Tuesday night, I met my new housemates Jade and Daniel and two of their friends in my new neighborhood at the East Brunswick Club Hotel (bars and pubs are called hotels here, remember?). We saw Liam Finn play, who is the son of Neil Finn of the band "Crowded House", which is wildly popular here and playing at ACL Fest I believe. Liam Finn played at SXSW - so many connections back to Austin - I love it!!. Jade and Daniel's friends were W-I-L-D. One of them nuzzled me in a weird but funny dancing/hugging/rubbing kind of way when we were first introduced. She's a crazy one - she carried on conversations with the band throughout the concert (she was the one that answered when they asked the audience questions). They suggested that she should join them on stage for comic relief. We were "those" people - the obnoxious loud crazy people. We were having so much fun and dancing everywhere while others just seems to be mellow and watching calmly. I love my new housemates. Phill is wondering why I am already spending so much time with the new roommates, telling me I can't forget about him, and trying to make plans in the future (which kills him!). It will be strange not coming home to Phill every day. We've had a good run and I am sure there are many more good times ahead for us.
