Busy bodies
So it appears everything will be kicking into high gear this week and won't slow down until mid-August, which is the way I like it. So I perhaps had one of the most fantastic weekends of my young life:
Thursday: My Cheap Date assignment. The gf and I went to Blue Goose (you must try their brisket tacos) and headed to Blockbuster and got Scoop, A Prairie Home Companion, United 93, and The Black Dahlia, but only got to watch APHC (which I liked, but it's definitely not for everyone. I was surprised how much I liked it because, like most people, I'm not the world's biggest NPR fan).
Friday: My best friend Daniel's 19th birthday. We went bowling (and my record of never passing 100 remains unbroken) and went to Texas Roadhouse. Everyone finished eating rather quickly, so we sat and talked for the next hour. It was great.
Saturday: OK, so nothing really happened today, but nothing bad happened either.
Sunday: Got to visit my old friends Tricia, Louis, and the gang and went to Chili's with Calvin, Bobby, and Trey (who's about the funniest guy you'll ever meet). I also finally got to expose my dad to the greatness of Mission: Impossible III and then went to the Larnelle Harris (Think Al Green in his gospel years) concert at my home church.
And now, I've got a Cheap Date write-up to do, and start contributing to The Screening Room (if I can find it). I may even find time to finish Mere Christianity during lunch. Good times, indeed. Hooray for Wednesday. Happy birthday, America!

Go-to-Guy,
Blue Goose... isn't that a biker gang hang out? And two, the best brisket tacos in the world are from Mia's on Lemmon Ave.

There were no bikers Thursday night, but it could be. I doubt it's really a biker hangout, as Lower Greenville's more of a "hipster" area. And I will have to try Mia's sometime. Lord knows I love my brisket tacos (whenever my dad makes his famous brisket, I always have tacos for leftovers while everyone else is making BBQ sandwiches. Mmm-mmm).

Bikers do hang at Blue Goose on some Sunday's. But you can always tell because the side parking is blocked for bikes. No problem unless you are on the patio and the bikes start up--but hey....they start up and leave.
