Hump Day Update
Congrats to the Pittsburgh Steelers on winning Super Bowl XL In honor of their victory and Ben's partying it up with college girls and tequila.....I want one of these.Over the weekend I had double heartache as the Stars and the Sooners both dropped games. The hapless Blues beat the Stars in overtime....but we all know if it would have gone to a shootout, it's game over, Dallas. The OU basketball team lost at Kansas by 1 freakin point, with a couple of no-calls at the end that could have changed the outcome. Now, if the game is played in Norman, OU probably gets those calls and wins, just because of how home-court in basketball has such an officiating advantage. Take a look at the recent Duke/FSU game (at Duke) where Duke had a 43-11 free-throw shooting advantage. It's a problem that is getting a lot of talk right now. stupid Dook.
Speaking of officiating, it's been a rough year for referees in general. Just look at the NFL playoffs (Pitt vs Indy) and even the Super Bowl. Bad calls all over the place. Even in college football (not to be a total homer here, but OU did get robbed at Tech). anyway....
In music news, we are busy busy busy planning our "northerly jaunt." We have now basically confirmed a Cleveland date on March 3 and, of course, we're in Toronto on March 2. This is the band we're playing with in Cleveland for their CD release party. Needless to say, I'm kind of scared that we might:
a) get beat up
b) not go over so well with their crowd
c) get beat up
d) get beat up
But hey, at least we can hang out in "beautiful" Cleveland and see the world's largest rubber stamp and hopefully the river won't catch on fire.
SOUND Team's coming......
March 10 Dallas Good Records In-Store 4 P.M.
March 10 Dallas Gypsy Ballroom
Also, not to totally steal all my good info from GVB, here is an interesting mp3 from a band called the Evangelicals, who are based out of Norman, OK and are on the Austin-based label, Misra Records (Shearwater, Centromatic). It's sample-rific!

So is that sigh - lo? Because there is nothing "hard core" about that name. What is hard core about a sigh? Seriously. I highly doubt you will get beat up, but I must say I am disappointed that I will have to miss that show. It looks like a very interesting bill. Are you guys opening for *sigh* lo? Really, I don't get it. Are you supposed to sigh and then just say lo when you say that band's name, or pronounce it like silo? Anyway, have fun in Cleveland. Maybe this will expose RM to some new fifteen year old fans : )
