Austin Tree Lighting & Holiday Stroll

We went to the Austin Tree Lighting & Holiday Stroll over at the Capitol this weekend.  I tried to wrangle some friends to come but only Conner and I ended up going.  I'm not sure how to account for the lack of Holiday spirit that our friends exhibited except to say that maybe the host, John Aielli, scared them away.  John Aielli is the host of  Eklektikos, a daily 3-hr affair on KUT, that people either hate or love to hate.  I used to not mind the show at all--in fact I enjoyed his musical selections--however, I listened to it again recently and was bewildered to find that he has become a total grumpy old man.  Now, maybe he's always been that way and I never noticed but that might have caused me to jump to the Aielli haters side of the fence.  You'll be humored to find that there's even a Twitter page called Shit John Aielli Says.
