Friday night, Melisa and I venture down to Norman to catch Texas Jack. We were about the only two people there til about 11. The crowd picked up after that and low and behold, it ended up being an all out 80's jam fest for like an hour. It was a killer show. I know they are supposed to be a country band as Mark stated over the mic, but not that night. It was Bon Jovi, Guns 'n' Roses and The Outfield Friday night. Weekend after next, they'll be opening for Jack Ingram in OKC on Friday and kickin' off the Calf Fry in Stillwater that Saturday. We'll be in attendance for both those festivities. Saturday started off with us cleaning the house before mom, grandpa, and my uncle showed up for lunch. Hung with the fam for a bit and Matt showed up at our house to head for round 2 of the weekend's beer consumption. Got to Bricktown, went to the Dog for a quick pitcher and meet up with Melisa, Red, Carrie, Shona, Ashly, and Dani, headed to the Varsity for a bite and more beer. Got back to the Dog only to find they blew a line in the tap system or something so no draft beer. I think they got it fixed later, but the bottles were suiting me just fine. Eli and Young kicked off the show and by 10:30 the show was sold out... party. The boys take stage later and the floor was packed. The Stragglers very first fiddle player, Jason Breed, was in attendance. We haven't seen him probably since the last time he played with them so many years ago. This guy used to climb all over the stage and up on speakers to play and get the crowd riled up. Now he's pre-med, married, and has a kid on the way..... rock n roll man. Not a bad back up plan. Goodtime throughout the weekend. One of the best I've had in a while. And as for the guy who thought I was some kind of owner of the bar and was bitching about 1. the wait in line outside 2. the crappy wine that was served and 3. said that he got "stiffed" out of some money.... All I can say is 1. Get there earlier 2. Look at what bar you're in and 3. You are full of shit all the way around brother. Tough shit.



Since its been almost a month since I've posted pics, I put a couple of new albums up. From the Red Dirt Rangers on March 20 and The Stragglers this weekend... rock on people.
