License to cable-tie

This is just ridiculous. Surely it’s a joke or a fuck-up, right?

What’s next? Will I need to have a liquor license in order to play bass in a funk band? A plumbing license in order to let people shit in your house at a party?

Kara will have to be an M.D. to continue reviewing restaurants, and an FCC license to review movies.

Really? AGAIN?

Soul Glow at the Men’s Club in Dallas again this Friday. 4ish to 7ish.

Yo, Vanilla!

In case you haven’t heard, Rob’s band is playing with Vanilla Ice tonight at Firewater.

Kick it one time, boyeee.

New Projector Hotness

I installed the new projector (Optoma HD71), and a real-ass ceiling mount yesterday. Ended up with fiberglass and sheetrock all over and in me. It was fun. Click the photo to see the process from the beginning, if you’re really that bored.

Optoma HD71

40oz in my lap (freezin’ my balls)

So, ummm. Watch this.

I was also wearing an EltonJohn.com shirt

I was walking into GameStop to see if they had any Mario Kart (of course they didn’t), and an old dude at the Boy Scouts of America Service Center next door stopped me.

Old Dude: “Sir, were you a Scout?”

Farris: “Yes, sir!”

OD: “Are you interested in becoming a Scoutmaster?”

Farris: “Sure. I’m a gay atheist, is that cool?”

OD: “Thank you for your time, sir.”

New party challenge!

The first person to fix out back door (or the foundation!) so that the wind doesn’t blow it open when unlocked gets to choose and accessorize the configuration of Johnny’s pants.

Party Update

In case you were still on the fence about coming to the party Saturday: JOCO KARAOKE! I finally decided to actually give Jonathan some money.

Weekend Stuff, If Ya Ain’t Busy

Friday night we’re doing YAGDSATMC (yet another god damn show at the Men’s Club) from ~4 to ~8. Still won’t have the full horn section, but it’ll be fun.

Saturday night is the party at our house. Since I’ll be “working” on my birthday for YAGDSATMC, we’ll call it my birthday party if you like. Don’t know if I’ll be doing the usual sushi or not. Depends how tired I am Saturday morning, and how clean the house is by then.

Last-minute Soul Glow show at Firewater tomorrow!

Listen up! My band, Soul Glow, is doing a last minute show at Firewater Bar & Grill tomorrow night, Friday. We go on at 8. I know lots of you have plans, but if you could tell are your friends, enemies, relatives and neighbors how awesome we are and get as many people to come as you can, we’ll have a much better chance of being asked back for a later slot.

Helping me out here has a direct effect on how well my family eats, and how well-stocked my future parties are. This is, like, my job. It may even be my day job, some day. Supposedly that can’t happen until the amount I earn from the band is greater than the amount I spend on it. Whatever. That’s economic hocus pocus.

Come see Soul Glow!
