South DaCola R & R updates

Hosenpheffer went to Austin, TX last weekend and saw The Cult (see below) she also got to see roots country legend Charlie Sexton and befriended the drummer of Babes in Toyland who is organizing South by Southwest this year (and I am freaking going).

Also, the ‘2 Marks’ from the famed Sioux Falls roots country band ‘Violet’ were in town a couple of weeks ago visiting from Seattle. This is a picture of SF poet Charles Luden with them.

Hot for VP – I don’t feel ‘TARDY’

I had to laugh about these two quotes from Levi Johnston in the latest Vanity Fair article about Governor Moose Drool (the story has been taken down).

“I was at the hospital when Sarah had the baby a little after six A.M. on
April 18, 2008, two weeks before we told her we were pregnant. He was given
the name  Trig Paxxson Van Palin because Paxxson was Todd’s favorite place
to snow machine in Alaska, and because of the rock band Van Halen.

“After Tripp was born, Sarah would pay more attention to our son then to her
own baby, Trig. Sarah has a weird sense of humor. When she would come home
from work, Bristol and I would be holding Trig and Tripp. Sarah would call
Trig – who was born with Down syndrome – “my little Down’s baby.” But I
couldn’t believe it when she would come over to us and sometimes say,
playing around, “No, I don’t want the retarded baby-I want the other one”,
and pick up Tripp. That was just her-even her kids were used to it.” – Levi Johnston

Here is a link to Sarhoid’s edits to her resignation speech. As far as I am concerned, it wasn’t edited enough.
