Barelas Bumper Pride

Published on December 31, 2007

Found this sticker at the Barelas Coffee House. Oh yeah….
The place has the best huevos rancheros.  Props to the place for showing some bumper pride.  I think I paid only four bucks for it.


Why are Musicians so Stupid?

Published on December 21, 2007

I posted an ad on Craig’s List, looking for a good, used classical guitar. 
Here’s the ad:
“I am looking for a good used classical/nylon stringed guitar. I’m not in the professional price range, so nothing in the $1,000 range…
… let me know what you have and how much you want for it. I am willing to […]


Ten Q’s with Jeremy Jojola

Published on December 18, 2007

Before asking Jeremy Jojola to contribute to this site, I already thought he was a pretty cool dude. Anyone who has the cojones to walk up to bootleggers, crooked real estate developers and gang members and ask them gut-wrenching questions on camera is a-ok in my book.

Farolitos versus Luminarias

As the classic duet goes:
“You like potato and I like potayto,
You like tomato and I like tomayto;
Potato, potayto, tomato, tomayto!
Let’s call the whole thing off!”

Let ‘em Eat Fruitcake!

Published on December 7, 2007

Everyone’s heard the joke about there being only one fruitcake in existence, which has just been passed back and forth as a Christmas gift.
I’ve been told many times that a real fruitcake is delicious, and bears little resemblance to the sweet, rubbery doorstop my parents used to receive in a gift tin when I was […]
