I don't know who told all these young ladies that it was alright to wear stiletto heels with short shorts but if I could find 'em...
...I'd dang sure kiss 'em!
Greetings everyone from the Calgary Stampede just a little north of the border.
Tonight is the last show of the first North American leg of the summer Billy Idol tour.
I drop at the airport here tomorrow then head back to Nashville and then maybe home for a couple of days.
Everyone have a great weekend!!

The new theater manager (who is my boss) comes with great skills. She loves the theater,and performing arts is her thirst.She is working day and nite to fill the gaps for more shows. Stop by and meet Lenay. She is working on a web site for more information on future shows,people this is your theater come out and support it.
Tours are free and stroll through a venue that combines the deco period with the new state of art sound and lighting. I am the senior technician,with a great group of support staff we are waiting and standing by to serve the fines arts in our community.
How many seats are in the theater and are there any national acts booked there?

that depends on the kid.
Every generation had "cars that kids couldn't handle" Do you really think in the late 70's that a 16 year old could handle the used muscle car they bought - some could, some couldn't. It's funny, even in the early 90's "squaking" your tires was no more then a ticket - today we want to lock kids up in jail for it. I really don't think it was any safer back then, I'm not saying what the kid did was OK but lets come back down to reality a little bit.When I was 16-17 years old (1971-72) I worked in an auto parts store. One day a Marietta officer was there talking to the owner about how they used to drag race on Roswell road east of the Big Chicken. The cop was probably in his mid fifties at the time.
When I asked him how they were ever able to drag race on Roswell Road he said "There were only about a third of the cars on the road then as there are now".
Fast forward to today when I am approaching the mid-fifties
and the same holds true. There are way too many people and way to many cars for anyone to even think about acting stupid (which by the way, more and more people do).Not just teens but anyone who willingly endangers others lives should not only be arrested but held for the maximum 72 hours without bond. This is a serious problem given the times in which we live.
I blame most driving stupidity among teens and young adults on video games. It's amazing how you can drive city streets at 100+ mph, take out big trucks and cop cars, have a spectacular wreck, explode, die and be back in a new, unscathed car within 3 seconds.
Amazing ain't it?

Did anyone else go? We had a blast! I dont think I've ever seen so many drunk people in one place though!!
We went to the Lucky Leprechaun next door afterwards. Hubby & I are sitting there, and this guy literally "staggers" by our table, almost bumping into it, then sits at a table nearby with a few other guys. Then he's staring at me, I felt kinda creeped out and told my hubby.... turns out the guy was the lead guitarist for Hank, Jr. 
One of the other guys came over and talked to us for a few minutes, and told us they were all with Hank, Jr. I thought that was pretty cool, but funny! 
I wondered why they went to bed so early on the way to Biloxi.

Hmmm... Did you mean to say that blockbuster is trying to take over holly wood video since its their direct competitor, or are they actually trying to take over circuit city?
They are trying to take over CC but there are fears that they don't have enough capital.

The big dig on the right (if you are going towards New Hope). Does anyone know what it is?
We've heard Lowe's but the sign only says retail space coming soon.

Congrats on paying off the house. That's my dream and the only thing I owe.

OK. Not counting your kids and/or grandkids, what are the five most important or convenient things to come into your life in the last few years.
Mine are, and in no peticular order;
1. Mobile internet. I love watching weather fronts move in when I'm tooling down the road at 70 or so. (Don't worry, they automatically update). No distracted driving here.
2. Google / Microsoft Earth. Nothing like knowing the area before you ever see it.
3. Joel Osteen.
4. The curved shower curtain rod. For those of you who haven't seen them, They give you a ton more room in the shower.
5. The iPod.

Oh, we could not get chatt. channels here. That's why I don't remember.
I had a girlfriend in Cartersville and they could get the Chattanooga channels. We couldn't get them in Kennesaw.

