59 looks like 88

To explain my last post a bit more: the Battle of the Band's in question occured at Centenary College for the radio station, KSCL. Chris and I were last minute additions to the solo performing acts category because someone else had pulled out. Chris and I spoke the afternoon before the show and I suggested I be his "hypeman", y'know, Flavor Flav to his Chuck D. He thought it would be a funny idea and agreed. We listened to the tracks he would be performing at his house beforehand and then got up on stage and did what we did. When they got around to announcing the winners I wasn't really listening because I figured I had completely spoiled any chance Chris had of winning. Someone tapped me on the back and said "Congartulations!" to which I responded, "For What?". I walked on sunshine for the rest of the evening, went to Lil Joe's and got glared at by the guys in Squint and was basically just really happy to be in Shreveport when I was. Chris and I got some QT in the next day, watched Sympathy for Mr. Vengance and discussed his screenplay a little bit (I wish I had done more of that with him). Chris as usual had a ton of cool graphic novels for me to read and there was a great game of drunk Scrabble that I did not participate in because I began to get VERY tired after eating Saturday night. I got up Sunday and drove back to Monroe. That's it in a nutshell except that I also picked up the new Sam Peckinpah Legendary Westerns DVD box set which has made me a happy clam. I watched Ballad of Cable Hogue last night and got all stroppy watching Jason Robbards galavanting around the desert. Interesting fact: Peckinpah died when he was 59 but looked like he was 88! The more you know!
