no new shoes for this cowboy for a while, but if I were buying another pair of shoes, I'd be aiming for these right here. a nice suede Sperry shoe... oh man, lovin this gray pair, or maybe a brown suede pair? hmmmm me likey
anyway, man i am SO BEAT tonight , just got back from class and was teaching it like a zombie. after standing around in the sun and dancing to some music and hearing about 6 or more different live outdoor concerts last night, and then up late, up early, drive back today.. etc... man I'm gonna sleep so well in my own bed tonight.
The festival yesterday in AUstin was a blast. we walked down there from where my bud H lives and watched a few shows, ate some food, drank some water, met up with 2 other gay guys he knows in AUstin.... we got split up when I left one show to go get a spot for Fleet Foxes, the band I most wanted to see live... oh they were so good!! I moved around and sang to every song... alas, cell phone signals were awful with so many in the crowd, and then as I kept messaging the 3 other guys in my group ( H, his current ex bf J, and then another ex in from Dallas HB) well all their cell phones were DEAD so we never found each other after that, it got so so so crowded and packed after the fleet show 'cause everyone was cramming in for ARcade Fire up an hour later! ha .. so I laid around a bit waiting and then listend to arcade fire. and later I left around 9pm, and just walked back up to Lamar with this huge crowd of happy people. what a great day! everyone so nice! I stopped for some Yum Yum yogurt ( Highly recommend it on Riverside and Kinney st. I got the Caramel flavor with chocolate sprinkles and grahm cracker crumbs!!). got a call from H. he was already home, I brought him some mango yogurt (gross) and then we waited for J to show up and then HB. J brought a Media movie over and put it on, while H and J slept in the hide a bed and HB and I in the bed in the one room studio condo, little slumber party. was up way too late watching that stupid movie! finally fell asleep only to wake up early this morning and out of town at 8 AM! that's right drove back to okc by 2pm. whoa! graded some papers and unloaded my pickup and then off to teach a class. I'm hoping to catch up on some sleep tonight back to normal tomorrow morning! man I can't wait to go to another ACL music festival. but ONLY if I get the 3 day wristband next time. thing is you can't come and go with the one day ticket, only wristbands! ha I'm also bringing a tall pole with some interesting flag next year so we can always find each other. :)
If I can just make it two more weeks. I got college homecoming up next, and then two more weeks FALL BREAK BABY! hope everyone had a nice weekend -- I am now AUS to OKC to BED!

I can so see you with those shoes... lol
Wow, those are great shoes. And wow, they remind me of my first real true love.
He always wore topsiders, no socks, and had the most beautiful legs.
Thanks for the post, and for the memories :)
of all the shoes you've showcased, this is the first pair of shoes i actually own, only mine are grey suede with leather trim. i'd be embarrassed to admit how many pairs i own. The Pre-Read's bf had the right idea...no sox ever even in winter. many times imitated, nothing beats the original topsider.
cheers!
p.s. so glad you had so much fun. hope you get caught up w/ ur sleep.
