They're Back!

The Spice Girls have announced their reunion tour. Will I be going...no.



I love when Mel B asks...why did we decide to do it now? Exuberantly she says..."Because it has been way too long!!!!" Bitch please...me thinks a couple of you are broke and need the change. I mean...Emma "Baby" Bunton is doing commercials for Prego for Chrissake! They also talk about Simon Fuller with such optimism and accolade, but didn't they like FIRE him at the height of their popularity? Maybe I am wrong. I dunno, but good for them and making $20 million each. [AOL]

The Not So News

- Fashion designer Liz Claiborne has passed away at the age of 78. Liz was big time back in the 80's and I remember a couple of my classmates always sported new Claiborne purses. Ah...I should have known I was gay back then. [abcnews]

- Buhnoonce's new album tanked, therefore she is trying to make up for it by scalping tickets to her own concert. I mean...who in God's name is going to pay $350 to see her perform? Greedy greedy greedy. Her father, when asked about it, played dumb, but of course he hasn't returned any calls after he said he would look into it. SHOCKING! [perezhilton]

I'd hate to be her assistant

Here is a lovely little clip from Paula Abdul's new reality show.



I mean...really? I know Paula Abdul is all kinds of "big time" but even still...does she have SO little time that she can't pack a small bag herself, or even keep a bag packed at all times that has the things she knows will make her flight more comfortable? Ho says she is not going to sleep because her pants are too tight...sure...are we supposed to believe that she doesn't have a prescription for every single sleeping pill on the market...including a couple not approved by the FDA that you can only get in a dark alley in Mexico from a "pharmacist" named Pedro...I think not. At least give your assistants a list of stuff you would like...as they are not mind readers.

Music Video of The Day

Avril Lavigne - When You're Gone. While I like this song, I HATE the blatant product placement. Can you figure out what is being advertised...besides horrible contrustion provided by shitty contractors.

Beyonce a member of the Borg?

For all you people that don't know what a Borg is, it is a species from Stat Trek: The Next Generation (google it) that looks much like Beyonce did during her performance on the BET awards. Maybe it is just me, but I wouldn't be surprised since her dad has been trying to "assimilate" all of us ever since her second album, BDay, tanked. Maybe it is just me...you be the judge.

Her next song: "Resistance is Futile" letting us know that we cannot get away from the Beyonce Machine.

Also, while we are on the subject, of "what had happened?". What in God's name has happened to Michelle Williams' body? She is looking all kinds of anorexic. I used to think she was the hot one and now she is the not one. I am thinking someone has berated her (read: Beyonce and Kelly) and she just stopped eating because that dress looks like it is about to slide right off of her.

What had happened to Vivica?

Remember when Vivica A. Fox was a vision? I used to think she was one of the HOTTEST women EVER. Now...not so much. That bad wig, matched with the fug dress, and terrible shoes. No words...NONE. She needs to bring the sexy Vivvy back. PLEASE!

I am SO Blind

From today's NY Daily News:

"Which recent handsome escort of an errant heiress was just a gay friend called in to make her super-rich ex jealous?"

The only heiress that anyone seems to care about these days is Paris Hilton...you know except the good people of NYC who love all kinds of heiresses, but anyway...if we are talking about good ole Paris, then my guess would have to be the most recent "beau" to be around her: Josh Henderson who had a shortlived role on Desperate Housewives. And seriously, after making a music video like this...I am kind of convinced.


SO GAY!

I certainly won't say anything

I am not EVEN going to comment on a certain celebutard who was released from a certain county facility in a certain state where certain people can be famous for doing or not doing certain things. But, I will say that good ole Lindsay has extended her stay at Promises Rehab, but I feel the only reason she is doing that is because as soon as she is released she will have to face drug charges. You can only delay the inevitable you silly silly girl...just ask all the kids from Final Destination 1, 2, & 3. They are all dead now.

