Well, it looks like the storm didn't hit Houston like originally forecast. My friend that was staying at the office had been watching the storm via the news on his computer (yeah, internet), and decided to head home at 1 am, when I finally left the office for 95% of deadline is finished. I asked him to call me when he got home and he got back to Katy TX around 5 am. He said it was clear sailing all the way home, with little to no traffic.
I'm thankful that the storm damage wasn't like Katrina. I've been so consumed with the magazine deadline the past few days that I haven't done the usual monitoring of the Weather Channel.
This weekend Austin City Limits Festival is going on. I finally got a (one-day) press pass this year, so I should be able to see Eisley tomorrow, among other bands. I'll be missing Robert Randolph & The Family Band tonight, which is really missing something, cuz that band always brings it.
