  1. One of my favorite tshirts procured from perini’s shop in buffalo gap. Their burgers are quite good. We used to stop there regularly on our way to lubbock when the kid was going to school there.
  2. I have thrown the tennis ball so much for these two that I’ve developed a shoulder injury. 20-50 throws a day for a few years = physical therapy appointment. But they live for it. So, I keep doing it.
  3. I learned from the hawaii revealed series that polynesians would each year follow bird migration to the point where the birds were no longer visible. They would then return to their island, the following year, they would row to the point where they lost sight of the birds, wait for the birds to arrive again, qnd follow them again until they lost sight of them. They would continue this for years and years and years. Simply astounding.
  4. I haven’t heard of Mike’s. There’s one on forest that I pass by when I head down to deep ellum on concert nights. This gives me a good reason to drop in and try them out.
  5. I make jalapeno fried chicken a few times every year. My MIL says it’s the best fried chicken she’s ever had. Chicken thighs brined in vinegar, jalapenos, garlic cloves, cilantro, salt and pepper overnight. Breading is flour, cayenne, paprika, dried oregano and granulated garlic. Recipe comes from homesick texan - family cookbook. My wife now refuses to eat fried chicken from anywhere else.
  6. One is a great choice. Interestingly enough, I remember the La’s being interviewed when “There she goes” was released, and they hated the recording because they felt it didn’t capture the energy of their live performance. For universal like-ability, a message of positivity and hope resonates with everyone. Iz’s voice and the simplicity of “somewhere over the rainbow” delivers.
  7. It’s ready. C’mon over.
  8. Earl is living life right. As I read this, my playlist served up It’s Friday; it’s reggae
  9. Wife’s been in denmark selling enterprise software all week. I need those commission checks to procure concert tickets. She digs my orange chicken.
  10. Not sure if it’s a good recording but it’ll do for me tonight while I’m making orange chicken and drinking.
  11. Garbage and Starcrawler last night was on point. If anyone’s interested, they have a show at ACL Live tonight. Starcrawler were decked out in their signature hot pink and black. Wrapped up their set with “bet my brains”. Guitarist always closes the song by walking through the audience. Great and short performance. They always get the crowd juiced up. Shirley had a lot to say. Some kind words about her father, some CR, some thoughts on the music industry, and an audience participation happy birthday sing along to their tour manager complete with the non-standard hip hip hooray at the end. Very personable and made a connection with the audience. Wearing that kilt, she had everyone’s attention.
  12. I got starcrawler opening for garbage tomorrow in deep ellum. Starcrawler is always entertaining. I’ve seen them twice. They won me over first time I saw them at stubbs. Female lead singer yells at us olds, “you’re gonna want to turn your hearing aids up for this one”, threw a water bottle into the crowd, and launched into “bet my brains”. Punk as fuck.
  13. I’ve been so drunk that people would stop and take a double take at me and my girl while we were stumbling down bourbon street. I have never thought - hmmm… I’m gonna go karen that delivery truck driver down this alley because reasons.
  14. The guy was working. Pretty much every place of business says firearms are not allowed on the premises. Pepper spray seems like a good first option, and if that isn’t effective, a knife is the second option. He may very well have encountered situations in his working career that deemed a knife necessary. Hell, he may have carried a box knife for work purposes. I haven’t seen any details on the type of knife.
  15. So when do we get to see the phone video?
  16. Deleting comment - will review the COTA thread
  17. Running wind sprints in an alley and a grease disposal truck operator blocks the alley? Was there a speedometer nearby and the truck was preventing butt fumble from achieving usainbolt velocity powered by tequila?
  18. I saw Wolf Alice last night. Odd show. They put on a great performance but the music is all over the place. Some very pop tunes, some near punk, one made me think of the band Winger, and one group sing along. Odd cast of band members from the sing along. From the left. lead guitarist pulled straight from the cure’s just like heaven video keyboard player was on his way to a sports bar to watch a football game lead singer. She’s got a helluva voice and looked the part drummer looks like a fan of Motorhead bassist is a high energy performer pulled from the 80’s band The Hooters
  19. Never heard of these guys. I like their sound. The clip gave me an early 90’s manchester vibe. First band that came to mind was Ride.
  20. Oct lineup Wolf Alice at HOB in dallas Garbage and Starcrawler at bomb factory Fri, sat, sun weekend that may kill me: Fri -The Stews at echo lounge in dallas, Sat - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at mohawk in austin, Sun - F1 race + Turnpike Troubadours are playing at F1 after the race I’d like to catch The Cult but they’re playing in Ft Worth the monday after F1 so that’s not gonna happen. Lord Huron and Kevin Morby in irving
  21. I’ve seen them twice. Once at kessler and once at longhorn saloon. The kessler is such an intimate venue that it appears some bands tone it down there. The longhorn saloon show earlier this year was really good. They’re playing the saloon again in nov with jamestown revival. I’m in for that show.
  22. I’m seeing them in Irving on sat night. Pretty stoked about it. Let me know how it goes. I also have Softcult on fri night and Sun Room on sun night both in deep ellum.
  23. The weather is perfect for an outdoor show
  24. My wife is there for business. Her rate is $800/night. Insane. She hates vegas.
