Last night saw a trip across nighttime Austin to go to The Broken Spoke,
http://www.brokenspokeaustintx.com/
a dancehall which last night played host to Dale Watson who gave us some real smooth Western Swing music... People who were there were there to dance, apart from the Limey, it was like being in a little Texas town on a Saturday night.
A barmaid (I think maybe the owner too), who supported an inprobable and immobile hairdo, got my bottle of Lone Star beer and then told me that a friend had asked her the previous night if they could "snag a fag" and told her that it was an English expression... She was amused, and not a little incredulous, when I told her that the real expression is to "bum a fag".

thanks for your text - I always wondered what collard greens were like ... is it like spring greens? Glad you've made it to Austin ... is it two weeks to Vegas?? xx
