I promise I will implore my dear readers to do things for me on very rare occasions.  This is one of those occasions.  My friend Tyler’s band Union Specific is in a contest to play at the Austin City Limits Music Festival.  His band is good an represents a good direction for Texas music.  He’s a smart guy and he will continue to make good music with his band.  So please, go to the link, sign up, and vote for Union Specific for the Dell Lounge “Sound and the Jury” competition.  Deadline is today!
