The boy King- KING TUT

The last time this exhibit was in Chicago was 1975 or so. So, now that I'm a few years older I decided it was about time to see King TUT.

As I was walking through and looking at the 5,000 + year old aritfacts - Steve Martin's "King Tut" was constantly going through my head. The exhibit itself was amazing with many jeweled ankh's, masks, and even actual mummies.

I started thinking that being "mummified" isn't so bad. You get to be buried with many of your favorite things to assist in the afterlife. I guess my tomb would include: my running shoes, my Ipod, my Chi flat iron and possibly ...a...er...a vibrator. What would you all choose to bring to the afterlife?

The SWAN Dive....

So there I was on the Southside of Chicago hoping that the World Champion White Sox would beat the Texas ST(rangers). How wrong I was....

Myself, Mudsucker, Too Loose, Are They Real and many other CH3ers were heartbroken when are White Sox lost to the St(R)angers 5-2. At least the fireworks were good afterwards...

Can anyone say swan-dive? Now the Yankes are only 1 game back of the Sox for the wild card and Minnesota is only 2 1/2 games behind the Sox. Gasp!

Chicago And Censorship Part 2

I'm going to Chicago again tomorrow. City of "parental and university censorship" for blogs....well really just "blog"(aka mine). I will update when I can. I know that I am going to Mudsucker's (for those that know him I'll give him a shout-out for ya) party and watch the White Sox destroy the Texas Rangers on Saturday night. Wooohooo

Can you say repeat World Series champions? I know it might be early to make predictions but I feel kinda optimistic. Anyone out there have any other team ???

Invasion of the Dallacites and NAMM....

Austin is the music capitol of Texas...maybe even the United States...
So, to no surprise that the Summer NAMM Session was held here at the Austin Convention Center.
Some of the Dallas party crew came down to partake in NAMM, drink, eat and drink some more.
After starting the festivities at Houlihan's at 1:30 p.m. we proceeded to drink many Michaelada's, beers, martini's etc.
Then it was off to NAMM to see the Playmate of the Year -Kara Monaco.....

Can anyone say airbrushed? Geez...not a real thing on that women's body. Made me think though..does the world need Playboy Playmates to help promote music? Can you still have music without the hottie? Opinions....

Just curious out there what is the most embarrasing album/CD/tape you ever bought.....

Censorship-PG, R or X?

So there I was "blogsurfing" on my Dad's laptop, thinking nothing about anyone's blog's or surfing.

Fast forward about 2 hours later. Conversation starts out like this:

Dad: Do you have a blog?
Me: Um, yes, why?
Dad: Well, I just saw it (butt pics etc.) and Northwestern University monitors that computer , websites and all.
Me: Oh, crap now not only can my Dad see my blog but so can Northwestern University.
Dad: Well, its not totally "X" rated, I'd give it an NC-17 and points for creativity.

At least my Dad has a good sense of humour....

Top Ten From The White Sox/Cubs Game...




10. Best Shirts seen Cubs: "Who says the Cubs can't Hit?" (Cubs catcher Micheal
Barrett punching White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski) Sox : "Sox in the City"

9. Best baseball paraphanelia : White Sox mini-dress (I have to get one!)

8. Murphy's Bleachers across from the bleachers at Sheffield/Waveland-who can say
more? Woth vodka lemonades to die for and a scene that is straight out of a
"human petting zoo."

7. The Stadium Club- an air-conditioned retreat for those fortunate enough to make
the V.I.P. list (also where I got to see Les Bleus (France) defeat Brazil -who'd
of ever thunk?)

6. Brats and beer, more beer and brats..who says you can't get good food at Wrigley
Field???

5. Autograph time before the game (we got there late so I missed it...) My Paul
Konerko bobblehead once again is autograph-less, however the child sitting next to me got a souvenir ball thrown to him from White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski.

4. The game is NEVER over until the "fat pitcher (aka Bobby Jenks) pitches

3. The best relievers in the game otherwise known as the Cubs cleaning crew after A
J. Pierzynksi hit a 3 run homer in the top of the 9th with 2 outs to win the
game (8-6) for the White Sox. Cubs fans were so po'ed they started throwing
garbage on the field.

2. Having 1st row seats next to the White Sox dugout and getting a Gatorade from Ozzie Guillen (White Sox Manager...)also being able to hear him curse at will....

#1 . Missing being on the front page of the Chicago Tribune Sunday Sport Section by
3 seats.....
