Weekend in Okie-Land...

OK bitches… I am back!

Lets see… I left here Friday and headed for OKC. Got there around 5pm and headed to Keith and Nick’s place in Edmond. They have a nice house… I liked it. Then we headed over to Bricktown to the festival that Nick was playing in that night. Kris and I went to grab a bite while they set up. We met up with Nicole and Tim… and headed back to the festival. The show was full band… so Saxon was on drum and Ryan was playing bass. I hadn’t seen Ryan in forever. The show was really good. We hung around for a few more bands and then Me, Kris, Nicole and Tim headed to the bars. We hit up a couple and then met the guys back @ their place. It was a fun night.

Saturday we went and ate @ Coach’s … this place that Nicole works at… and then hung around all day. We watched the TiVo’d news show that Nick performed/ interviewed on Friday… did some running around and then went to have dinner @ The Flat Tire… and headed out to the festival again. It had been raining so they moved it inside Bricktown Live. Gooding played… which was a great set… and then a band called Shiny Toy Guns played. They are based outta LA. They were pretty cool.

After the show we hooked up with Gooding, Billy, and Jesse and went to IHOP. There were like 8 of us… it was a really good time.

Went back and crashed out. We got up Sunday and went to eat at this sandwich shop and then hit the road back to Lubbock.

Grant got home from Cali / Las Vegas around 5am Monday morning. I had only been asleep for an hour whenever he got home… Yesterday we did some running around and finished fixing up the apt.

My brother is coming this weekend…. So that should be fun.

Lubbock-Austin-Houston-Dallas-Lubbock

I am getting really bad at keeping up with this thing. Since I have updated last a lot has gone one…

The weekend of the 5th, Kris and I drove to Lubbock to knock some stuff outta the way dealing with the apartment and also celebrate Christy’s 21st birthday. We had a blast. We got to Lubbock and hung out with my old roommates and the girls and then got dressed and went to a few bars in the depot. Saturday we got a lot of stuff taken care of… and then went to the girls house to get ready for the party. The party bus arrived @ the house around 10:30 and we loaded up and went to CafĂ© J’s to pick up the girls. They had dinner there and Christy had no idea we all chipped in and got the bus. She was very surprised. It was awesome. We loaded on to the bus… which was decked out with leather seats, dancing poles, club lighting and a bumping sound system. We had the bus until about 2:30am. We hit up a couple of bars and partied our asses off. Sunday… headed back to Dallas for my LAST week of work.

My last week of work went well. I kinda miss it now. I miss working with my Pops. This past Friday Kris and I loaded up in the ‘maro and headed to Austin. We got a pretty cool hotel suite studio in downtown and met up with my friend Amanda for dinner and a little partying on 6th street. Saturday we headed to New Braunfels and floated the Guadalupe River all day long. We had a blast. That night we headed to Houston to hang out with a couple of my friends that I went to Spain with. Sunday we headed back to Dallas.

Monday my parents left for vacation and a bunch of people came over to the house to pre-party for Andrew’s 21st birthday. We drank at the house until 11:30 and headed to Duke’s in Addison. We had a blast that night. There were a lot of people there for a Monday night. Andrew got wasted and that is all I cared about. He said he had a really good time.

Tuesday morning we loaded up and headed to Lubbock to move in to the new apartment. Moving in took about 4 hours… I have WAAAYYY too much shit.

Since then we have just been chilling in the LBK with friends and hanging out. Tomorrow Kris and I leave for OKC to stay with Nick and Keith … and see Nicole and Tim. Nick is playing Friday night @ Bricktown Live… it is a 2 day festival. Gooding plays on Saturday. This should be one hell-of-a-weekend.

I’ll update when I get back!
