Old 97's

Tonight is a concert night. I always get excited when I know that I am going to go to a show later in the day. I am a music person. I love to sit back and listen to music and I love to sing along with it. The band tonight is perfect for both. The Old 97's are an alt-country band that originates from Dallas and have had moderate success nationwide. Hands down, they are one of the best live shows that you can ever see. It's my seventh time to see them, but the first in three years. I've got a great show on the horizon, there is a cold front in the air, and I've got good friends to share it all with, who could ask for more?

The Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butter Pecan, Pumpkin, Very Berry and Banana. Today is Teacher Day. If you are a teacher, bring your ID in and get a small yogurt for 99 cents. Spread the word.

The bagels have arrived! We currently have a full stock of all bagels (Blueberry, Cinnamon, Onion, Sweet Wheat, White and the Perfect 10), English Muffins and pita bread. Come in and get these great Weight Watchers® friendly items today.

The winner for last week's poll of the best city in Texas was...Austin. No surprise there folks. This week, I am replacing the poll with an open comments section. List your top three to five concerts that you have attended. Here are mine:

Radiohead at the Woodlands-Kid A/Amnesiac Tour (Otherworldly)
Local H and Fuel at Deep Ellum Live-1999 Sunburn Tour (Awesome Jam Session)
The Hangdogs and Old 97's at the Gypsy Tea Room-1999 Fight Songs Tour (Backstage)
Depeche Mode at Reunion Arena-1998 Singles Tour (Greatest Seats Evar!)
Metallica at Will Rogers Collesium-1997 Load Tour (I'm in the video from this show.)

A close runner up to my favorite concert list would have to be Rage Against the Machine (1996 in Ft. Worth). Let us know what your favorites are by leaving a comment. If anyone can put the Beatles, I'll be jealous. I hope that everyone enjoys a great weather day. Rain is on the way.

Skinny Puppy - 8/2001 - Dresden, Germany
Depeche Mode - Late '90s - Reunion Arena
The Cure - Late '90s - Bronco Bowl
Reverend Horton Heat - Last week or so - Granada Theatre
VNV Nation - Early 2000s - Lizard Lounge

Have seen Tori Amos about 5-6 times and she is mesmerizing each and every time

Some would say the Portishead show at the Bronco Bowl, late 90s, but I fell asleep.

Hoping to add to this list with Covenant in a couple of weeks. I've seen them twice before but under unfortunate circumstances.

Today we have all of the items on the sale rack on sale for 50% off of their lowest marked price. Get some great deals by coming in and shopping the sale rack today! It seems like it got a little chilly last night. My apartment managed to drop down to 47 degrees. It is a bit harder to get out of bed and get ready when it is on the colder side, but the electric bill, or lack there of, is a site to behold. I'm predicting a bill under 13 dollars for the actual charge this month. It is a good thing since I have other things to save for right now. Friday in the News: In 2005, Playgirl magazine conducted a survey among 2,000 of its readers and came to the conclusion that women actually like their men scruffy, a wee bit chubby, and definitely not metrosexual. According to the survey, 42% said they thought love handles were kind of sexy and 47% approved of chest hair. Only 4% of wome...

A Friend In Need

Image
This weekend was a wonderful weekend for me to catch up with friends. Yesterday, I was able to see my best friend who, though it seems like months on end, I have not seen in a month. It was good to be able to sit down and talk again. Many times there are difficulties in our lives, but it is great to know that we are able to turn to others to ask for help. I'd like to thank her for being my friend through everything because that friendship means so much to me. It looks like this weekend’s rain will leave us for a short time to return again next weekend. Wasn't it great? It seemed like the perfect weather to cleanse and renew after so many months of dry, relentless weather. Three weekends in a row would be fantastic. I am thankful for the rain that we have received. The Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Banana (after 7 PM), Peanut Butter (After 7 PM), White Chocolate Raspberry and Vanilla Malt. Today, all UT Dallas Students get a free small yogur...
