borracho

heh. i just wish i would have had one of those - at least i would've had a great reason to feel that bad later!

as much as i'd love to see him thursday night, i'm gonna pass... too busy a week for me and the last time i had a busy week like this and kept going out, i got sick. so maybe next time...

my cousin was at the back of the line getting us Zeppelin tickets in '77 and missed out by a few people... mom and dad wouldn't let me go see Black Sabbath/Van Halen in '78... "too satanic" and again with Sabbath in '80... mom and dad wouldn't let me and my brother drive to Wichita Falls in '83 to see The Clash. at least they let us drive to Dallas a few months later to see Bowie... i chose seeing Heart over Dire Straits in '85... "great" choice... felt ill in '94 the night Nirvana was in town, so i didn't go... another "great" choice...

that's not an upset... whenever those 2 teams play, it doesn't matter the records/rankings... just a good old-fashioned brawl!

ooh, i forgot i had tickets to that too... Green Day and Busta Rhymes were also on the bill for the Dallas show i had tickets to...

i saw this tour 4-5 years ago and it still stands near the top of my list... what a great night of music...

Johnny Cash and the Carter Family in Bartlesville, OK - 1996(?) or 97... he got sick a few days before the show and cancelled and never rescheduled... i had 5th row, too...

bike-friendly - OKC no, Norman not great, but better... this is a very car-driven area - public trans. isn't that great - people around here just like to drive their cars! it's a very sprawling area - i think the OKC area is in the top 5 in the country as far as number of square miles... there's some festivals here and there... the OKC arts festival in April, and a few others scattered around in the spring/summer... i think Norman may have a few in the spring/summer - a jazz festival, a medieval fair... and i'm sure the university does some things too... the seasons here are wacky... 3 day

i live in Edmond, which is OKC's north suburb, but think Norman would be a great place to live... nice college town and like Saut said, borderline progressive for OK! very friendly people, living expenses are cheap, Norman has a nice club that gets some great acts (Blitzen Trapper is next week, they've had Hold Steady, Spoon, etc...), and a good record store, too... nice local restaurants and shops in the area... it's also got the chains, and big box stores, but it's not overwhelming... not sure about jobs, but OK as a whole has been doing fairly well as far as not losing as many jobs as the r

all this hit a little too close to home (literally!) today... tornado passed a mile or so away from my house, did some damage to the northwest/west OKC area... more funnels on the way! yuck...

ha! you all not in tornado alley don't know how true all this is

which these days is a rarity!

Tim Tebow.

i was there and it was a great way to bring in the new year!

hope you enjoyed your stay in OK!

sleeping and licking heads!

hope you have tix for the nov 23 Willie show at Cains because he cancelled the nov 24 show...

i wouldn't listen to Modest Mouse because i thought their name was pretty dumb. still do. but i donated to KEXP and they sent me a funny shirt that had a "modest" mouse cartoon on it and thought that i should give them a shot and at least listen to something... and now i can't get enough of their music...

How the West was Won was recorded in '72... a great live set from 2 concerts... and some interesting reading on how all the live stuff has been spliced together by Page: http://www.thegardentapes.co.uk/index.html

woo! that'll be a great weekend...

are you who i think you are?

i wish Watt would get back to doing his own thing and dump that old band he's currently touring with

Pearl Jam 98 - front row, 7th row Coldplay - 7th row Black Crowes - 2nd row, 4th row ZZ Top/Ted Nugent - 8th row Cheap Trick - 4th row Kid Rock - front row Aerosmith - 10th row man, looking at that list, that's a lot of classic rock...

setlist from last night in Wilkes-Barre: 01. Rock 'N Roll Train 02. Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be 03. Back In Black 04. Big Jack 05. Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap 06. Thunderstruck 07. Black Ice 08. The Jack 09. Hells Bells 10. War Machine 11. Anything Goes 12. You Shook Me All Night Long 13. TNT 14. Whole Lotta Rosie 15. Let There Be Rock Encore: 16. Highway To Hell 17. For Those About To Rock

their show in '78 was one of the sloppier concerts i've seen, though... i think the drugs (theirs, not mine) may have had something to do with it?
