Bandannas And Dollar Bills

Bliss & Drive teamed-up to demolish the crowd at Hooligan's.
A couple of other bands opened the show, but I didn't catch their names and the music was generic and forgettable.
Being loud and fast doesn't hold a candle to having real talent.

FuckFuckFuck Kerrville

It was an eventful night at the Guadalupe River Club.

Chrissy found some guy with BLISS tattooed on his arm:




Other stuff happened...like it was so crowded I could only get two beers all night.

I was feeling pretty good about all the work I've done on the band's trailer.
Dragging one around is new for me, and I didn't like it at first.
But with the new taillights and wiring, real safety chains, and a lock on the back door, it's less of a worry.
Even managed to back it into the loading area at GRC and then back into my garage a few minutes ago, and I'm a trailer-in-reverse virgin.

Unfortunately, on the way home (near Boerne) two deer came running out of nowhere and I hit them.
I'm still shaken up.
As if that's not bad enough, I was driving my future father-in-law's truck and it's fucked-up.
Is the band going to cover his insurance deductible?
(Yeah, right!)
Glad Steve was with me--it would have been even worse without someone to talk to.

So I'm in a shitty mood--and trying hard not to think about the poor deer I just thumped.

Shit...

Bliss Should Live At Hooligan's

We play there all the fucking time--might as well wall-off a section of the upper floor for a Bliss apartment.
I could fix their shitty sound system before lunch, then have all the lights working by showtime.
Of course I would have to disable my fixes for the other bands...

Despite the worry and heartache everyone in the band is suffering, we managed to pull a great show out of our drunken butts.



Florin's pretending not to notice Chrissy's tits at his feet.

You still awake, Peege?
Kicked ass tonight, my brother.
Thanks again for coming to our rescue.
How did you like the big boomey stage where you can't hear yourself?



My favorite part was when 'River Chase Rick' got ejected for hanging with undesireables.

Rebar--Where's Rikk?

Our bass player skipped town two steps ahead of fathers with shotguns, or so the story goes.
I felt vulnerable and scared without my boss and protector there with me.
Also felt over-worked. Dragging all our heavy shit from the trailer to the stage by myself is no fucking picnic.
I think I sprained my gozinta.

There was a long line of people waiting to get inside.
Utter pandemonium all night--best crowd ever!
Chrissy got a break because the audience was doing most of the singing.

Nice people--thanks for the beer.

Blew a circuit breaker tonight--it's been 6 months since that's happened.
Had the band up and running again in 2 minutes, and they picked up the same song where they left off.
Fucking power-sucking neon beer signs can bite my shiny metal ass.

Introducing Peege, our fill-in bassist until Rikk is able to return.
He also plays with Chrissy in the Undercovers.
A solid 4-stringer with nice tone who must have balls the size of church bells to learn all our songs and jump right in without a single rehearsal.
Buy this guy a drink next time you see him.
Saved our asses!

Fingers everywhere.
Even in the ladies room, judging by what I saw from the doorway.


Get well ASAP, Rikk.
I don't like doing this without you.
Chrissy's mean to me and Florin won't share.
Steve stole my cookie.

St. Patrick's Gay

Chased all the snakes out of Ireland?
Sounds like he was trying too hard--either to get some or to prove he wasn't.

Bliss and Prototype teamed up to demolish the green-beer-swilling masses on a Tuesday Night worth remembering.
If they can remember shit after tonight...

Green Foam Hat Fun




Prototype's singer is our guest for some Evanescence magic.






This was Year #2, Show #1 for me.
Looking back, Bliss has moved a long way towards dominance of the local scene.
Congratulations.

Too Cold To Rock?

As always there was a capacity crowd at Revolution room, but tonight they were 98% pussies.
I guess it's hard to scream when your teeth are chattering?

Rule #73: If it's cold and rainy, wear a fucking jacket.
Are ALL of your moms crackwhores?











Bliss delivered the goods of course.


I liked Chrissy's parting shot.
My sentiments exactly.

Y'all sucked.
