Pecan Street Festival

Went to the Pecan Street Festival on Saturday. Mainly went to see some free, live music. But it's also fun to check out some of the items being sold and always important to eat a corndog! When I arrived, Bonesucker and her kids were in line to do some bungee trampoline thing. Anal Fission and Trojan were watching and I joined them because no way in hell was I doing that! Plus you had to wait in line forever and I was in need of a corndog and beer. :) Smeets was out taking pics for the A-list as well and got some cool shots.

The worker helped launch Bonesucker up even higher...

We wandered around a bit and then ended up at the Chuggin Monkey so we could use the restroom. Then Pornarotti, Two Drinks Away From My Sister and Padre joined us. After a quick beer it was time to head back out to the festival. Two Drinks and I shared some BBQ nachos. Holy hell, those things were AWESOME!!!!! Pretty much looked like movie nachos with a big pile of chopped BBQ on top. Fucking delicious.

Then, I stopped in a booth to check out some stuff and lost everyone. Ran into some non-hasher friends of mine, Beth and Robyn and C-Lo (not the BFC C-Lo), so I wandered with them. And then I ran into FU Knave and his wife Jennifer.

By now it was time for one of the bands I wanted to see to play, so I slowly headed through the crowd. (Well, I missed Peel earlier since they played really early. ) Luckily, Nelo started late because it took forever to get to the Main Stage. I'm am a new fan of Nelo! I bought their CD on the spot as soon as their set was over. Go check out their web site. :)

Nelo had some young groupies.

Padre was there for Nelo and I think K-Dub and Squeezin made it for the next band, The Lemurs. I had heard Andy Langer's praise (you know, he used to host 101X's The Next Big Thing for the past 10-12 years and he still comes in every Thursday for live music updates) about this band numerous times, so I was excited to finally see them. They rocked. Well, I liked them. Read Squeezin's write-up here. I don't think he was as impressed.

We then needed another bathroom break and decided to try out some new bar by Mug Shots (since they weren't open yet). It was called Black & Tan. Squeezin, K-Dub and I did shots. Mine was Jager....not sure what theirs was. The bartender even did a Jager shot with us. I tried to get a quick overhead shot of all 4 of us cheers-ing our shots, but I barely got the bartender in only. Oh well!

Then FINALLY, Grupo Fantasma took the stage. Woot woot! Their music is fun and makes you want to move your hips...even if you have no rhythm like me. Ok, so their songs sound similar. Who cares? They were FUN!

Thanks to Padre for dropping me off at home after the festival and picking me up on Sunday so I could get my car and get to the hash! Oh, and Taco Cabana for dinner was awesome. But when isn't it?! Yes, I'm obsessed with TC. I admit it. That is one fast food I will NEVER give up!
