New Years Eve 2005 landed in Shiner, Texas, with a bunch of singles. One could look at this year as a disappointment in comparison to the excursions of previous years. Shiner doesn’t compete with London or NYC, or even the crowds of ATX, on paper. How do you compare London to Shiner, and is it [...]
Curse the rain that turns the dust to mud! Let’s see, how do I give these boys a proper writeup. First I suppose I can share an idea or two that came for the chick beside me who I conversed with later in the night. Rhett is a ‘sexy dork’, full of charisma, he seems [...]
It sounds like you can be a thinker, ‘playa’, sentimental and sincere yet devious at the same time. The dynamic personalities of the Old 97′s absolutely intrigue me, to the point where I’ve spun their catalog to the brink of complete memorization and saturation. Why the post, they play tomorrow at La Zona Rosa, a [...]
I find myself at Odds on how to celebrate the coming of the New Year. For pictures sake, the last few years have been spent on London and NYC respectively. Last year the blokes from England provided the entertainment in the form of a ‘school theme party.’ Take a gander at Tiz in the middle, [...]
Just what is the Beastmaster thinking in his jammies, ‘Hangin’ with the snowman as he says. I bet the beast is thinking the same thing I am, why in the h-e-double-hockey-sticks do we have to work in this lull week between Christmas and New years Eve. It’s fun co-authoring this blog posts with the beast, [...]
Hmmm, All the photo opportunities were exhausted last week, so just imagine all kinds of kids running around, making a lot of noise, and fighting with light sabers. New addition to the family is my 17th niece, Alissa, from Krysi and Alex, big time congrats! Glad you are back from Iraq Al, look forward to [...]
I guess you could compare me to Lieutenant Dan on the shrimp boat around Christmas time, as the existentialist debate rages on in my head. Perhaps not a read for the weak at heart, and family, you may want to turn around at this point, or skip ahead to the Bernie MTV Cribs post. Preface, [...]
It’s been a tradition for at least the past 5 years to congregate at Bernie’s house for Christmas Eve, @ 1:30 A.M. to enjoy fine spirits, cheese and crackers, and of course John’s chili concoction. The Beastmaster did the ‘introduction’ the house, as we tried in vain to get Bernie to say ‘Welcome to my [...]
A trip to Uncle Benny’s crib in San Antonio for the night before Christmas found us landed at a church in to boondocks. O how the guitar player was jamming ‘Go Tell it on the Mountain,’ and O how did my niece have the perfume caked on. Running into remote members of the family is [...]
Stumbled on an old Christmas compilation produced by 101x, back in the day the radio station was cool, now it just plays generic rock to the ‘cool’ kids. Gibby of the Butthole Surfers used to be a DJ, along with other brilliant personalities. I once called in to Gibby’s show and asked him to play [...]
