Pretty much the whole shebang at that festival. Fire twirling, mung bean eating hippies for four days could send me homicidal!

Carla March 10, pm. I spent 8 days in Austin, I wish I could have stayed longer. The place has such a cool vibe and I was staying with two American friends who were absolute sweethearts and wonderful hosts. Triggerman was also fantastic and let me tag along with him to a few gigs which was fun. Go figure. Muddy Roots would be amazing. My friends and family down there are all okay but their homes are munted, completely destroyed. Your government has been amazing, NSW police and hundreds of Aussie search and rescue specialists were on the ground in Christchurch within hours of it happening.

Just marvellous, your guys saved many many lives. They did such a wonderful job and are still down there working very hard.

Thank you for sending them over to us. Denise March 9, am. Cowgirl Up Kay March 14, pm. Denise March 15, am. Why does Texas have to be so far away?!!! I feel the same way. March 15, am. You got it! I am gonna write us a story too. John Duer March 10, pm. Doors at 5 I think ; shows begin at HBHQ March 11, pm. No, Your Product March 13, am.
