Hailing from Austin, TX. The band with the largest setup was told to perform first. This was great for Spoon because they had a gig at Vilipiano's in an hour. It is right by the airport, you know? Chrisi Thompkins had a four-minute crush on Britt Daniels, but had an inherited fear of all things Texan from her mother. Miss Thompkins would fall in and out of love several time during the rest of the famed talent show. SHOW LESS
