I've Made A Huge Mistake | Video Vlog

Goddammit. I love this.

Hi friends. Long time no blog, yeah?

Hope everyone's holiday was filled with lots of good food, merry moments, and maybe even some of those drunken moments your family will remember FOREVER and hold over your head for that same amount of time.
Like being 17 and drunk off of margaritas, then puking and trying to explain to your dad how it was TOTALLY food poisoning.
Something alone the lines of that.

OR something awesome like having all the men in the family [all over the age of 30, btw] having a huge nerf gun fight in the middle of my aunt's VERY decorative, fragile, house. It was awesome.

Everyone is gearing up for NYE. There's tons of shit to do, but most importantly it's to down a bottle of champagne, howl at the moon at midnight, face plant on kiss the sidewalk, AND DON'T DRIVE HOME!!!
TONS of options from cabs, buses, tipsy taxi, your mother [because you know she'll do it. lets just hope shes more sober than you are, yeah?]

Free week is coming up shortly and I'll be throwing out some awesome options for your ass to run to.
Holidays winding down, and live music is coming back, and LARGE for 2011.

I'm stuck at work [feel sorry for me] while everyone is off shopping and meandering in this retarded weather.
So I'm shoving fucking videos down your face. and you're gonna LIKE it.
Or not.
You know, depending on your personal taste.
WHATEVER, I'm going in.

Sailor Picks | Best of 2010

I can't believe 2010 is almost over.
Where did you go, player????

Actually, good fucking riddance. 2011, I'm ready for your fine ass.
Come get some.

Well, anyway, if you read my list last year, you know how I do shit.
My top ten may or may not be the greatest albums from this year, but it's my blog, therefore my fucking opinion.
And I give a giant middle finger to the number system. Because depending on the weather, the entire list could very well change. [not really, but you get it. yeah?]
I have also added more categories just so this end of year shit can be more of a pain in my ass.
YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!
Also, please hold all comments and arguments until I ASK YOU. Just kidding. Flame away, kids.

Top Ten albums of 2010

CeeLo Green: Is The LadyKiller

Dessa "Dixon's Girl" from Doomtree Records on Vimeo.

Tons of love for Murs, Aes, and Slug. Tribute to Rosie Perez was fantastic.

Video Vlog | Love Edition

Jolly Balls made of Snow

I'm definitely going to get some unwarranted readers for that headline.
But it's a page turner, yes???

It's that time of year. The fucking holidays are back. Ugly Sweaters, wasted nights off egg nog, HORSES DRESSED AS SANTA. I mean this shit is happening whether or not you want it to.
So why not join the fucking club and have a good time doing it, and doing it, and doing it well [llcoolj].

You know Texas will not be having a white Christmas, so get your jolly balls filled with some fake snow!

I've got your jolly ball right here!

10 Reasons you should attend The Jolly Ball Friday, December 17 at The Scoot Inn (TOMORROW):

10) Free Cookies!!! – Free stuff is proven to be 40% more awesome than non-free stuff, especially now, since you are all grown, with bills and stuff. Besides, the 12 year old inside of you is phening right now for something sweet. There will also be free KIND Bars in the house.

9) Snow Machine - nothing says Texas winter like FAKE snow! Imagine little flurries of magic falling over you, sans frostbite.

8) Sit on Bad Santa’s lap: When we say bad, we mean bad ass. Heard of Austin band stABBA? Its a metal band that performs ABBA covers. And ya, their lead singer Jon Chapman is going to be playing Santa at the Jolly Ball. I hope you like your Santa bearded, tattooed and lunch-meated.

7) Alison Narro will be running a holiday photo booth! “Hi, I’m Alison Narro, the funniest person in Austin and I take great pictures that end up in magazines, on billboards, and in all your memories" - anonymous source.

6) DJ Chorizo Funk will be cuttin up the ones and twos! Remember DJs that spin vinyl? We do too! ‘Digging in the crates’ is not a phrase used to describe the use of a certain social bookmarking website. Come find yourself on the dance floor.

5) The Southern Sirens (pictured above) will be performing a special holiday number: YOWZER alert. To the 10% of guys who watched Moulin Rouge with their girlfriend or that girl “friend” they were trying to date, imagine that dancing – BUT IN REAL LIFE. They will also be performing some special holiday dances. Fingers crossed for a Mean Girls talent show reenactment.

4) The Rocketboys will be performing all live holiday covers with special guest musicians all night: Imagine a world where Dolly Parton meets The Carpenters meets Bing Crosby meets Kenny Loggins meets Frank Sinatra meets Nat King Cole meets indie rock sensations The Rocketboys, who have been featured in Paste Magazine, played the Austin City Limits Music Festival, and will be performing your favorite holiday favorites live. Lyric powerpoints will be included for all of those who want to sing along.

3) All canned food items will be donated to the Capital Area Food Bank: help us meet our goal of collecting 500 cans for those in need!

2) It’s $7 when you bring 3 canned food items. That’s 9 quarters per performing act. Go creep between your couch cushions and we’ll see you Friday.

1) Insert ball joke here.

You can also follow the KR team on twitter for things you could see at the Jolly Ball

Bah Humbug and candy cane dreams.
Let's get drunk.

That Night | I Layed in Mister Heavenly's Lap

Mistery Heavenly | Austin, TX | Scoot Inn | 12.13.10

Ok, not really lap, but it would've been nice since it was SO FREAKING COLD!!!

Got to the Scoot to catch Austin's very own Fresh Millions open up.

They had song on the day [12.10.10] via NPR

Then Nick, Ryan, Joe, and Awkward Cera got on stage





WTF. TALL FUCKS IN THE BACK PLEASE!!!!

Afterwards, the band did stick around for the flooded fans to flock over them.
I met Michael. Meh. I have a thing about eye contact. He was not looking people in the eye and I'm not a fan of that. Granted, the situation I'm sure was annoying. I'm almost positive he has to force himself to act gracious. I get it. I'm just not interested.
Met Nick too, who did an amazing job, and he looked me in the eye.

All in all. I love the Scoot Inn and co because they are awesome. And I had a fantastic night with the #HTM and dancing the cold weather away.


Seriously. Where did it go? It's fucking 70 degrees in Austin right now.
Winter, MY ASS!

I ain't mad, though.