Dixie Chicks - Top of The World

Clive Davis is a douche

Everyone is STILL talking about Kelly Clarkson's album and how it isn't good. Well, I am sure most of those people are Clive's "yes men", and haven't actually listened to it. I will say it again...it is a departure, but it is a fantastic album. The Chicago Tribune is comparing all of this mess to what The Dixie Chicks went through last year when they released "Taking the Long Way", which was a grammy smash (eat that with your crazy unhinging jaw Reba McEntire). Political fallout was more to blame for the Dixie Chicks' problems, as was the lack of promotion and disc jockey's refusing to play their stuff. I want every single person out there to go buy this album and I hope that Kelly takes home more grammy's just to show up Clive and make him realize that his old school style of thinking, isn't what the general public is wanting anymore, because if it were, industrywide sales would not be down 16% from an already slumping amount of sales from the previous year. BTW, record execs should worry less about people like Kelly who are putting effort into their art and worry more about people like Britney Spears who can't seem to find a pair of clean panties but sure as hell can find comfort in drowning her sorrows with booze and empty calories.

Ze Germans hate Cruiseazy

Access Hollywood is reporting that Germany will not allow Tom Cruise access into their country to film a movie about WWII because of his crazy Scientology cult ties. Germany, much like the rest of the world, does not recognize Scientology as a religion and sees it more of a money making pyramid scheme...like School Fundraisers, Pampered Chef, Advocare, and Mary Kay. Good for the German's standing up to his ridic-dic-diculous antics, but I guess this means WWIII, Earth vs Aliens, will begin shortly. I wonder what part of the chain of command he will give to David Beckham in his army of aliens? Of course, now that he owns LA Galaxy, I am thinking Princess Leah in the gold bikini chained to his throne. [AccessHollywood]

I HATE a Spoiled Brat

This is exactly what is wrong with America and why we are all going to hell in a handbasket. Audrey is the picture of spoiled rotten and she needs a good mesquite limb across her face, her ass, and her back for having a nuclear meltdown after her mother gives her a brand new Lexus SC430 at a time other than her party. I did not see this, and I am really glad I didn't because I hate her.


Audrey Is A Great Daughter And Human Being
Uploaded by TheDlisted

In the end, I hear that her mother took the car back and cancelled the party, as she should. WTF does a 16 year old need with a tricked out Lexus SC430 anyway? Spoiled little bitch. I do find it very funny when she whips that tiara off her head and runs away like an ogre screaming "you are so stupid, you ruined everything, that's not even the car I wanted, I hate you". Seriously, I will gladly take that car off of her hands...call me. Thanks MTV for giving me a glimpse into a world I really don't think I want to know anything about because it just makes me very very angry. Furthermore, had I acted like that my parents would have hoisted me up in a tree and beat me like a pinata.

Stories of Pride

Hey guys, I went to Houston Pride this weekend and I had fun and well, I have some stories. It is too long on here, and since it involves the nightlife, I posted it over at Put It On My Tab. I have pictures of the weekend, but I seem to have misplaced my camera somewhere between home and the office. Follow the linke to the party.

The Not So News

- $2 million for Eva Longoria's wedding photos? Really? $2 million? What about Eva Longoria and Tony Parker makes them worth $2 million for some color photos? OK! magazine, while not confirmed, has won the bidding war, and totally got raped. How much are they pre-selling the photos for shots of their divorce papers? Guess that hooker has to do something as she won't have much to do when Desperate Housewives finally gets cancelled. Although she could totally come work for her alleged uncle who is a plumber in my hometown. [entertainmentwise]

- Rosie O'Donnell will not be taking over hosting duties for Bob Barker as previously discussed. Apparently, they were unwilling to compromise on her keeping residency in NYC and making trips out to the West Coast for several tapings a day a few times a month. I wasn't really feeling Rosie as a good replacement for Bob, because while I love Rosie, I just don't see anyone having the ability to take over for Bob...EVER. [dlisted]

- The ever loathesome Cammy D has gotten into some hot water in Peru because of her fashion. The sandpaper faced actress was sporting a bag with a red star and chinese words on it that translated to: Serve The People, and was used during a time when the late Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong, led an insurgency in the 1980s and early 1990s that left nearly 70,000 dead. She issued a publicist released apology and giggled all the while thinking..."DAMNIT my plan to bring back communism through fashion has been foiled!" She also praised Peruvians' beauty and warmth and said she hoped "for their continued healing." Because you know...nothing helps heal a wound like reslicing it open with the rusty serated knife her facialist uses to smooth out Cammy's lines. [people]

