I love Dr. Pepper

Another weekend has come and gone. It wasn't the weekend that I had hoped for. In fact, it was a little akward. I guess that I am just not used to having a full, noisy house. It's all good though, sometimes you have to do what you have to do and put up with things that you aren't fully used to, no big deal really. I just wanted to get that off of my chest.

I actually went out on Saturday night to catch the Sound Team (from Austin, TX) at Walter's On Washington. This isn't my favorite venue in Houston, but a lot of shows are getting booked there right now, so what can I do about that?! Not much. It was a good show. They are coming off the heals of their first major label debut (the band was signed to Capitol Records a while back), so I was anxious to catch the show. So, I decide to leave the house around 10-ish since this is Walter's after all and the Headling Act probably won't go on until Midnight or so, right?! Wrong! I got there just as the band playing says, "This is our last song, Sound Team will be up next," and I was like...what!? Well, it was true. Good thing I got there when I did. I wish I knew the songs so I can post a set list, but sadly, I don't know their new material all that well...actually, I don't know any of their new stuff. It was a good live show though, and will really try to catch them the next time they come through. The plus side of the night was the sound. The sound was very good. The last couple of times, it was either too loud, or something was a bit off, but last night the sound was very good. Props to the sound guys at Walter's! They did a very nice job! It actually makes the whole experience of seeing a show there a half way pleasant one. I am sure that the ear plugs that I had on helped me out, you know?!? Now, if we can just do something about all of the smoke in there, we will be good.

I gotta tell you, it is still akward going out by myself. I mean, I just feel like I am a bit out of place or something. Last night wasn't all that bad, but I am not the person to socialize to strangers and all that stuff. Mike was going to try and make it out there last night, but when I told them that they were going on earlier than expected, understandably, he wouldn't have made it out in time, so he skipped out. I suppose that I would rather feel a little akward catching a show by myself rather than missing out on the the show totally, right!? I would think so. It also helps out when you have a couple of beers before heading out. Saves a little money too. Ha! Ha! I tried out some Skinney Dip (it's a Summer Brew from the makers of Fat Tire), I think that it is fairly tastey too! Once at Walter's I switched to Shiner, it seems that I haven't drank Shiner in sometime, but it was a nice change for me. All in all, it turned out to be a decent Saturday night for me....of course, coming home and catching the South Park movie on the Comedy Central Secret Stash was a added bonus and a great way to end the night! LOL!!
