The Camera They Will Let You Bring In
Most Texas rooms bounce a removable lens. A point-and-shoot is the loophole they wrote on purpose.
I Hope a Love Like This Never Finds Me.
I had a great time with Obsession. I also spent the whole back half going please do not let anybody love me like that.
Stop Calling It a Throwback
Juvenile in San Antonio. Mary at Moody Center. Those records never left the car. That is not a reunion.
I Can Count Us
Some Austin rooms you can count. Houston does not make you do that math. Dallas packs Echo Lounge and makes a point of it.
Wear the Damn Earplugs
Most Texas rooms will cook an unprotected ear. Concert plugs keep the mix instead of flattening it.
The Pregame Is the Night
The set is two hours. Dinner, parking, and a drink within walking distance are the rest of the evening.