- Jessy and Kate's stylist lives in a pig stye. Jessica Paster held a "cattle style" casting call at her home this past weekend for a new assistant and everyone in attendance got a glimpse at what it is like to be the person that makes the likes of Jessy Simpson look so damn glamorous...disgusting. Apparently the floor of her house is full of expensive clothes from designers that her dog uses to sleep, eat, and take a piss on. I can only imagine as part of the interview process, and just so they know their place in her organization, the applicants had to follow the dog around, watch it piss or shit on couture, and then show their expertise in getting a dookie stain out of Armani. Luckily, she treated them to Nicole Richie's old diet of Lean Cuisine and Red Bull. Can you imagine working for such a person? I would die, actually, I would slap her across the face and tell her to snap out of it. WHO does that? And seriously, at $5,000 a day, bitch can afford someone to clean that shizz up. [pagesix]

3 Months and I'm Still Breathing

Chad is SUCH a Diva

This story does NOT surprise me one damn bit. Page Six is reporting on Chad Michael Murray's diva-like antics on the set of "One Tree Hill". Saying, "EVEN though Chad Michael Murray allegedly cheated on his "One Tree Hill" co-star Sophia Bush with Paris Hilton and others during their engagement and brief marriage, he was a "jealous diva" toward other male actors who filmed scenes with Bush, even after their split." Really? Really? They go on to say that he had another actor fired from the show because he thought he was flirting with his now ex-wife Sophia. CMM is a douche, and he is a horendous actor AND he is NOT hot. He has that David Caruso head cock to the side and Days of Our Lives John Black eye squint and whispery voice. That combination does not a good actor make. PS, he also looks 10 years too old to be playing a kid in high school. Someone should really tell him that moisturizing is the key. For the life of me, I do not see what his appeal is, nor do I want to see what his appeal is. He must have a huge peen.

Tripping in Charlotte: Part 2

I basically crashed the night I arrived in Charlotte, but had to get up early to attend the Kick Off Assembly at 8:30am the next day. This is when I started looking for my colleagues from Austin, and with attempts to reach them by phone...nothing. I park my ass at the back of the banquet hall and fall asleep twice during the speeches. THEN, Greg Levin got up to speak and I was wide awake. Greg Levin writes for Callcenter Magazine and has a column or something. He is cute, and he lives in Austin too. He gave a good speech, but I stayed awake mostly because I thought he was cute, and thought me might be a homo because he was dressed very unlike a straight man. Turns out...married with child. Oh well. After the speeches I hauled ass down to the tradeshow so that I could scoop up as much free crap as I could. Of course, this year the free crap basically included pens with company names on them...wow thanks. I ran into my cohorts from Austin and we hung out, chatted up vendors, got registered for the big "invitation only" parties, and then went to a couple classes and then got the hell out of there and headed to the nearest Hooters. We rolled up, ordered some beers, only to discover that one of the waitresses was 5 months pregnant. I know what you are thinking..."charming". And it was, and that girl was trying to hide it as well as she could with her tight tank top and high shorts. We got a good buzz and left. Shawn pulled up to my hotel and I insisted that he drop me off at the front doors, not just stop in the street and let me get out. I kind of half staggered into the hotel lobby and decided not to let my beer buzz die and went to the hotel bar where I heard someone scream, "CHARLIE...OVER HERE". I thought...who on God's green earth could possibly know me here? I look over and it is a colleague of mine from another County sitting in a chair sipping on a glass of wine. This woman can be quite a bit to take sometimes, but I thought...she has seen me and I can't avoid her now. I walked over, sat down and she immediately starts telling me about the Texas Party she went to and how it was SO boring, but how she scored 3 drink tickets and used them all. I thought...yeah...that's great, where is the waitress because I am going to need a VERY large drink. About that time this woman who can only be described as Cloris Leachman's younger, but older looking, sister with a bad dye job comes stumbling up to sit down. Can I also say that this woman had quite a bit of "wear and tear" look on her too. She sat down and immediately took her hand to her head and started running her claws through her blonde hair with greenish looking highlights, spoke in a slurred speech and had a look of "I'm hungry for a man" in her eyes.... to be continued.

One of the "Bachelors" was there

This weekend I spent Sunday with my family for Father's Day. The group included my dad, mom, brother, his girlfriend, my nannie, and me. We gathered around the dinner table and had lunch together. The conversation of high school graduation dinners came up and my parents and nannie were discussing which parties they had been invited to and who was in attendance. Well, in my hometown there is a gay couple who have been together for quite a while, one of which works with my mom. Apparently, each one of them attended seperate parties, one of which my nannie was attending. She was going down the list telling us who was there and then she got to him and said..."and one of the bachelors was there, or whatever they like to be called". My brother and I immediately looked up at each other and almost lost our lunch because it was SO funny the way she said it, "the bachelors". HAHAHAHA. Why was that so funny...because I am a homo. Now laugh damnit!

