I jacked the weekend preview to get revenge on Thor for stealing my Washington Post story. What’s the line? The Early bird gets the worm? Uck worms…which are certain to be out in full force after all this rain. Unfortunately, according to the weather forecast, this is not the last of it. Today is supposed to be rain with thunder and lightning (geee, thanks Thor). Tomorrow is calling for partly sunny with some rain. Sunday calls for rain, rain, and more rain. Don’t let the weather keep you in (unless there are tornado warnings, in which case only weather women should be out)…put on your red panties and check out some of what is lined up for the weekend:
Fridays After Five is supposed to be amazing this week. 106.1 brought in Trees on Fire & NeedToBreathe

so… what’s in the baggie on the table there?
Catnip.
Speaking of this weekend happenings: Yesterday I went to Target and saw a big ass sign outside of Bonefish Grill. It says something like “We are open at 11 on Mother’s Day”
My kind of day… I LOVE eating fish at 11AM. I mean, REALLY?
@ 5 there’s a joke there…oh heck it’s Friday make your own.
Is there a time frame for appropriate consumption of fish?
The La Dolce Vita party at the Woodlands is supposed to be sweet. I’ll be there, doing the plein air painting by the pool.
@5 – I was actually at that Bonefish Grill last Mother’s Day. You want to talk about a shitshow …
434, baby!! errrbody knows that you’re not getting up at 11 on sunday anyway, BECAUSE you’ll be hanging out drinking with me til the wee hours in the morning
ps. come in and have a “baby!” with me tonite
I’ve seen a baggie like that one on the table a few times… I’m going to see Doc Watson at The Paramount Saturday night. Can’t wait.
I guess I’ll take the opportunity to show my outta townies great DJ’ing. Checking out Escafe tonight.
Cadence is good. Knows his stuff. Show him some love.
/its my first friday night off in 1.5 years! Yay!
i’m going to dress up in a giant hot dog suit and run around handing out free condoms.
Dj Cadence is a cool dude. I will pass by and drop in after the Woodlands gig. What are you going to do with your night off B-yo?
@11: You are so right, I shouldn’t even worry about it. I’ll be having babies! with ya all night
big al’s has a dj at 8. oh boy!
siips apparently has wine tasting from 4-6 today & 3-5 tomorrow.
@8 never.
according to the picture it looks like the cat smoked all of the pot. that might explain why he is face first into that glass of water.
@20 i just assumed it was vodka. in which case, i have photos of my erstwhile dog doing that.
@21 so mayyyyyyybe the vodka is the explanation for why all of the pot is gone?
@22 i’d believe it, because spring break 1998 i drank a lot of strawberry daiquiris then ate a baggie of pot. that was my first experience with drugs. i think i was just hungry.
/obviously a gateway drug.
@9 Shen, I’ll be dealing blackjack tonight at the Woodlands. Stop by and say hi.
@24 if i did it would doubtless be the first time anyone ever came straight from wine tasting. tempting…
What is “Big Al’s”, and would they be cool with a dj whose music is so gay it shits glitter?
@27 it is on east high street, between the broasted chicken place and riverside. does that answer your 2nd question?
Where is The Woodlands?
They’re these ridiculous luxury condos on Sunset Ave Ext.
@27 BYo…. If you went to DJ at Big Al’s and played your tunes, you would end up walking home with an amp up your arse and a set of speakers where your balls should be. Think Blues Brothers scene at the country bar (name escapes me) playing Rawhide from behind a chicken wire barricade.
Floozy’s right (although, I think I’ve only seen flying beer bottles once). That place isn’t your scene, B’Yo. Think of it as a good thing!
ThatGrrl… yeah I was REALLY drunk THAT night. Sorry
That’s okay Flooze. Someone’s gotta bring the party!
Throwing beer bottles at Big Al’s is foreplay.
Country bar, eh? Well you know, cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other .
/just sayin
Even Cowboys Get The Blues
the next time i drove past big al’s, they’d changed the sign to “band 9″ so good thing i didn’t go to see the dj…
The S.O. and I actually had a raucously good time at Big Al’s a few months back. We drank infinite PBRs, while this nice local dude taught us a bunch of pool techniques. It was, I should mention, blatantly obvious that the Men weren’t used to having a Lady in their coveted back room. But we endeared ourselves quickly, and vice versa.
Big Al’s: objectively underrated!
I didn’t see a DJ at Big Al’s last night. I saw lots of awful karaoke. T’was my first time there. The best quote of the night: (when asking a waitress where the bathroom was) “What, you can’t smell it?”
i thought you weren’t you going out last night, street…
/if anyone finds a purple credit card in the vicinity of downtown, please holla…
I wasn’t planning on it, orchid. I was swept up in a maelstrom of beer, rowdy people and laughter.
@42 /um, and a black leather charles david boot…
@44 damn just one boot huh orchid? sounds like an interesting night.
in retrospect, “let’s see how many shots of tequila the wedding party will buy us” isn’t such a smart game.
@25 I have been to Big Al’s for the DJ and I LOVE THAT PLACE. Drinks on the cheap… a mirror ball behind the bar… and deep fried anything for under 5 bucks!
@32 actually the DJ plays mostly R&B and Pop music… the “DJ” also does Karaoke.
I love me some Big Al’s.
@37 you know funny you should say that…
@ 46 – i’m sorry that i can’t help you, but that made me laugh really hard…
/learned long ago to avoid tequila shots. margaritas, on the other hand…
Such a cute cat
