Last night, The Humiliators played at Room 710... before the show, Todd and I played a game of Galaga (only the most awesome video game ever); Todd kicked my ass.
This wouldn't be so bad, except I have Galaga at home and he doesn't... hmm. So when, after the show was over and the gear was loaded in the truck, Todd suggested we go for another game, I thought "cool, I'll smoke his ass this time!" and so we headed for the machine.
After the dude occupying the machine was finished, we dropped quarters and started the game... and, in a blinding display of double pwnage, he kicked my ass. Again. My only (feeble) excuse is that I'd had a few beers and 2 rounds of Jack OTR*... damn. Guess it's time to go into training mode - after work I'm gonna pick up a bottle of Jack and fire up the Galaga machine; I'm not stopping till I can hit 200k, or I can't stand up, whichever comes first... victory will be mine!

Of Bikes, Beer and Rock
I think it's safe to say that I am hooked on bicycling - in the seven weeks since I started riding regularly, I have come to look forward to every ride, whether it is around the neighborhood or out on the trails... it doesn't seem like there was ever a time when I didn't ride, and it is difficult to imagine not riding. This week's mileage was 18 miles over three days; Chris rode to my house and we did an urban run through downtown Round Rock on Friday; on Saturday, I rode to his place to start the next batch of beer brewing, then on Sunday we went to a Beginner Ride at Walnut Creek Park with the Austin Ridge Riders Mountain Bike Club that logged about 4 miles. I have pretty much decided that if the destination is close enough and I don't need to haul anything that won't fit in a pack, I am going to ride my bike - not only because of the health/financial/environmental benefits, but it's pretty damn fun!
Saturday Nights are for Rock
The Humiliators played at The Troubador Saloon on Saturday night - our brothers-in-rock, SuperCrash played an hour before us next door at The Dirty Dog, so we got to see the first part of their show before we had to go onstage... those guys were on fire! Jamie and Jim were all over the place, and Steve was thunderous on drums - you really need to go see these guys if you haven't yet! We had a great crowd for our show - thanks to all our loyal fans, plus the guys from SuperCrash and The Whoremoans for coming out and supporting us! We couldn't do it without you!
Sunday Mornings come far too early
So, after I made it back from the gig (around 0130) I was totally beat... I left it all onstage, and it was freakin' hot up there! I crashed until 0700... when the alarm rudely reminded me that I had to be ready for Chris to pick me up at 0830 for the ride at Walnut Creek... I was ready, if a bit grumpy, when I saw the Jeep turn onto my street. Once I'd had a chance to wake up a bit, I was okay, but I'm not 20 anymore, so it's harder for me to burn the candle at both ends - not that I'm going to stop trying, mind you - they can make me have birthdays, but they'll never make me grow up! The ride was really fun and I learned some things about riding trails (which is the whole point), and by the time we got back to the parking lot, I was ready for some chow! This week we headed to Moe's Southwest Grill for burritos, then after a couple of stops it was back to the house... where, after unloading gear and grabbing a shower, it was time to crash out on the sofa for a while!
Coming Attractions
The Humiliators will be at Room 710 on Wednesday, 13 Jun 07 at 9.30p - come out and get rid of the humpday blues! I'll be in Houston this weekend to catch the Mariners @ Astros; it will be the first time I have been to an MLB game... it should be fun!
