Vacation, Ryan Adams Concert, Great BBQ..

So I have been running ragged the past two weeks and it is starting to catch up to me.. I am just exhausted and cant seem to get any rest.. S0 let me tell you a lil about why. 3 weeks ago the lovely lil lady and myself took our first extensive road trip and vacation together. We went to this beautiful non-comercial lil slice of heaven known as Santa Rosa Beach Fl. Now I know folks always make fun and think thats the state you go to die, but let me tell you friend this is wear I want to live! This lil place is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.. Now granted this is also the first time I have been on a beach that was not Galveston! Oh and did I mentioned this is the first time I have ever been on vacation? Well it was and let me tell you sign me up for more of those! We got to stay there for about 3 days and 4 nights. Most of which was spent sitting on the beach or eating.. The trip home was a lil long seeing has we drove and 12 hrs in the car can be a lil rough and was already dreading work the next morning. Not that I dislike my job but its hard to beat sitting on a beautiful beach with a cold beer! So anyway got back to reality and in the swing of things then it was time to head to Houston for the Ryan Adams show. Now if you know me you know I am a bit obsessed with R.A and was pretty excited about going to this show but not so much excited about the drive. Its not a super long or bad drive by any means but the show was on a tue night and we had work te next day! So rolling in at 3 am and sleeping like 4 hrs just doesent work well for me anymore since I am reaching my twilight years.. All in all the show was ok.. Last years show at the same venue was far better but this one was ok. Gotta say not a big fan of the new single "Fix It" hoping there is some better stuff on the record!
So with all of that then the day to day and bachelor parties and what not I am beat! I hope the next few weeks I can take it easy and get back to my persuit of qualifying for the PGA tour. Oh and I almost forgot! I had some great BBQ for lunch today.. The place is call Chief's BBQ its is located in South Austin on S.1st and Dittmar. Its a lil hole in the wall but I had a great chopped beef and sausage sandwich! Really good! Check it out for yourself! Well until next time.. Music Janitor -Out!

Paul Newman R.I.P

Just wanted to take a second to remeber Paul Newman and all the great things he brought us.. Like Newmans Own Salad dressing... Do the right thing people go get a bottle and some baby field greens and lets remeber the man!

Rolling Stone Magazine

When I first started this lil project of blogging I never really intended it to be one big bitch session like it has turned out. Oh well though it is what it is and its much cheaper than therapy! Now on to what I want to bitch about. Has anyone seen a copy of Rolling Stone latley? I just dont get when this thing got so politcal? I mean I guess it could have always been but I just dont remember. I just know I would prefer a magazine known for music to well you know write about music! Thats all for now folks...

Music Bussiness+ Ethics ='s Vinegar and Water

I dont even no how to start this I am so pissed.. I try to do a very good job of leaving things and people that I write about anonymous in this case however I can't. So lets go back to a few weeks ago when I get a phone call on a Wed afternoon from The House Of Blue Lights (in Marble Falls Tx) concerning a show that I had booked for one of my artists that coming Sat.. The Phone call bacically was to tell me they didnt have the money to pay the artist so they wanted to cancel the show....!!! What? I resond with "well the show is in 3 days" They tell me sorry they cant do it. Well as you can imagine I am not real happy but thats the world i live in.. So lets fast forward to today. I get a email from the artist that was supposed to play this date. The email informs that some of his fans went out to THE HOUSE OF BLUE LIGHTS to see his show. They get there and ask the venue people when said artist goes on and the venue tells them "well he wanted to much money. So we got this band to play for less..) Really??? I mean come on. Just tell the damn truth! In my opinion that is crap! Don't agree on something and then decide 3 days out oh lets save some money and get this other band.. To me thats just bad bussiness. Granted me using this venues name is pretty crappy I just dont want this to happen to anyone else. I am not trying to jusify my actions in by any means but something had to be said! As of today I cancelled eveything i had booked there and told them there would be no need to contact me about any of the artist's I represent. I wish the venue the best of luck and hope they treat others better than they did myself and my artist.. Music Janitor is out!

New job update, Global Warming, New Lunch hot spots!!

So as many of you know I started a new job about a month or so ago and have not really wrote anything about how its going so here we go.. First off I am still there. So thats a good thing. Things have been really good and I am still enjoying getting up and going to the office everyday. Now that I have finally gotten settled in I am starting to look at new acts to add to my plate. This is good cause I am really looking forward to being really busy and stressed out again. With things being good at work it has made my home life tons better as well. Meaning I am not a cranky bitch anymore (well mostly). Anyway if anyone knows of any good acts looking for representation let me know.. So on to the next order of business..... GLOBAL WARMING... I used to think this was bullshit but have recently started to buy into this hippie voodo which is a major step coming from a guy who's motto is "The earth can take it".. I mean that can be the only exclamation for how freaking hot it is! I am not sure if my new found outlook on the situation will change the way I do things or not it will prob just mean my electic bill will get hotter cause I am running my a.c. non-stop and will be living in my frezzer. However I did start car pooling with my lovly lady friend this week mostly cause my car is broken and I work in the music bussiness so lets be honest I cant afford to get it fixed nor do I have the knowledge to fix it.
Lastly if anyone has any good lunch suggestions please throw them my way. I am getting tired of thundercloud and Which Wich ever day..

US Open, Tiger Woods, Robots from the future

So I am not sure if any of my two readers are fans of the game of golf or not but I dont really care.. What the HELL is up with Tiger Woods??! I mean is this guy a freaking robot sent from the future and space to single handedly destroy the game of golf?? I mean this freaking guy just game off a month and a half of not playing because of knee surgery to winning his 14th major that just so happend to be the 2008 U.S. Open! I cant fathom it.. Anyway thats all I got sorry if I bored you.. I will write something cool and life changing later.. Until then those of you reading this that play golf go sell your clubs and quit. Cause you will never beat Tiger!

Ears, The Dr, Q-tips are Satan!!

So for the past 3 or so days my right ear as been stopped up. So annoying! You all know the feeling like your ear needs to pop of has water in it.. So for three days I have tried everything to get my ear to un-stopped I mean everything.. I started with the ole hold you breathe and blow trick. Didnt work! I finally ended with going to the Dr. and finding out I had enough wax built up and impacted in my ear too sculpt the Lincoln Memorial to scale!!! Gross I know! So the solution was to take a huge friggen syringe filled with warm water and shoot it into my ear untill all this wax was flushed out.. This took six trys! I asked the nurse how many times it normally takes and she informed me that two nomally does the trick.. OOPs! Needless to say there was a ton of wax in this lil bowl I was holding under my ear.. When it was finally all said and done my ear felt amazing!!! I can only imgine that if the ear could have sex this is what it would feel like when it where through.. So after the Dr, came back in he told me to lay off the q-tips and use a wax removal treatment every few months.. I has no idea that q-tips where such the devil. I really enjoyed using them after every shower of if my ear itched or just for fun. This sadens me to say but Q-tips... We are breaking up!
