Son, you’re gonna’ drive me to drinkin’ If you don’t stop drivin’ that Hot Rod Lincoln

Saturday night at the Continental Club was Jesse Dayton’s Honky Tonk and Hot Rod Music Festival. The show featured one of my favorites, Jesse Dayton and the Road Kings along with two of my other must see performers, Telecaster legend Red Volkert (Red was lead guitarist for the great Merle Haggard for many years) and Two Hoots and a Holler.

Also on the bill was a band I was not familiar with. C.C. Adcock from Lafayette, Louisiana.

C.C. Adcock put on an amazing show. Jesse Dayton even joined them on stage and the two guitar players had at it and it was a rockin good time.

I had to take a flash shot of CC Adcock’s bass player to better show the pepto-pink upright bass.

Uhhh, yea…

All in all a pretty spectacular evening.

Cause what matters most is the feeling you get when you’re hypnotized

The latest from the Cynthia collection.

I really took a liking to this fabric when I found it at the quilting supply store in Katy. Cynthia was not so sure.

Little did we know how hard it would be for Cynthia to work with it. The pattern is … wll, slippery. It litterally makes your eyes swim when you look at it and when you are required to maintain a constant focus for the purpose of cutting and sewing the actual shirt it plays havock on your eyes.

Cynthia actually named this shirt “Swimmy.”

Pictures don’t do it justice. The cobination of light and motion is what really sets this shirt off.

Four pics. 1 front, 1 back and two detail shots. Click any thumb to see a larger version.

I’m playing with the Lightbox java script plugin. When you click the below image a larger version should pop-up in a “Light Box”…it’s a VERY cool effect.

For the record, after Cynthia had her eyes examined and got her new contacts she still thinks I am attractive…so PPPPHHHHHTTTTTTTT!

I’ve lost my TARDIS, you’ve lost your memory; I’d be surprised if the two events weren’t related.

I was perusing the UK Trip Photo Gallery from our trip back in 2003 and I came across this picture I took outside of London. Cynthia could not figure out why I was so enthusiastic about it. She was doubly perplexed when I decided to photograph it.

I suppose, in some ways, I am glad Cynthia is not as much of a nerd/dork as I am.

Of course the situation was repeated last year in Paris when I insisted on stopping at the McDonald’s on the Champs-Elysées and ordering a Royal with Cheese.

Of course that was more of a pop-culture reference than a nerd-moment.

 

It’s like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder

Beats of Basquiat at the Museum of Fine Arts here in Houston, TX was a monthly event that was hosted to celebrate the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Each month there would be live music and Dj’s.

Last night was the final event and the headliner was Grandmaster Flash.

I must say, it was pretty awesome show, in a “I remember the 80’s” kinda way. Lots of good people and a very nice time.
