stumpys update

In between flat tires...that was a pretty good weekend. Those Monkey Boys did a pretty good job of helping me forget the three hours I waited on the side of SH171 just west of Hubbard. Note to self..no matter how much you get the urge..when on your scooter stay off the shoulder... Yeah well sometimes you just have to sit and endure the pain and discomfort...hmmmm that statement should be incorporated into the standard wedding vows. Anyway...many thanks to Me And My Monkey for making Friday so memorable I barely remember the six hour virus in the middle of my trek to the Metroplex. I do want to give partial credit to the Mich Ultra and the blond number perched next to me at the bar...oh they helped as well....What band??

Remember I said tires... I was still feeling the effects of some of the best blues around when I discovered that my truck..bless it's old heart..had a less that fluffy front paw/tire when I returned to Waco. Thank good ness for Jason Elmore and Hoo Doo Witch for assuaging my grief from that little find...this is the 21st century...why do we still have pneumatic tires?? What happened to the jet cars those Jetson folks had?? Ok where was I...oh yeah Jason...that Cat can flat bring it..and let me make this little announcement right now...I will remind you...this coming New Years Eve...Jason Elmore...Oliver White...both..we have them both for what will most certainly be the Blues Event of 2010 and 2011...North North Texas invades North Central Texas....this will be something to remember...Tickets go on sale December 1st..I will remind you..some one remind me...

OK now this weekend....The Fabulous Fender Benders take the stage Friday night..Fender Heads Unite!!! I would really like to see a return of this once mighty army of followers...c'mon Fender Heads...it's time!!

Saturday..some band named Coldrake ...I may have heard of them before...oh wait..yeah now I remember..this is that band that plays all the hugely kick arse rock & roll...ohhhh yeahhhh Now I remember..and they seem to have a following of a fair to middlin quantity of single ladies.... And...they have a real Engineer in the band so if an oil spill erupts out in the parking lot...he can get the train started really fast and get us out of there... Small cover Satruday...arrive early.

One sort of sad note...our wonderful sister and fellow Stumpian Miss Gina lost her dad this week. We thought about flowers or plant or something but Miss Anna came up with a much better idea...we are going to keep a jar up front for everyone to maybe place a little something in it to help with some of the smaller funeral costs etc...A memorial to a good man that gave us his wonderful daughter to be our friend and fellow Stumpian... (over look the fact that she completely rejected me and my advances years ago...) We love you Gina.

In Two weeks....be ready...A Higgins is coming armed with a double barreled Leah and an automatic FUNN TEXAS. This invasion is turning into a Big Wampum with an army led by Kitten's Krew. There will be photo shoot aimed at saving breasts for all mankind to revel in..or motor boat..which ever you prefer. Saturday May 22nd...just Be ready...Beware..and Be at Stumpy's.

About two o'clock Friday afternoon ..while I was sitting on my scooter...the one with the flat tire..I realized that no matter how long it took at some point I would be back in my spot...cold Mich in hand. Help was on the way...I live in America. Veterans like Gina's dad who just passed sacrificed a lot for us to have this home...the Men and Women who wear Americas Military uniforms and put themselves in harms way...sacrifice a lot for us to have this home.. Say a prayer for them...no sacrifice needed...just a little visit with God..take the time.

(I may not be in the house this weekend)

stumpys update

I truly hate to sound corny...my good friend and older, wiser confidant Sandy tells me I am a real dork..did you notice that I said older? Anyway at the risk of sounding corny or dorky or nerdy ..let me just say this...the new band Gina brought us Friday..Outta The Blue ..well they really did a great job and it was a truly terrific surprise...it's like they came ..(are you ready for this??)...yep..right out of the blue...I know that was really bad and I apologize but it had to be done... Nice gig dudes...

Saturday THE ZEW rocked us!! I would say something like all the animals felt uncaged and free but that would just prolong this agonizing search for something to say ...soooo I will just go with..that was fun...they will be back as will Outta The Blue..Really nice weekend Stumpians..thanks.

OK now this coming weekend prepare to be entertained...Friday Night it is back to the 60's...dig out your old Beatle Boots(I had some)..get out that tattered old Beatles Wig( I had one)..dust off your Nehru Jacket..( I was not that dorky Sandy...I did not have one of those)..do what ever it takes to get ready for Me And My Monkey...I looove this band...like I say every time..I know all the words to all the songs. Beatle Tribute time Stumpians....Friday Night...Me And My Monkey:Tribute to The Fab Four.

Saturday Night...Birthday Parties Abound..Sam, Nikki, RahRah and Amy ...I am throwing in a special word for my Friend Lei Lei in Chi-Town..I rudely left mention of her Birthday out last week..how dare I...well I am old..I do forget..( I Iove that excuse) ...Anyway back to the parties...might I suggest we all take time to take naps Saturday afternoon because Saturday night you are going to want to remain alert...this may get interesting...on top of all that...Jason Elmore and Hoo Doo Witch will be on stage...and it is their CD Release Party!! This is Jason Stumpians!!!

If I may repeat myself...I will put our entertainment line up against any other venue in the Metroplex...Friday Night..The Fab Faux Four:Me And My Monkey ...Saturday night...The Incredibly talented Jason Elmore and Hoo Doo Witch CD Release Party....(FYI just signed for July .American Idol Third Runner Up, Nikki McKibbin)

I can't let this go with out making some mention...I caught the Reverend Al Sharpton on one of the Talking Heads Sunday morning "News" shows... He was expounding his views on this Arizona Immigration mess..and racism..his favorite subject... Just a couple of observations...one is ..if Al is a Reverend ..why was he not in church somewhere preaching instead of spewing his racist filth on national TV?? He made this statement...and you may look it up because shockingly it is true..I heard it..."Probably not all Republicans are Racists..but all Racists are probably Republicans." My other observation is this ..Al Sharpton is an idiot who continues to suck off the poor uneducated people he caters too.

When I was attending Eastern Hills Elementary School we stood up and Pledged Allegiance the The Flag every school day...we also listened to a morning Prayer every day from the Principal Mr Freeman. By today's standards we were just awful...when did we get so smart and sophisticated as to realize the wickedness of our ways?? That must be the reason I ask for everyone to say a prayer for our servicemen every week...bad habits just seem to hang on and on and on...Hit your knees Stumpians..remember our heroes in Prayer.

Peace/Victory
