Valerie June, gone too soon

 
It's Thirsty Thursday!  This week is flying by thanks to having some extra time off.  I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend, I know I did.  I didn't get to spend too much time outside this past weekend because it stormed quite a bit, but the rain is always needed here in Texas.  I got to do some foodie shopping at one of my favorite stores in Austin, Central Market.  I got some herbs to plant in my garden, which desperately needs a makeover.  I had family over on Monday, so of course there was more food than we really needed.  And beer.  There is always beer. 
 
Tuesday I had dinner at Stubb's BBQ and visited with some friends that were in town and on tour with Valerie June.  She played a small, solo, acoustic set at Stubb's and I was glad I got to see her play in an intimate setting.  She is quite the character.  She is gorgeous, has the cutest twang in her voice and is quite the storyteller.  She made me laugh several times throughout the performance talking about how she got caught stealing gum as a child and also a Barbie doll from a friend when she was 5.  During some songs, she even growled and referred to her guitars as her children.  She played ACL Live the following night which I'm sure she rocked.  Check her out, she's a doll!
 
That was my weekend in a nutshell.  Any fun stories to share?!  Until next time....
