bilco,
Sorry, I tried to make it to your Friday gig in Austin. Here's what happened:
Left Friday morning, 10AM, for Austin. Got about a mile away from the house and noticed no cold air coming out of the AC. Went to the shop that put in the new AC for a check up; they found a leaking fitting, replaced it, and refilled the Freon.
While they were checking the system with the engine running, they found a radiator seam leak. It needed a new radiator (located about 45 miles away). By the time we got out of there on our way to Austin, it was around 3:30.
Figured we'd make some time on the highway, but discovered the AC only worked at around 55 mph; above that, the cold air (and the blower) shut off.
We finally hit Austin around 9:30 PM, shot to shit.
And that's why we didn't get to your gig, but we intended to.
