All week/day I was preparing to be at a showcase happening in the old Barracuda space, and by night I knew I couldn’t make it. My needs shifted around 9:40 P to a local show, happening in my neighborhood for Free, featuring 3 Austin electronic artists, all new to me. Consciously I matched to the needs of the setting for dance; adidas x adidas and the Paloma Wool sweater over a black leotard, sporting for warmth. Before self parking, keep in mind, “Do Not Park at Nice Kicks, they will boot your car.” Sound was bumping out the open market doors. No line, No badges. Above the bevs is THE AUSTIN #1 10 in band tees, and I found Angel! 1/2 of Frost Children, who performed there days before, somehow between eight set times for the short sxtime here. The crowd present was happy to be there; cheering, dancing, talking, enjoying the space, creative together, freely, and accepted, staying hydrated, some sober, coming in for the music and going to the next location as you wished. Listening/dancing, I browsed for my 1 self prescribed treat for show-going to bring home. Leaving just past midnight with my strawberry hi-chews, I met the owner smiling as wide as the open door, as cool as he had during all set times behind the table vibing, and I thanked him for the good music night. He invited me back mentioning music nights (Thursday and Saturday, and trying to add Fridays). I asked why and agreed when he answered, “More.”
