Okkervil River

Thanks to Jen, who came through in the clutch to baby sit while all the grandparents were out of town, Elaine and I went to our first concert together since before Owen was born. One of our favorite Austin bands, Okkervil River, played a mere three blocks from our house at the Rock & Roll Hotel. It was a great show, sold out and packed with enthusiastic fans singing along with all the songs. It almost felt like we were back in Austin, rocking out at Club de Ville, Red Eyed Fly, or the Hole in the Wall.
