Ahh SuperBowl





First off my apologies for this post being so late. It seems the powers that be at work think I should be working on credit card fee analysis rather than blogging.

Well the Super Bowl happened to be in Glendale, AZ this year for those who didn't know. Shaunna ended up getting tickets to several events over the weekend through Anheusher Busch. Here is a brief recap of the debauchery:

Friday Night: Snoop Dog Bud Bowl Party
1st and probably last time I will see him live
I no longer partake in the herb but would most definitely fail a UA from 2nd hand smoke
VIP area was definitely the way to go, wish I was single that night.


Saturday: Circle K Celebrity Flag Football Challenge
Extremely hungover, but continued drinking
Met Chad Johnson, complete douchebag
Doug Flutie and his brothers have a band, they suck
Billy Blanks is in better shape than I will ever be


Saturday Night: Kid Rock Bud Bowl Party
Definitely better than Snoop
High Fived Dan Majerle
Took on the persona of a pro golfer for the evening, FBR Open was in town
Signed a couple of autographs until my cover was blown

Overall it was a really good time, however I felt like I was 60 after it was all over. I have a lot of respect for my liver after that weekend.

Recording - Trip to Dallas

I had a pretty exciting weekend. First I decided that I'd have a couple friends over to lay some guitar tracks over at the place on Friday. Nothing fancy, just did it so I can burn everyone a cd copy to listen at our leisure. I've got to say...damn, it didn't sound that bad, especially considering they were my first tracks exported out of Cubase. No mics, straight out of my little Tech 10 amp, headphone output no less. Sure, adding additional tracks will get much trickier but it was fun and good to see some fruits come about now and then.

Saturday a bunch of my Fort Worth friends went out to Dallas to meet up with an old friend. Good times, good times. O-Bar, The Loon, Quarter Bar & Tribeca, all in one night, crazy. Will post a pic of HOP as soon as I can. He's radio-ing it in.

A thing I thought was lost...

Just entered my life again yesterday evening at my father's place. The item I speak of: my Andres Gallaraga baseaball card collection. I really thought I lost it years ago when my parents where still together in Ridglea Country Club Estates but back it came.

Seems pretty inconsequential, but it also makes me think about the people that enter and exit our lives both for a temporary time and others permanent. You know, everyone runs into people (both friendly and intimate) that they 'knew' in their past and it either rekindles a relationship or makes one or both parties glad they have little association with that person anymore. Of all scenarios, it makes me most happy to embrace people and things BACK into my life. Here's to you Big Cat!

50th Grammys

Alicia Keys shows up in an unflattering green gown, a gospel choir rips up 'their' version of The Beatles 'Let It Be', and Amy Winehouse gets New Artist of the Year, probably from a London re-hab. All signs of the apocolypse, needless to say I've turned this garbage off. Seriously, freaking garbage.

Bummer

Today I checked out the website of one of my favorite cover bands (Led Zeppelin), Swansong, and it turns out their future Fort Worth dates have been cancelled, notably, several dates at Sarah's Place off of Camp Bowie Blvd. One main reason I liked Sarah's Place was its closeness to mi casa, a few rocks throws away. I'm bummed as a result. Last time, our group got introduced to the lead singer during a show there. Rob is really a good entertainer and frontman (their 4th?), sucks that I might not be seeing their show for a couple months now. Perhaps something happened at Sarah's last time (besides the stripper-esque chicks dancing to the jukebox between their sets)???

Also, I missed Goodwin at The Moon Bar off of Berry in TCU land last night. Should've looked their schedule up before. Again, bummed. At least the weather's nice.
