Emo's

So I decided to attend a "punk rock" show at the local "punk rock" establishment here in town. Our pals The Ritchie Whites were playing, as well as some other rockin' Austin, TX bands, The Ends and The Pink Swords.

So I'm hanging out there, "punk rock"-ing in the front row and who do I spot but none other than Johnny Motard, also "punk rock"ing out, but in a suprisingly downplayed fashion.

He looked exactly the same - a three day growth of stubble sprouted from his cheeks and the black framed glasses were still there.

We stopped and chatted for a while after the show. I asked him what was going on and he said that he was just hanging out. Believe it or not, there is now the pitter-patter of little Motard feet running around his house. John had a baby with his wife, one of the chicks in Austin's hippest all girl "punk rock" band, The Applications.

I don't think that John lives with his wife or anything. I'm not really sure and I certainly don't want to spread any rumors because that would be really impolite. But he mentioned something about living with a chick roommate and she sets his computer up for him to get on the Internet. But he never gets on it. That's kinda impolite that she goes to the trouble of setting it up for him and then he never "Internets", but I'm not going to call that impoite as I think Johnny Motard might be cyberically challenged.

I gave him my business card for work and told him to email me at work but not to write anything dirty because all my email is open records and property of the state. I could have just told him the website, but I didn't want to confuse him. I figured if he had something on a piece of paper, he would be more apt to email and, thus, more polite.

El flojo

POLITENESS RATING =

7 9 (if he emails me)
