Saturday afternoon – a nail-biter with UT barely taking home the win from Central Florida.

Went to the Astro Arena for a concert Friday night. Free tickets + $10 to park. The Killers were the main act. They added a super sucky opening opening band. Louis IV played second.

Louis IV was good, but like the entire night, the balance was super crappy. I think it’s indigenous to all large venues – pumping too much bass and sub-bass to inappropriate music, and leaving the vocals inaudible.

We left soon after the Killers started. I continue to be underwhelmed by them. They are now enhancing their tepidness with gaudy stage theatrics (which were at least a little cool).

I ran into Richard Naudin, Law, and Wiley at various times. Law: “The Killers? Really?” Me: “free tickets”.

Then I tried to get as much sleep as possible, then spent 11+ hours at Verison Wireless for The Governor’s Cup of Roller Derby – 4 bouts. Then several more hours at the after party. I slept hard after that.

Apparently  while I was doing derby, the Texans won their game to be 2-0 for 2007.  The 8-8 season may be within their grasp.
