Happy Labrador Day...(I mean labor day)


For everyone who works hard I wish you a happy Labor Day. For the rest of you slackers...GET A JOB!

This weekend marks my beautiful wife's birthday and we have been celebrating it all weekend long. Being of Irish decent (yes I'm Irish by marriage) we started the festivities at a new local pub Sean-Patricks for dinner and live music. The dinner part didn't go very well. The food that we had was ok but expensive for the quality. A friend of ours declined to accompany us, in part, because he has had two bad experiences with service at Sean-Patricks. If you go to the Pub, go for the drinks and live music but, skip the food.

The performers that night are pictured above. They were great. I really liked Campbell and Wison's stage presence and their performance was superb. Here is a link to their web page for those who might like to catch a performance.

We followed Fridays festivities with a small gathering of friends at Cheatham Street Warehouse on Sunday to have food and cake for my beloved. The evenings entertainment was provided by The Patio Boys formerly the Grant Mazak Band. While there is a small cover charge at the door this band is worth the cost. They perform the first Sunday of every month at Cheatham Street.

Since, I am writing about local live music venues, I should mention that a couple of weeks ago we went to Lucky Cup Coffee House in Kyle Texas to listen to some live music. It was a really great experience listening to live music under a star filled sky in the beautiful Texas hill country. I will post the next time they have a live show.

Yeah, I could've blogged about the Republican Sex scandals, the war in Iraq, or the upcoming city council race in San Marcos and other local goings on; but every now and again you've got to enjoy life.
