| That's right, it's a 4 on 4 Birthday party this year!
This baby is out of the walker, and ready to hit her stride!
It's been 4 years since the great folks Rob and Amy of Independence Brewing Company started their dream, and provided the answer to many of ours. Good, quality, crafted beer!
As has become tradition, they want to say thank you to every one who has enjoyed some pints or picked up some 6-packs of Independence beers and hope you can join them for this special celebration.
Wow, only a year since the last great anniversary party. A blink of the eye, and another one has gone by! Now, it's Number 4!
Saturday October 4th, 2008, from 5:00PM to 9:00 PM.
With live music, and the choicest Independence beers on tap. Celebrating the Fourth anniversary South Austin style!

| Ok, so don't know if any the rest of you have watched this yet, but after having just finished watching the 2nd episode of Fringe, have to say, I think they've got me.
It's an interesting cast. Not exactly 100% sure how I feel about all of them yet. Then again, it is only 2 episodes in, so perhaps some are still flushing out their characters. Both episodes were very well written, and massive kudos to the director of photography. One thing I am interested in though, is the character of the Dr. is by far my favorite, and according to IMBD, he's only in 4 episodes.
This show definitely has a X-Files feel to it. Quirky, weird stuff. Quirky, weird characters. Pseudo Science mixed with tinges of real science... and of course... CONSPIRACIES!!! This show might just be the shot in the arm that FOX and broadcast TV in general, so desperately needs. If you haven't see it yet, you really should check it out. I would highly suggest watching the 2 previous episodes. This is one of those shows, much like Lost, that it really helps to get the entire story line, and not try and pick it up on in. FYI, starting this season, IMDB, now has partnered with hulu.com to bring episodes of many newly aired shows right after they make their broadcast airing. You can go here for Fringe.
Chris Carter should take some notes... Since he's obviously forgotten how to write good para-normal science fiction. Maybe next X-File movies, Carter can just consult, and let Abrams take over. I get a very strong sense that he could make a MUCH better X-Files these days than Chris Carter can. | | |
| On the way to Houston, occasionally, one has to stop and answer nature's call. At this little store in Brenham,
I found this jewel:
Had it been anyone else other than Eddie Money, I might have been skeptical.
Now, while Mr. Money had long made his exit from this fine establishment and I could not get his side of the story, considering what a HUGE ass-bag he is however, actually seems quite fitting. (and I know this because I had the EXTREME displeasure of having met and worked a show he was part of before). I haven't met what I would consider a LOT of celebrities, but I've met more than a couple, and probably more than the average person, even living here in Austin, including the President Daddy, Bush Sr. Out of all the people I met, or even remotely worked with in any manner, Eddie Money was the absolute, across the board, biggest asshole of them all. And really does not have the reason to be that much of one either. No one really does, but he does not have the "star power" (even then) to be that big of a creep. Conversely Faye Dunaway, a much bigger actress, and even has a reputation for being "difficult" on the set at times, was to the crew, one of the nicest people I've ever met. Of course Willie, being THE nicest. Then again, Eddie Money WAS a cop before he became a singer.
Repressed homosexuality and (ex-)cops... is there anything more cliche? | | |