I'm So Blind

I am loving NY Daily News' daily "blind items", because they are SO MUCH FUN trying to figure out. From today's issue:

Which rising country star who markets himself as straight and Southern actually has a boyfriend and is from a chilly corner of the Midwest?

I have no idea, as I do not listen to country music...any takers? I mean, he is lying about his sexuality AND where he is from. Sounds like he has issues and someone I would totally date.

[nydailynews]

What gays are these exactly?

Some nut job named Jasmyne Cannick, which I will pronounce Jaz-mine, has started an online petition to get Isaiah Washington his job back on the hit show Grey's Anatomy because she feels that he has paid his dues in his bid to make amends for calling TR Knight a faggot. She said she's infuriated ABC booted Washington from the show's upcoming fourth season for calling Knight a "faggot" during a scuffle on the set and believes it smacks of racism. ALWAYS with the racism. She also said, "further adds to a disturbing new trend at ABC wherein minority actors have been dismissed at an alarming rate over the past two years. Blacks, including . . . Star Jones ('The View'), Harold Perrineau ('Lost'), Alfre Woodard, Mehcad Brooks and Page Kennedy ('Desperate Housewives') have been let go . . . One must ask themselves, what is going on? . . . " So far she has garnered 1,233 signatures. Regarding those people she listed, Star Jones deserved to get fired because she was a monster and monsters belong on late night TV, not the light of day, Harold Perrineau is the only one to smart enough to get his ass off the island and that is a fete if you ask me, and the rest knew they were only going to be on DH for one season. Racism? Please. This woman needs to shut her trap, mostly because good ole Isaiah has allegedly been quoted as bitching and moaning about all the "hoops" ABC made him jump through when in reality he should be doing it because it is the right thing to do and to better himself, not to secure his paycheck. All I have to say to her petition is "good luck with that" because I don't see it helping his cause and I seriously doubt that getting less than 1% of viewers who watch the show to sign a silly petition will be very effective. I also don't think the producers nor ABC will bring an actor back that is causing dissension in the ranks, because when you have more than half the cast pissed off the overall quality will suffer, and NOBODY wants that you silly woman. PS - Just so you know, it was more about doing the right thing in sending a message that none of that kind of talk will not be tolerated and SO much less about him being black. Also, these gays do NOT speak for the rest of us.

My December: A Review

Okay, for all of those die hard Kelly Clarkson fans out there, I have the new album and have listened to the whole thing in its entirety and I have to say it really isn't as bad as everyone is saying it is. It is exactly what critics say it is when they are referring to it being the opposite of Breakaway. It is dark, and you WILL have to listen to the whole thing twice, maybe three times to fully appreciate it. There are actually a couple of songs that I am not in love with, but my favorite songs are "One Minute", "Sober", "Don't Waste Your Time", "Haunted", "Maybe", and "Irvine". There are quite a few "eff you and go straight to hell" songs on the album and that makes it great. I don't have high hopes for sales this time around, but I get what she is trying to do and I applaud her for every single effort she put forth and the more I listen to it the more I fall in love with it. I have shared the album with other friends and they all agree that one go around is not sufficient to appreciate the whole thing. Some of my favorite lyrics:
Don't Waste Your Time:

Don't waste your time trying to fix
What I want to erase
What I need to forget
Don't waste your time on me my friend
Friend, what does that even mean
I don't want your hand
You'll only pull me down
So save your breath
Don't waste your song on me, on me
Don't waste your time
It's not easy not answering
Every time I want to talk to you
But I can't
If you only knew the hell I put myself through
Replaying memories in my head of you and I
Every night
Sober:
And I don’t know
I could crash and burn but maybe
At the end of this road I might catch a glimpse of me
So I won’t worry about my timing, I want to get it right
No comparing, second guessing, no not this time
...but I know it's never really over

