Just to let you know…

I have not been on here in a while.  I have had my hands pretty full with the myspace page and all the Hobo going-ons.  I will try to update this a little more often but, I will make no promises.

Sunday was the Hobofites Session and live recording at House of Rock.  There was food, beer and great music.  It was more fun than I can describe to get up on a Sunday and go hang out at the House of Rock.  First of all, Hobo would like to congratulate Heidi for winning the raffle.  She bought a ton of tickets so, obviously already had plans for the one hour with Hobo.  We look forward to helping her celebrate her birthday  in style.  In an interesting development, she bartered away Garry’s soul to Casey at House of Rock.  So, now Casey has it.  What could this possibly mean for Garry?  We will have to wait and see.

April and May have been really busy for Hobo.  June is shaping up to be just as busy.  Along with some “regular” shows in June, Hobo, along with Ty Dietz, will also be opening up for South Austin Jug Band when they play at House of Rock.  SAJB is a really fun band to see perform.  So, make time for that.

I reckon that is all for now.  See you at a show soon.

Hobo Soup

This was just interesting….

Hobo Soup for the Junkyard Soul

“Unfortunately, bidding has ended on the eBay auction for this (full) can of vintage Hobo Soup, �…the brainchild of a small-town newspaperman from Ortonville, Minn., who in 1953 went into the local hobo camps in search of a feature story. As a result he was treated to old-fashioned homemade hobo soup and felt the world should share in this down-to-earth cuisine. Made with beans, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, celery, onions, and turnips, and flavored with bacon to give it a satisfying smoky taste, this thick and hearty vegetable soup is literally a meal in itself. Simply heat and eat.

Don’t feel bad that you missed out on a chance to bid for a can of 45-year old soup though, because as it turns out, they still make it!”
