Welcome, RevAnne! Will we get in trouble if we just call you "Anne"?

**nurseronda** · April 22nd, 2008, 05:26 PM

**Athena** · April 22nd, 2008, 05:34 PM

Okay, okay...So, tell me, Rev - Is Austin's motto really "Keep Austin Weird"? If so, I may just have to visit that place, one day!

Welcome, darlin'. Hope you enjoy your stay. :)

thank you! and yes- austin is completely weird. there really IS a guy who rides around town on his bike in only a thong who ran for mayor. :D its *almost* too weird for my tastes, which is saying a lot. but its a beautiful city.

Better than wearing a miniskirt with your butt cheeks hanging out and having a jacket with marijuana leaf appliques....

i played flute and piccolo, i was in marching, concert, jazz, and drum line.

I stopped when i got in to college, when all they had was a pep band an it was only for brass...:(

lol and i had all of them
"band boosters are better than athletic supporters"
“for football field is for field shows!”
“would you like to see my paradiddle”

**RevAnne** · April 22nd, 2008, 05:52 PM

LOL paradiddle always cracks me up. :D i think i have band envy.. i always wanted to play french horn.

**ImmortalOne** · April 22nd, 2008, 06:13 PM

Welcome! My daughter is a musician. It took me forever to figure out there was actually an instrument called the Baritone (just plain Baritone).

**impqueen** · April 22nd, 2008, 06:13 PM

Welcome to the site, RevAnne! I love Austin.. my dad went to law school there, so we lived there for awhile when i was little. Later, it became my music town of choice. And this one time, there was an incident with my panties and the Capitol flagpole.... but anyway. Nice to have you here! :D

**RevAnne** · April 22nd, 2008, 06:23 PM

thanks for the warm welcomes, everyone! :) impqueen... you must spill on this panties/flagpole story!

Welcome Anne. Glad you decided to sign up and post instead of just reading. :)

Welcome, RevAnne. Glad you decided to make the plunge and switch from lurking. It's sort of like going to a nude beach for the first time. Once you get your clothes off, it's not too bad...especially when you realize that there are others around you in much, much worse shape.

Well, you can stop now. You didn't notice a while ago when you sneezed, you brought them to your face. We were all looking.

Hi, RevAnne I am also a newbie and citizen of the Music Capitol of the South....love this city. Mom of 2 beautiful boys 4yrs and 8months. Married and try to stay happy. Love being a stayhome mama after working the TV biz for 10yrs. This site, well, I wouldn't say it is a pleasure to read but very addictive. I must say it opened my eyes and took some of my innocence away in terms of the evil that lurks amongst us. Members to this site seem nice enough and a little rough around the eges...my kind of folks. Good to meet you all. This is silvahalo68:)