Haunted:
The voices in my head
Whispers taunting
All the things you said
Faster the days go by
and I’m still Stuck in this moment of wanting you here
Time
In the blink of an eye
You held my hand, you held me tight
Now you’re gone
And I’m still crying
Shocked, broken I’m dying inside
....I miss you, you hurt me
You left with a smile
Maybe:
And I’ll probably never have it all figured out
But what I know is I wasn’t meant to walk this world without you
And I promise I’ll try
Yeah I’m gonna try to give you every little part of me
Every single detail you missed with your eyes
Then maybeMaybe, yeah maybe
One day
We’ll meet again and you’ll need me, you’ll see me completely
Every little bit
Oh yeah maybe you’ll love me, you’ll love me then
I don’t want to be tough
And I don’t want to be proud
I don’t need to be fixed and I certainly don’t need to be found
I’m not lost
I need to be lovedI just need to be loved
I should know better than to touch the fire twice
But I’m thinking maybe, yeah maybe you might
In the end, I will admit that I probably would not have given this album a second listen if it weren't Kelly Clarkson, but I am glad and did, AND I encourage everyone to go out and buy this album, because despite what the critics say and what everyone thinks they know, they don't know the gem this album really is, and I can't say enough...the more I listen the more I love.

Dido - Life For Rent. It is about time this woman came out with an album.

No she diin't

What was she thinking...and what was the woman in the background REALLY saying? All that work and she still didn't win anything. Poor ole Eve.

Always about Reichen

I swear, this fame whore is never far from trying to get himself into the media or have his picture taken for the gazillionth time. I mean...now this? Good ole Reichy has himself a jewelry line at some website called Love and Pride, and get this, it seems to be named "Fly Naked with Reichen". Let me be the 27th person to say...congrats, your crap is not cute. Personally, I have no problem with a silly fame whoring homo creating a jewelry line, BUT what does wearing jewelry have to do with him laying naked on a slab of concrete with a fighter jet photoshopped into the sky? If the pilot of that plane were smart he would drop a bomb on him. Oh wait, maybe he is promoting that he is a bottom, probably a bossy bottom. Is it absolutely necessary that he be in ALL of the pictures? How about focusing on the jewelry and not his bare ass. There are A LOT of homo designers out there that know good PR and Advertising and how it works better when they don't put themselves in the pictures. I think just about every homo knows who he is by now...thanks to Lance Bass. I also don't know any homos that particularly care for him or would drop $149 for a tacky piece of jewelry made by someone the rest of the world has never heard of nor cares about. Actually, my friends are just fine with buying cheap shiny accessories at ALDO.
Shockingly, a shiny titanium cockring is missing from the list of inventory. Well, I am sure they have overlooked that minor detail and are working on it as I type this. And if that wasn't bad enough, 10% of the revune will go to help the Servicemember's Legal Defense Network, which is doing what it can to lift the ban on gays in the military. I wouldn't get my hopes up about the proceeds going to help anyone because 10% of zero is still nothing. 10%...really? Why not 100%? Oh that's right, Reichy's gotta pay for the lifestyle he has become accustomed. I am sure when someone finally does buy that propellor money clip for $125, that $12.50 will be put to good use in putting less than 4 gallons of gas in some attorney's shiny new S-Class. Geez, how did Lance Bass put up with it for so long? Am I right ladies? On second thought...who the hell cares. Can someone tell me when the next bus gets here, because there is NO way I am getting on that flight.

To Charlotte and Back: Part 1

My trip to Charlotte was a very very interesting ordeal, as have been most of my annual trips for work. It seems that I am never very far from some outlandish, slightly unbelievable occurence, and I am glad for that because it makes these nerdy trips less boring. I left Austin on Sunday morning with very little effort. The lady at the ticket counter applauded me for reaching exactly 49lbs (1lb under the "anything over $50 gets you a service charge of $25). I made sure to let her know I was traveling for five days and needed several costume changes PER day. She laughed a bit, and then THREW my suitcase on the bag check belt. I slept until I got to New York, and when I got off the plane and walked out onto the JetBlue terminal I was horrified at what I would later find was not, in fact, a terminal under construction, but their finished product. It was very high school gym industrial...and not in a cute way at all. I arrived in Charlotte, got my rental RAV-4, btw, anyone over 6'0 tall should not drive this car because the steering wheel does not adjust high enough for long legged people. I got to my VERY posh hotel...The Westin, and got settled in. I registered at the conference, and then headed straight to the concierge (Miranda or Mandy or Matilda...can't remember) and was like..."hey girl, does this town have any cute gay bars?" I think she lost her shit for a minute or two because I was asking her a question with the word "gay" in it. She started rambling off names of bars, or what she thought were the names of the bars and looking on the internet. Now, come on, this girl was blonde tall and pretty in a southern farm girl who probably had to leave home because she got knocked up by her 2nd cousin Zeke, so I figured she would have been able to, like, totally tell me where I could go. NATCH. Then she starts to write down what she thinks the names are...misspelling each and every single name. "Scorpeoes (Scorpio), Leeyaysons (Liaisons), and" there was another but I forget the name. She highly recommended Scorpio because it was fun on Sunday night and she has been to 60% of the gay bars in Charlotte and it is the best. 60% huh? Well, that is lovely. I ended up going to Liaisons, which was not full of cute people. I had one beer, and got the hell out of there. Also, apparently you have to be a member of a club to drink in Charlotte...Mindy never mentioned this. Oh well, I went back to my room, crashed and went to the conference the next day. To be continued...

