grand happenings
So, this weekend brandy came down to dallas to see me. (I have only 2 weeks left, FYI!!)
A small recap of the weekend...
friday we went to the elbow room (my fav bar) had some drinks and food. Then we went to the knox street pub, a somewhat strange little place next to a apple store. Then we went to a midnight showing of clockwork orange at Inwood (a restored historic theater)...and we had a beer while watching the movie. that was awesome!
saturday we got up a little late and went to the dallas world aquarium. it was pretty darn cool! all kinds of fun areas like rainforest and a mayan area, etc. My fav's were the sloth...who was just hanging out in the foliage around the concession stand...yeah, not really in an exhibit. You could easily have touched him. the even bent over and came near touching of the guys standing around. We saw the penguins get fed and other fun fun things! then we went to an art festival. We went to the asian art museum and a walked around a little. that was pretty darn cool!

Finally saturday night, we went to Billy Bob's ... the largest country bar in the country. hmmm, it was not my 'cup of tea'. the people were pretty evil and let me tell you...it took FOREVER to find the place. Everyone kept saying it's go 28 to main. well, there was NO SIGN saying main street. When we finally found it, we went back to see...nope, no sign ANYWHERE. Well, then...inside this bar there are arcade games, pinball machines (which, i admit is pretty cool), even carnival type games where you can win prizes. now, if some of this sounds little "kiddy" to you...that's probably because they let kids in. Yes, at 2 am, a drunk mother was slow dancing with her approximately 12 year old son out on the dance floor. NO KIDDING! I have a fuzzy photo to prove it! There was also a BBQ restaurant complete with LARGE carvings of hillbillies. There was even a LARGE dodge truck inside the bar.

Here's the fun part though. Outside of the women's restroom, there was an area in which they had a (now dead) stuffed real bull for you to get your picture made on. And, oh yeah, we did! Brandy and Jeremy on the bull in Billy Bob's in Fort Worth , TX. My life in Texas is now complete, I can come back to civilization a happy man!
today (sunday) we went to the dallas museum of art, the taco diner and called it a weekend. it was fab!
