Two hobby things and one SXSW thing occurred to me today:
1. You're not a real South Austin Gentleman of the Old School until you can pluck a suddenly bloomed nose hair with the pliers on a Leatherman tool after your last-minute mirror check in the provider's parking lot -- without flinching.
2. Those MV7 pills aren't worth the cardboard they come in, to me. I've tested them three times now myself, and asked a provider to ask another guy to test once. I had some mild-moderate face flushing every time, and a bit of a headache once. The unknown guy reported back that he felt a bit buzzy like extra caffeine. That's it. YM is gonna V.
and Observation 2a: don't order a bunch until AFTER thorough testing, no matter how sweet the online price.
3.There is at least one surf-rock band from every country in the world, regardless of how far from the ocean they are. They're all really good, too.
