Bocktoberfest '07
« on: September 17, 2007, 06:08:17 pm »
All this talk about ACL and beer got me thinking of who is going to Bocktoberfest in Shiner this year.  The lineup includes:

Godsmack
Diamond Rio
Blue October
Pat Green
Old 97s
Restless Heart

October 14th.  I haven't been in a few years.  Anyone planning on going this year?
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Oh come on, he's not that bad.  Besides, his hour-long set is the pefect time to go to the bathroom.

I guess having to put up with the satanic smell of a porta-potty and all thats inside is the lesser of the two evils

Maybe we can combine music, beer and the mooted OWA get-together.  I suggest we hold it in pravata's Mum's basement, and we get a keg and a stereo and TZers get to play 3 tracks each.  Jim R. can teach pitching techniques and your Grandmother can organise hitting and baserunning drills.

Matt's Grandmother might be busy with other activities.

I could use a new watch.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

I have never been to a concert at Sam Houston Race Park, but this one is calling my name. Cross Canadian Ragweed, Randy Rogers Band, and Reckless Kelly are all excellent bands.

You know, I know for a fact that Grandma can kick *your* ass, and Zipper would have a rough go of it.  Don't be lettin' your mouth write checks your ass can't cash, as she herself would say.  She also used to say "you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heel".  So apply that one as necessary too.

Of course, one would hope that Waldo is clever enough not to piss in his boot in the first place.

Expect Ziegfest to get cancelled too.  Ziegenbock only exists to compete with Shiner and is marketed to unsuspecting Texans who think they are getting a good brew from another independent Texas brewery when actually it's yet more piss from a megabrewer.

I hate Budweiser...the company and all of its products.

RK is awesome.  So is Mickey and the  Motorcars.  Surprised they aren't at this one too.

Does pravata have an 8-track player?
