Coal, Cotton & Dust Tour

SXSW recap , Video, etc.

Hey folks! We just got home from SXSW. Here’s a quick list of the things we did, in order of significance. Ya’ll will have to decide for yourself wether it’s descending or ascending.

1. Drank Lonestar Beer

2. Drank Shiner Bock

3. Saw Matthew Mcconaughey

4. Waited in line

5. Met some rad dude from a radder band called Ha Ha Tonka

6. Played some rockin’ shows including an official showcase with the New Familiars, Fishtank Ensemble, and The Asylum Street Spankers

7. Waited for three and a half hours for a cab, only to give up and busk on a corner with a banjo until a kind Austin resident offered a ride.

That about does it for the interesting stuff. We had a great time, but we’re happy to be home and back on our diet of rye whiskey and Pabst Blue Ribbon. We’re off to our favorite spot on the continent, Aberdeen, NC. We’ll be staying with the Rooster’s Wife and having a grand old out on the porch. We’ll hit you ya’ll up soon enough, but until then here’s a little eye candy from our good friend Roscoe. He put this video together for us to submit to Prairie Home Companion. It’s a little tune called Rueben’s Train
