So...Lambert's was a really upscale 'nouveau bbq' place in the warehouse district. Not that the menu didn't sound good,but it was a bit high. the trumpet player arrived and then left, did not play with the band. I'm not sure what that was about. The audience was mostly the dancers' friends and they talked thru a lot of the music, but eventually the talkers either left or started paying attention to the show. But Wino Vino put on a great show and were awesome, as always.

Parker House was....a....house. in East Austin. Apparently the people who live there put on house concerts from time to time with various local bands. It was so very beatnik/boho. We were hesitant to approach the house at first, but once we got inside, it was very comfortable and nice. the band was great. Their washboard player is terrifying and dead sexy, all at once. Like...she'd kiss you with the most amazing kiss you'd ever had in your life and then bite your nose off and hiss like a kitty kind of thing. Anyway, great show, and good that it started at 9 and ended at 10 because Thax had to get up at the crack o' dawn today to go to CRW with Goofy.

Oh, and Lambert's has a drink on their cocktail menu called the "Sanchez"....it's vodka, olive juice and caperberries with crushed ice, garnished with pickled jalapeno.

A dirty martini. Called a Sanchez. that's...well, the bartender is playing a nice joke on the upscale clientele, is all I can think of.

A lady at a table near us got this, and it looked cool. The rim was salted and there was a lime on the glass so I thought maybe it was a margarita with jalapeno garnish. I could have liked that. but vodka and olive juice is naaaaaasty.
