ACL Fashion

Q: How do you know you have no friends or friends that don't really like you?

A: They let you walk out of the house looking like that.

Are you kidding me people? Please reevaluate your style decisions when attending a music festival in 95+ temperatures. This is not a time for you to be debuting your new fall line of calf skin boots, your latest prom attire, or the fact that you are a serious ballerina wanna be that displays her tutu any chance you get.

Gentlemen, keep your shorts on at all times please. There is no reason that I need to see that Ralph Lauren made the tighty whites that you are wearing. Thanks.

Other than that a little tips on proper attire, dress in comfortable shoes and like you are going to sit out in the desert for 3 days. If that means bathing suit tops and shorts, fine, just make sure you can make it work for you. Fellas, if that means no shirt, do your thing, just make sure that you don't mind a sun burn on your back that rivals the color of the tomato in my burger.

ACL Food

Hudson's on the Bend, I've heard of the restaurant, I've heard of how good the food is and I've heard of how $$$$ it costs. But this weekend at ACL I got to experience Hudson's on the Bend

for just $8 and it was amazing.

Check it, the line was at least 47 people long, I was number 48 in line because I had enough time to count all the people in front of me. And the entire time I was in line all I could think was... is the food worth it?

Answer: yes. I ordered the spicy chicken avocado cone drizzled in some kind of sauce with the best spicy coleslaw at the bottom of the cone that I had ever eaten. With some kind of pita bread serving as the cone it was by far the most portable meal choice at the festival. The chicken and avocado were fried golden perfection with poppy seeds crusted on the outside. The avocado was ripe and soft and tasted in season so it was perfect.

By far the best and one of the few meals that kept me coming back for more all weekend. Cross your fingers that they'll be there next year.

Kickin it old school

So VH1 just released there top 100 hip hop songs and Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" has topped the list. Now while it's a good track, I don't know if I would mark it as the best hip hop song.

First off, it really hasn't stood the test of time, rarely does it ever spin on the airwaves and ask the current generation of hip hop lovers if they've actually listened to fight the power and I think you'd be surprised at how many NO's you get.

Basically, it won for the political message that's attached to the song and I get that, good hip hop has always had a message. Whether that's to set the party off right or literally fight the power.

Rounding out the top three Sugar Hill Gang came in at 2 with "Rapper's Delight" and Dre's "Nothing but a G thang" was 3 on the list. Personally, I think Dre should have taken the top spot, but oh well.

Eagle Eyes

Straight off of dogging charges of DWI stemming from a car accident he was in during the same time as filming "Transformers 2"mid summer, Shia LaBeouf is hitting the big screen in the new movie "Eagle Eyes".

La Beouf plays Jerry Shaw a seemingly unremarkable guy that gets sucked into being part of political assassination by some women at the other end of the phone that knows his every move. Creepy! And you all think you're slick with your GPS, look what it can do to you.

Personally, I'd just plead duress in court and call it a day but when your government thinks that you're the terrorist, that might not work so well. So instead La Beouf teams up with single mom, Rachel Holloman, played by Michelle Monaghan and they team up to save their own lives.

I'm not as excited about seeing Eagle Eyes as I was for Disturbia but it's Shia and he's HOT so I'll see it either way.

red, white, and you blew it! part 4

"There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk -- that's one of the reasons I asked you to turn off the TV cameras -- it got drunk and now it's got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments." --George W. Bush, speaking at a private fundraiser, Houston, Texas, July 18, 2008

So that's what happened to Wall Street. I thought it was something more complex and economically linked to sub prime morgatges. But hey if all America needs to do to get the economy back on track is sober up wall street then we're saved. I know a great remedy for hangovers, works everytime. I wonder how much the governemnt would pay for it? humm...

Tough Break

Slow and steady wins today in sports. Nothing amazing happened. No one was majorly injured, no major upsets that I know of in the world of baseball or football. Boring, I'm yawning over here.

Some one better break something soon, a record, a leg, a losing streak, I really don't care but the sports world needs to get it together.
