Hey aqualung (my friend, don't you start away uneasy, you poor old.....) Sorry! Its just that everytime I see your name I start singing Jethro Tull.
No, I have not seen the LL's in Austin, although I have heard of them frequently. My favorite Austin band was the Reivers but they broke up in the 90's. Since having kids I haven't been able to see much live music. I was able to see the Deftones at Austin Music Hall and was very fortunate to see a Reivers reunion concert last year. Before that I went to Ozzfest in Houston and San Antonio to see my beloved band System of a Down. They broke up too! : (
Are you from Austin?

No, I'm originally from the SF North Bay. I learned about the LL's from a buddy of mine. The first time that I heard their version of Pink Floyd's Brain Damage I nearly busted a gut.

WOW, lots of responses here! Well my name should kinda give it away on why I left. I joined the military out of High School. I have always missed upstate NY and still do. I grew up in Latham (Colonie). I lived in a beautiful area. I miss the "green", the lakes, the leaves in the fall and occationally the snow. My husband and I both have good jobs out here now and just can't afford to go anywhere else right now. My husband is a fire fighter and makes 3-4 times more here than he would in NY or the North East. We have investment homes in real estate etc. Someday I would consider moving back or maybe getting a summer home. However yesterday when I took my dogs out for a walk and nearly froze my butt off and was cursing winter I realized how much worse it is back there right now. I seriously hate the summers here almost as much as I hate the winters back there though. They are long and brutal. Las Vegas doesn't have the beauty and culture that you can find in NY. Lake Mead is gross. I'd never let my kids swim in it. Last summer I took my family to Lake George and Grafton Lake. They loved it. If I were rich I think I'd buy me a big home back there with a fire place and just pay someone to shovel my snow )

I also love Upstate NY (Catskill area, work in East Greenbush)...heading to O'Toole's tonight on Central Ave to meet up with a friend and have a few beers. To be honest, this has been one of the more challenging winters up here. Recession has not been brutal here, though. Good luck in LV.
