Just when I thought Saturday was over, I get a text message from Orlando, a great bud that lives downtown San Antonio, so I decided to join them at this posh birthday party in a posh hotel. So posh, I felt just a tad bit insecure rollin up in there with my crusty old navy [...]
Hey Folks, got to catch a bada$$ gig last night at Fat Cat’s in Houston. The venue was on Washington street, a pretty dodgy party of town. Talking to a local, he said there is like 3-4 places in all of Houston to catch good music. No offense to you Houstonites, but a city as [...]
Saturday went to my nephew Grant’s baseball game. Man that little dude can hit I tell you. It wasn’t since the days of playing on The Mints, The Nailers, and then for the dreaded Shiner Comanches was I thinking “Big Whiffer” and other baseball jargon. Grant is 6, and his baseball swing is already pretty [...]
Friday was a night of excitement as we ventured to a pub for some Billards and Boddington’s. I had the best pub food I’ve ever had in my life! The music in the pub actually recycled in the pub, that was craziness, totally meant it was time to go! Down near Westheimer (sp?) and the [...]

Don’t know if y’all know, but Austin has the largest Urban Population of bats in the world. About 4 million of those little suckers live in the South Congress Bridge. At dusk, all these people come out and watch the bats come out to dine of all the pesky little insects of ATX. I suppose [...]
Went and saw a killer documentary on the Flaming Lips last night. I never knew anyone could have that much fun in Oklahoma. Wayne, the lead singer in my opinion is an amazing / balanced person for having such a bizarre mind. High Points Include: Numerous shots around Austin including Stubbs, the parking lot gig, [...]
