My first Texas show of the New Year will be undercover - as in, under cover of a couple of hundred feet of limestone. It's time for another unplugged Longhorn Cavern show. Judging by the forecast, it may be warmer underground than it is above - but best to bring a jacket, because even a balmy 68 degrees seems to turn into a damp chill after an hour of sitting still.
Sunday evening, I'll co-host the return of the Peace Open Mike, just in time for Inauguration Day, and as always, boy, do we need it now!
By the way, if any of you are looking to unload an old refrigerator cheap, I'm in the market this week. In the meantime, if I can live out of an ice chest for 18 days every June, I can survive a few days in January.

PEACE OPEN MIKE
Ventana del Soul, 1834 E. Oltorf, on the north side of Oltorf & Burleson.
Are you a peace worker who needs relief from the blue-state blues? Once a month, the Austin Peace Open Mic welcomes musicians, poets, activists and listeners to share a peace of their art. Every third Sunday, from 6 to 9 p.m., we gather at the Ventana del Soul coffeehouse. We’re unplugged, but we help recharge your batteries for the four long years ahead. Join hosts Lisa Rogers, Tom Darilek and Steve Brooks as we give peace our chants.