To celebrate their reunion, Spice Girls - Viva Forever

Of course she is out of jail

I am so glad she survived...I mean...good for her. I can rest at night knowing the whole ordeal is over and done with. In case you don't know, Paris is out of jail. I knew that hooker wasn't going to serve the entire 23 days. 3 days...I can't even imagine what kinds of things she saw. According to TMZ, she has been ankle braceleted and is under house arrest for 40 days. SICK OF IT. I wish they would have locked her up and thrown away the damn key...FOR REALS! Although, I guess I can rest in bliss knowing that girl got cavity searched, but I wonder if they found anything good? Meanwhile, have a gander at this spoof video:

Time to go to the house

Bob Barker taped his final show this past Wednesday, marking the end of an era that has already found a place in television history. Bob told the studio audience, "I thank you, thank you, thank you for inviting me into your home for more than 50 years. I'm truly grateful, and I hope that all of you have enjoyed your visit to 'The Price Is Right.'" A new host has not been announced yet, but they might as well hang it up and go to the house too, because much like The View without Rosie, I have a feeling people aren't going to be tuning into the show as religiously as they once did.Not long too long ago I travled to LA with a band of friends from all over the country in an attempt to get onto the show, and it is a trip that goes down in my book as one of the best, most fun trips of my life. My friend Matt, who LOVES the show with a passion I never realized a person can possess sent out an email as soon as he heard that Barker was retiring inquiring who would be willing to meet up in LA for the chance of a lifetime event. In the end, after agreeing to terms set by Matt (ie NO complaining about sitting and waiting, smiling the ENTIRE time we are there, agreeing to have fun no matter what,...you get the jist), seven of us signed on. We had a crew of people from Austin, Boston, Philly, and Pittsburgh. We flew out, met up, went out the night before, then got up at 3am the day of the taping. None of us realized that we had to get tickets to stand in line to get more tickets to get in line to get into the studio. Nonetheless, none of us cared because we were at the frakin Price is Right! Naturally, we were the best looking people there. After waiting for hours, we were led into the studio, which is SO tiny and very vintage, and the insanity began. My new friend Adam immediately got picked for contestant's row and the bidding began. Naturally, we looked to Matt's wisdom for prices, but it wasn't until the final item up for bid that Adam got on stage. Oh, and can I also make mention of the closet case that faked a proposal with his China Girl fag hag to try to help his odds of getting on stage? I will never forget during a commerical break when some old lady mentioned he had done a lovely proposal to his "girlfriend" and little tiny spitfire Christina belts out in the loudest voice EVER..."IT WAS FAKE". We ALL broke down into tears laughing SO hard. Another favorite line is when Adam's wife KC screamed out (with silence around her) "I LOVE YOU ADAM". OH, and the night we came back to the hotel and Joey and I got the giggles and could NOT STOP LAUGHING. I don't even know what the hell was SO damn funny, but it was. SO much fun. In the end Adam got into the showcase showdown with the fake proposal guy and then lost by like $400. All in all, I would not change a thing about that day or the people I got to do it with. So here is to Bob Barker! Congrats on 35+ years of TPIR, we will miss you! And to the rest of the TPIR crew...thanks for the memories, can't wait to do it again.

At the last minute, I drove to Houston last night to see Fergie in concert with my friend Becky, head over to Put It On My Tab for pictures and a review. Cliff's Notes version...it SUCKED and Fergie is Fuglie.
