    P. F. Chang’s in McAllen, TX

    On July 01, 2008
    Categorias: Restaurants, Reviews

    Drive by P. F. Chang’s in McAllen on any given weekend, and you’re likely to see an hour long line every time.  Consequently, I expected the place to be pretty amazing, the way that a bulldog on a skateboard is pretty amazing.  Ya know, a little wow factor.  Otherwise, what the hell is everybody waiting for?

    But instead of wow, I got hmm… that was okMore →

      BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse in McAllen, TX

      On June 18, 2008
      Categorias: Restaurants, Reviews

      I really wanted to like BJ’s in McAllen since it’s right down the road from my house, and the line at P.F. Chang’s is goddamn ridiculous.  The restaurant itself is nice enough with all the charm of your typical contemporary corporate owned American restaurant.  Think Applebee’s with better interior design.

      The seating time was very reasonable, and the table service was good.  The food, however…sigh… More →

        Holidaze @ The Cypress – Pics Shamelessly Stolen from Energetik.org

        On December 20, 2007
        Categorias: Clubs, Events, Featured, Photos

         In keeping with my theme of doing less and less until I’m basically comatose, I didn’t even take a camera to Energetik.org’s Holidaze party at the Cypress.

        Instead of taking pictures all night, I opted to use my precious time for drinking beer and smoking cigarettes simultaneously, without the constant pressure of moving and doing stuff that didn’t include beer and cigarettes. That was so much easier. More →

          Monster Car Wash and Something Totally Different

          On November 01, 2007

          Halloween Party 10-26-2007Friday’s pre-Halloween party at Monster Car Wash was so good, I forgot to take pictures. Well, I took a few, but mostly I just hung out and talked to girls in sexy costumes. Apparently, “whore” and “slut” were popular choices this year, and I’d like to take a moment to say thank you, I am truly grateful. In fact, I think girls should wear stuff like that all the time, and not just in strip clubs. It should be a law.

          I also think they should serve pie and donuts in nightclubs, so clearly I’m an idiot.

            Electro wii Dance Party

            Yeah, I know this is like a week late, but I’ve been out of town since last Monday, plus I’m lazy. Also, I’m beginning to hate people so my motivation to do anything productive is waning.

            Call it disillusionment with humanity if you like, but it seems every time I leave the house, I come home wishing I’d strangled at least two or three of the people I’d met that day, with the expectation that it would actually make the world a better place.

            Perhaps my expectations are unrealistic. Perhaps I’m setting the bar too high. Maybe I’m just a dick. More →

              Yeah…I usually take more pictures, but in all fairness, I usually drink a lot less too.

              Shout outs to Drew (Energetik.org), Claudia (I want my cricket bat back), DJ Kyzer, DJ-OPTX, Courtney, DJ Radar, Diana (who’s afraid of pictures), and those two girls dancing together who may or may not have been strippers on their night off (I’m just saying).

                Yup. New pics. In other news, hell froze over, pigs can fly, and Anna Nicole rose from the dead. Nancy Grace is still a bitch though.

                    2006-11-17 NRG @ Yacht ClubIn case you’ve ever wondered how to get my attention, this is the answer right here. I really don’t remember where I was going with that comment because I keep staring at that picture and it totally screws with my train of thought.

                    Moving along, we’ve got fresh photos courtesy of the NRG Crew. New stuff from Voss, Yacht Club, and Mint. Shout outs to Ram for hooking us up.

                      You’ve gotta love Halloween. It’s the only day of the year that you can walk into a club carrying a chainsaw or a blunt edged weapon, so long as it goes with the costume. Next year I’m gonna duct tape a bunch of ice picks to a jumpsuit and say I’m a porcupine. More →
