Jewelry set updated

The word from Austin is that Amanda's stuff went over well tonight at the opening. The set is also coming together on Flickr, and I was looking for an excuse to post this photo, so here you go.

Amanda gets entrepreneurial

Amanda's jewelry line, pistols & rubies, is now online. It'll be making its debut at the new First Samples boutique in Austin, which is also opening just this weekend. More pictures to come on Flickr, but these were the first two we got up.

Many thanks to Chad for helping out today with the web stuff. He's posting new music on Spherical again finally. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, start with the lost classic of our generation "Government Girl" and work back.

Found while cleaning up

Came across the photos from when I went to Picher, Oklahoma to do a story on that dying mining town. They're now up in a set on Flickr.

Also found this old conversation jotted down from when Amanda and I were moving in:

As the song "Chocolate Jesus" plays

Amanda: This is my favorite Tom Waits song.

Me: I thought you didn't like church.

Amanda: This is about the opposite of church. It's about chocolate.
