FUNNY ENOUGH, RULITOS WAS LIVING IN A SMALL HOTEL AT THIS TIME WITH HIS PARTNER AND THEIR THREE CATS -- A WINTER STORM CAUSED A PIPE IN THEIR HOUSE TO BURST, SO THEY WERE LIVING THERE AS THEIR HOME UNDERWENT REPAIRS.

SO RULITOS IMPROVISED A LIVE SET-UP AND PERFORMED FOR THE INTERNET ARCHIVE FROM A SECOND STORY HOTEL ROOM A LITTLE NORTH OF AUSTIN. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU CAN SEE HIS CAT XOCHITL ASLEEP NEAR THE WINDOWSILL.

THIS PERFORMANCE WAS PART OF THE INTERNET ARCHIVES MUSIC SERIES AT THE TIME, WHICH SPOTLIGHTED MUSICIANS FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
