good fucking riddance to those guitars. 35!?!?!?!?!? Austin is big enough for about 5 of them downtown to not seem completely lame. You couldn't walk 2 blocks without seeing one.
Wow, Austinist ... way to be on the ball. The Statesman ... and everyone else for that matter ... reported on the Amy Winehouse situation 4 days ago!!!
