plans for my 50th trip around the sun

so it looks as though i might be getting to see radio birdman in austin after all. my sweetie's last day of school this year is june 21st, so she and i are thinking of taking a couple of days (assuming i can get sunday and monday off from the market) and heading down there to begin the celebration of my half-century of existence. then, if allah is merciful and fortune smiles, i'll get to play a stoogegig at el wreck on the actual day (june 28th), if the j'int still be open by then.
