    Weather and terrain?

    You two need to tag along on the next New Bransfels trip to Gruene Hall.....we'll throw Andy in the river in a tube, to keep him cool! LOL!

    I was going up on the 7/20th but looks more like first weekend in August now........

    Good show at Blanco's this Friday night Jordan, James Hand is 'Old School' country, man, it'll be a total immersion experience on the dance floor.....I may have a dance partner, or I'll be crying in my beer at the pool table, until one shows up! LOL!

    Red Bull Art of the Can at Galleria, last Tuesday SugarHill Recording studios had a nice bash..Red Bull and Grey Goose Citrus vodka is a lethal combination after awhile, I found......Under the Volcano Club on Bissonett had Mike Stinson in from California with Jesse Dayton backing him up at an acoustic gig last night.......

    Next thing I know of is a good show at the Continental Club on S. Main Friday, the Hacienda Brothers in town, mourning the loss of Chris Gaffney but carrying on with a CD release tour, and Miss Leslie will open the show and have her new highly acclaimed CD for sale also.....

    Saturday morning at 9AM - 2PM you can get your car washed at Chances at 1102 Westheimer by the Roller Derby girls.....mmmmmmm...soapy roller derby girls!!!

    I'll know more once I read the whole Press....Joe Ely tickets at Gruene Hall go on sale at 1PM today......Road Trip!!!!!

    Good article on the Hacienda Brothers in the Houston Press.......excellent comments on Chris Gaffney..(Rest in Peace).
    I'm gonna miss that guy, he was one of a kind.....gruff as Hell but he'd loan Valeria the last smoke in his pack...(then I'd feel bad and run to the store for both of them....LOLOLOL!)


    Looks to be a great show this evening, maybe my favorite dance partner will be in the crowd....;)

    Well, sorry about that absence. My fiance and I have actually been a little busy. She has had a whole bunch of orchestra work the past few months and I've been busy with flying and my work, as well. I think its about time for me to get a new job, however, so if anybody happens to have any leads, let me know.

    Anyway, we were just talking the other day about how much we missed the fun we had with the Ferrari group in SoCal and that reminded me to keep in touch here. Now that the weather is getting nice here, we would love to go for a drive some day! Not sure if there are any good roads out here...haven't found many, myself.

    BTW, I just read that Circle S Vineyards is the best vineyard in Houston in the Parade section...Congratulations dstacy! Definitely have to visit you guys in the next few weeks!

    Pecan Grove? My parents live in Pecan Grove, near Pecan Grove Elementary. I walked there to school every day when I was younger. Naturally, I got out of Houston ASAP, but I still visit there frequently, and my dad, though not a hardcore enthusiast, enjoys cars as well.

    In fact, I should be there for Thanksgiving and the weekend after--anyone know if there are any events planned in the area for that weekend?

    Pecan Grove? I grew up in there. I remember it before houses were being built and it was just a few stakes in a mass of trees. My dad said to me, "this is our house, and here's the living room". There wasn't even a street around for a few hundred yards. Enjoyed it there, remember it all too well. Many things have changed too - tons of development, when before there was only a place a mile down 359 called The Parket Market, and further down the other way, near the Swingin' Door, the General Store, where you could rent VHS and Beta tapes.

    But Kim Carson at the West Alabama Icehouse 6PM, Friday, the James Hand at Blanco's at 9PM, old school country brudda!

    So I'll be back in town, at those gigs.....

    Valeria tried to hassle me at Big Easy last Saturday, the manager, an old friend told her and her posse to "STFU"....LOLOLOLOL!

    Hah, thats funny we have a few other pecan grove people here. Things have definitely changed now...its huge! I'm still betting there are a couple of ferraris hidden in the neighborhood somewhere...haven't really seen any though. The drummer from ZZ Top lives here though, and I'm pretty sure he has a couple.
