Butch Walker: Prayers Answered

Just being dramatic--pretty sure Butch doesn't believe in prayers (read his book) and we really don't want to get into Bibi's track record with successful prayers--but wanted to make the point:  BUTCH FUCKING WALKER IS COMING TO TEXAS!!!!  And not just SXSW (March 14-15).  He'll be in Dallas on March 11.  What a Spring Break for Bibi!!!  Here's what Butch tweeted earlier today:

alright alright alright… i’ve had it. i can’t sit still and i need to play a few shows to wet my lips for summer touring. so how’s about we all saddle up and go play Austin, Tx for the SXSW Music Fest? i think what we will do is play a few shows on the way out there to warm up for y’all… here’s what i was thinking:


3/8/13 - Nashville, TN @ High Watt (Tickets - on sale 2/1 10am CST)

3/9/13 - Little Rock, AR @ Rev Room (Tickets - on sale 2/1)

3/11/13 - Dallas, TX @ The Kessler Theatre (Tickets - on sale 2/1)

THEN, we will be doing the following shows at SXSW in Austin:

3/14/13 - Austin TX @ Central Presbyterian (SXSW)

3/15/13 - Austin, TX @ Vice Bar (SXSW)

then it’s back to the studio to put the finishing touches up on a new record for y’all. what do ya say? wanna come have some fun with us?
I love you.
-Butch

Such wonderful news--tough to think, talk coherently after I read this!  Don't think anyone at work noticed my difficulties, though.  That's the kind of place it is sometimes.  Oooohoooo--what can I say, I come from race cars and pop rocks  Not to be too stream of consciousness about it, really WHAT CAN I SAY??  Just never thought Butch would be somewhere so close to Bibi, geographically, unless Bibi first traveled to some faraway place.  Thank you SO much, Butch!  His timing of coming to Texas reminds Bibi of ...playing Spring Break parties in the red neck sand.  And who couldn't love his closing "I love you.  -Butch"  How this guy doesn't have the music-listening world eating out of his hand, er, buying his albums, cds, mp3s, book, etc., I do not know.

Already emailed The Kessler in Dallas, asking about ticket prices.  Hope to get room reservations done by tonight.

Unfuckingbelievable!!! 

Love YOU, Butch!

Butch Walker and Fan Loyalty

The holidays give Bibi time to reflect about important life matters. 

From last year, Bibi thinking profoundly again.

My relatively recent introduction to Butch Walker and consequent fabulously hard fall for his music almost instantly became a source of wonder for friends and acquaintances.  (Guess I was a bit intense about it. Not like now--lol.)  I've gone out of my way to give reasons why--think I've done a more than adequate job with that.  However, just the other day, I thought:  whoa, feel kind of casual about Butch Walker right now; like the initial rush I experienced in listening to his music, reading his book, watching videos of his live performances, et al, has leveled off.  Felt relaxed, almost indifferent to checking out his recent tweets.  hmmm, not a bad feeling, everything was just okay.  Even thought about changing the Butch Walker cd in the car to, I don't know, something else.  I had been thinking about Tom Petty cds, ie, don't have any, so maybe would go buy some.  Got in the car and Hot Girls in Good Moods came on....BAM!!!  That raw, growly guitar intro, party adrenalin charged, and WO-HO that breathy, slithery, too-cool-for-you voice: 

I got a girl that lives at the mall / She dances on the dark side of the disco ball / Drives a silver Mercedes / Made in the 80s / Swears and stares at the buckhead ladies....

As if I'd just heard the song for the first time (suddenly stinks of Foreigner here, I know), there was this overwhelming wave of OMG and, please, more. . .  more. . .  more. . . BUTCH WALKER!

And that's how I got past that feeling of being over Butch and then completely swooned back into being so enthralled by him in about 10 minutes one day.  That's really intense. 

Hey, Butch:  give me everything you got....please!
