For once South Park actually used real science
George Carlin made a joke about this years before the Colorado D-bags took notice. However, I beg to differ. I don’t care for this smell. If there were a way to eliminate the side effects, I’d get in line right … Continue reading
Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr
My final concert story (until later this week) because I will be caught up! Next up will be Brushes with Greatness…no, Movies which is easier. This show was a pretty cool experience. It was my first at the Scoot Inn on … Continue reading
Duran Duran (2014)
This year’s wedding anniversary present was floor tickets to see these guys at the Moody Theater on November 1st. They were the big concert to anchor the F1 race Austin was saddled with thanks to the outgoing shit bag we call Governor … Continue reading
Happy 80th Birthday Carl Sagan
Had he beaten cancer and carried on, it would’ve been his 80th. Sagan wasn’t always a genial figure since it was disputed about the lawsuits he may or may not have filed against Johnny Carson, Apple, etc. He’s probably also … Continue reading

Happy 12th Anniversary Kim and Rad!
I should’ve suspected why the weather was very nice in Austin today! It was their day and I’m hoping Phoenix followed suit. Their wedding is always pretty special to me. It was a reunion with some friends we had in … Continue reading
Two great time killers on the Web

New title could’ve been worse
The Force Awakens…well, it’s certainly better than Attack of the Clones which made little to no sense. For JJ Abrams, this title is sophisticated. What I’m puzzled about is what was the Force doing after Return of the Jedi? Did the Ewoks poison … Continue reading
Look out Sammy Hagar
As long as this driver isn’t a standard Austin douche who has to be ahead of me because I’m driving the speed limit and stay in their lane, I couldn’t care less. Oh, and isn’t on the phone since many here … Continue reading
OK Go (2014)
Another sold-out Austin show (last October, I’m almost caught up)! I don’t recall if they ever came back through over the last four years. Maybe, but I figured it was for SXSW which is really how they came to the … Continue reading
This is why we can’t have nice things in Texas
Even in Austin, there are knuckle-dragging Ammosexuals driving around harboring a Red Dawn fetish scenario because The Hunger Games is too complicated.
Justin Currie
Nice to see that KUT’s monopoly on the Cactus Cafe banning good touring acts isn’t absolute. I had to go to this show alone because I guess everyone thinks every song Del Amitri performs is sad or depressing. Please explain the … Continue reading
Pizza Chucks!
A winning combination of a favorite food with my favorite type of shoes! Should I not keep these sneakers in good shape, they’ll eventually turn into a pizza with mushrooms!

1994: At least I met Oliver Stone
On another dreary late evening in Austin, I was drinking, hanging out at the Dog & Duck Pub with my French friend/tutor Patricia. The statewide election returns were funneling in as George “Dubious” Bush (the future worst president in history) would … Continue reading

The Aquabats (2014)
The music/concert week continues with show number two! Shortly after I came back from Las Vegas and before ACL Crapfest, my favorite Band who are also superheroes graced Austin with a great show at the Mohawk. Much has changed since … Continue reading
