Flapjacks and hot coffee every morning, working hard with saws and hatchets and hammers and spray paint and other man toys is topped only by the evenings. Explorations and drinkings and bonfires.

I'm doing just fine up here.



Buck's having a good time too:



Later, ya'll.

I need an excellent webdesigner to design my new blog template for my soon to launch domain/blog.

Anyone out there really good?

Word is a gunman was in the food court at University Mall on McFarland Blvd here in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

This is coming from a mall employee locked in the back of her store.

Watch for Finnish-Love-Metal band HIM to get a boost in sales after their Heartagram logo and name appeared on the hoodie belonging to Robert Hawkins, the Omaha mall shooter. This is what he wore over his Jack Daniels shirt.

If you were the type of person to profile potential shooters based on taste in whiskeys and their collection of band apparel from over the years I'd hate for you to look in my liqour cabinet and old clothes boxes at my parents place.

How weird is that, I hadn't thought of HIM in a couple of years.

When Old Crow Medicine Show takes the stage at Jupiter Bar & Grill tonight at 9, it will be a homecoming of sorts. The band has sung about Eutaw in their music, and went as far as to name their 2001 album "Eutaw."

The truth is that the Nashville-based alt-country/bluegrass act formed in Ithaca, N.Y., in the late '90s. Despite Old Crow's Yankee roots, they've managed to become a critically acclaimed alt-country act. OCMS's self-titled album was selected by Country Music Television as one of the top-10 bluegrass albums of 2004.

OCMS's traditional style is complemented with a rock 'n' roll attitude that has lead to popularity among bluegrass and folk music circles, as well as indie and modern-alternative music fans.

The far-reaching popularity of OCMS can be attributed to a strict adherence to an old-time sound mixed with edgy lyrics. The jug band has a repertoire of songs with titles like "Boll Weevil," "Wagon Wheel" and "Cocaine Habit."

OCMS has opened for Dolly Parton at the Grand Ole Opry, toured with Merle Haggard and appeared on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien."

OCMS's stop in Tuscaloosa comes in the midst of relentless touring in support of their 2006 album, "Big Iron World." The tour has taken OCMS across the country, and has featured stops at festivals including Bonnaroo, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and the New Orleans Jazz Festival.

Tickets are $20 and are available at the Jupiter or online at www.jupiteronthestrip.com.

I think about you.

My phone was stolen. I bought a new phone. It has the same number as my old phone.

But it doesn't have *YOUR* number in it just yet, so why don't I screen these comments and you can leave me your phone number!

I'm currently taking MC101 at the U of A. My professor is Wes Fondren and he's been one of the most effective professors I've ran across at 'Bama. One of the more interesting things we've discussed in class is discerning between Propaganda and PR. It's got a lot of grey area but I've certainly become a more keen judge of these things now.

That's 5 points for Kate Houston right there.