who WAS IN Alabama?
Randy Owen, Jeff Cook, Teddy Gentry and Mark Herndon.
Here is an interesting bit of trivia.
Randy went to be a guest judge on the Nashville Star reality show after the Alabama Band broke up. As he sat and judged the contestants he got the performing bug again.
A couple of days later he asked the show's band if they would like to go out and do some live shows with him and the agreed.
Since then, Randy has formed another band and is once again touring.
What I find interesting about this is that his band leader is a former #1 country star by the name of Wade Hayes. I toured with Wade back when his career was on a roll. I saw him a while back and asked him about touring with Randy and he said that he just loved to play music so much that he was glad to do it. Beside the fact that Randy paid pretty well.
Another thing, Mark Herndon was not the original drummer for Alabama but joined the group before they became famous. When they went on to form the corporation he was asked if he wanted to be a part of it and he said "No, this is never going to be anything other than a cover band and will never go anywhere". Though he would probably never admit it, I'm sure he regrets that decision to this day because even though Alabama made him a rich man he was still a hired gun and received only 'show pay'.
To this day he receives no benefits from being a long time member of the band.
To those of you who don't know, a cover band is someone who has no originals and only 'covers' other peoples hit songs.

Just out of curiosity, do you know Jeremy Owsley a driver out of TN? I met him back when we were touring with Sugar Ray, but he is in the same industry as you. Super nice guy, I have lost touch with him over the years. Just curious if you knew him.
The name doesn't ring a bell but there are a lot of us running around up here. I may know him if I saw his face.

Man you know everyone. It would have been easier to name the ones you didn't know. Bet you put a lot of miles on that bus. Are you still on the road? Are you the one that the turkey flew into the bus window? That's a long time to be on the road bet you have been everywhere.
Almost everywhere. I'm in Biloxi, MS tonight leaving in an hour or so for Nashville then back to PC for a couple of days. I do between sixty and a hundred thousand miles a year.
That was me that hit the turkey. Talk about a wake-up call, that'll do it.
Take care, gotta fly. Nashville awaits.

plus a few hundred more backstage at various shows. Movie stars are my favorites. Nobody looks at the world the way they do.
By the way, I love Marty's stories about some of the dumba$$ things our local hillbilly singing star did in the beginning of his career.
Fifteen long, long years on the road summed up in one post. Damn I'm tired.

Turkeys are very stubborn, on my way out to Buchanan by backroads, I have had to stop several times and let a stupid Turkey walk across the road. They just strut on across like there is not a huge car sitting there honking at them.
OK, picture this. A couple of years ago I was at the intersection of Acworth Due West Road and Stilesboro. My light was red.
The Stilesboro light was green but traffic wasn't moving.
There was about 6 huge turkeys that had made their way into the road and were looking into one gentleman's car, I suppose for food. Obviously some motorist had thrown something to eat out to them earlier.
This poor guy had a turkey standing in front of his car looking up over the hood and wouldn't move. The guy gets out of the car and starts to shoo the turkey away. When he got the bird to move he got back into his car and the light turned red for him.
It wasn't 30 seconds until the turkeys were back surrounding his car.
By this time the whole intersection was completely stopped and watching. Everyone was really laughing at this poor guy. Not knowing what else to do, he got back out of the car and tried to shoo the turkeys away again but everytime one would leave, the previous one came back.
The last time I saw him he was leaning against his car door laughing so hard he was about to wet his pants.
Where is the video camera when you need it?

That didn't happen on Cedarcrest, did it?
Naw, this happened on the New York Thruway about 120 miles east of Buffalo, just after daybreak and I was running about 73 mph.
I was on my way to Niagara Falls and when I got there the hotel bellmen got into an argument over whether turkeys could or couldn't fly. Go figure.
-
Another 6 inches higher and I probably could have brought him home for dinner, or at least hand delivered him to his turkey funeral.
The last thing to pass thru his mind was his arse...
From the shape of the cracks it does look like I rear-ended him.

Greetings y'all,
I am looking for someone to deliver and distrbute approximately 25 bales of pine straw on my property. I live in the New Hope area and cash payment is fine.
I also need it done before Saturday.
PM me with a quote if you will.
Thanky...
-
That would be a long way from you ? Maybe?
I think it is. We are really close to the Pickett's Mill Historic Site entrance. Just south of the Garrison Ridge Subs.
Right about here...
The siren she heard was probably at the Sheriff's Office. If so, we need one in downtown New Hope.
-
Does anyone know if there is an emergency siren located in or around New Hope.
We live off Mt. Tabor Church between Due West and 381. Wifey said she could hear one in the distance but not close by.
Thanks...
BTW, Greetings from Virgiia Beach. The sky is completely clear and the temp is around 72 degrees with a light sea breeze.
Just thought I would
rub it in, err... let you know.RT
