So, feeling I may have missed a chance, I went back to my meal, and then discussed our near brush with fame again, when, who should walk in bigger then life, but Cee-lo, much more outgoing, it was easy to catch his eye, shake his hand and tell him what a good show he put on, and they we we're from athens, but really enjoyed our visit to Austin.  Somehow, the Athens talk sparked the interest of one of the entourage, and we talked with him about Athens some, as he was also a native Athenian.  He was helpful in getting DJ Dangermouse over, and we got to shake his hand too.  He was much more resereved, and although appreciated meeting a few fans and talking about being from Athens, he clearly did not want to be a center of attention, so he was also quick to leave.  No matter, we had now met Gnarls Barkley.  How cool?  Well, the guy from the entourage was busy picking up a actress/model or something.  Well, because they were VIP's they got food on the house, and they had a big plate of leftovers from food that they weren't going to eat.  Packed in a take out box, the entourage guy I guess on the basis of our conversation, decided to give the food to us, with a little speech about how he didn't want to insult us, but if we wanted it, we could take it.  So we did.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Gnarls Barkley('s entourage guy's) leftovers.

The End.
