Tonight, my band Drawback will officially rock the pants off of Scout Bar in Clear Lake, starting at 10pm!!!  Be there or be a big nasty square!

So my long-time band Sun Machine is releasing our first full-length album this Thursday at Rocbar.  YEAH!!!  I'm very tired right now so I'll elaborate more tomorrow.  For now, there's this...

Okay gang, so the writers' strike is finally over, WHOOHOO, we can finally stay at home and watch new episodes of our favorite TV shows!!! Oh wait, except not. Yeah they still have to write those shows... SO... there's still nothing to do on Friday night. Nothing, that is, except to come and see your favorite big dumb rock band DRAWBACK live at Fitz tomorrow night! Okay so maybe that was a stretch. Anyway check us out with our buddies Under the Green Friday, February 15 at Fitzgerald's for our semi-famous mostly-annual anti-Valentine show!

Let's ROCK OUT!

-Mark

So I decided to flip on the radio as I was driving around last night, and listened the entire Rockets game on the AM station; and frustrating as it was, I'm that much more appreciative that I didn't have to witness that choke job on live TV. The Rockets have a scheduled practice today at noon--you think they'll be practicing free throws? I can only hope. They honestly play like they don't realize people are watching them. How else do you justify only hitting 10% of your shots? They ought to be hiding their faces!

I love you, Rockets, but that kind of sloppy ball is straight up embarassing.
