First, this is romance.

Second,
The entire city of Richardson, TX is infested with ants. If you're in the area take note. Just drive down Campbell. There are a crazy number of ant hills covering the medians. Some appear to be up to 12 inches tall. I only noticed because a little while back some ants moved into our house. Not in the normal way, like 'oh bummer man, we've got ants'. But rather, they imported sand into one of the rooms in the house and actually built an ant hill inside. I had to sweep up a whole ant hill and throw it out the back window. Richardson, please take care of this. Or perhaps we should move into a house that is more like a house and less like a tent.

Third,
I saw RTB2 at the Amsterdam Bar on Exposition in Dallas on Saturday. Luna Matto opened for them. Jenna and I went purely out of lack of something else to do. It ended up being a very nice spontaneous evening.
First we ran into this.
Or rather this.

We each picked up a tag from her tag sale. I kept it simple:



The Wit Gallery was quite nice. This is second time I accidentally stumbled upon it. The first was actually the night of its opening, which did not disappoint either. The man I assume to be Jay is very welcoming and willing to talk with people.

Then we went across the street to the Amsterdam Bar. The Bartenders are very willing to make suggestions which I like because I like to try new things/don't really care to choose if I don't have to.

Luna Matto was a very entertaining show. Her voice is so sweet. The recordings are not as loud as the show was. But both avenues to listening to this band are worth the time.

Then was RTB2. They delivered. We ended up scraping together the 5 singles we had between us to buy the EP. RTB2 consists of Ryan and Grady. Two seemingly sweet-hearted boys from Denton TX. If you hear of them playing, I'd recommend making the trip.
