I weekended to the utmost of my warlordly abilities

Jul 29, 2019, 8:46 AM

and achieved a success rate of eleventeen jizzillion percent.

Friday, took half day, went home and ate leftover tacos and drank a few ice cold Mexican lagers. Played with pups, since I was keeping Joonyer's dog. Took off around 5 to pick up Joonyer and drop off his pup, headed up to Charlotte to eat at Arepas Grill. The drive was amazingly easy given that it was Friday 5pm traffic, got to the restaurant and ate EXCELLENT arepas, split a couple of Carta Blanca 40s with Joonyer. Headed to the Neighborhood Theater to see American Aquarium and The Bottle Rockets. Get there a little after the doors open and there is BJ Barham working his merch booth, had a long conversation with him, then to the bar, then to our seats. Show was PHENOMENAL...Bottle Rockets did a backwards retrospective of their 26 year career, the only disappointment being not playing Welfare Music. American Aquarium came on and absolutely burned the place down.

Saturday, slept WAY late, finally got rolling with some coffee, long walk for the pup, then got cleaned up to head back to Charlotte for another epic day. Started out at Thirsty Nomad Brewing, I think we sampled everything they had before settling on a pint of the Cherry Craic Irish Ale. Their beer is good, but I'm not sure I had anything I'd call Earth-shattering. Then, off to the House of Purge Rage Room. Spent 25 minutes breaking bottles, plates, printers, TVs, computer monitors, and pounding on a car with an ax, a sledge hammer, and baseball bats. If you 're looking for something ridiculously fun to do in Charlotte, THIS IS IT. After, headed to Blue Blaze Brewing. Had several of their beers...IPA, Pale Ale, and Lager, all really good. They had a bunch of acoustic instruments hanging on the wall that anyone can pick up and play, so Sis' boyfriend and I proceeded to play and sing for about 2 hours. Drew a little crowd and the events manager came out and handed us a card and said if we're ever interested and coming back and playing to give her a call. They were having a neighborhood movie night that evening, and we got invited to stay and eat free BBQ sammich plates by the neighborhood association folks. We ate, visited, but didn't stay for the movie. Got home with a fairly serious buzz, walked the pup, and had to crash around 10.

Sunday, VERY slow morning. Pup got me earlier than I wanted but got her out, did a few house chores, went to the grocery store, put some Big Chair time in before heading to the Thirsty Beaver for John Howie Jr. and the Rosewood Bluff. I'd seen John in the Two Dollar Pistols years ago, and more recently as Sarah Shook's drummer, but this band was freaking EXCELLENT. They had Dave Hartman from Southern Culture on the Skids playing drums, and got to have a nice long chat with both him and John after the show. Honky Tonk music and cheap beer rotation (Schiltz, PBR, Hamm's and back around again) was the order of the day. Stopped at Cook Out once we got back to Rock Hill...my only misstep of the weekend. It was tasty enough, but the acid indiscretion at 4:30 am was not a welcome thing.

I already done tolt you people that I achieved a success rate of eleventeen jizzillion percent on my weekending.

Friday: reflux and old college roomie make it into town around 2pm; tool around for a bit, grab 18 lb. brisket out of dad's fridge, trimmed it up, got the smoker ready, and headed towards IOP. Doors open for Mingo at 6pm, but figure we have until 7:30 or so, so we get to Acme at 6:30 or so for some shrumps and gruts (they do them as well as anybody in Charleston not named Wentworth Mansion/Circa 1886, seriously). Walk over to WJ a half a block away at 7:15, and we hear Mingo playing Movin' On Up, which is typically their show-closer. Momentary panic, like, did they take the stage at 6 sharp and we missed the whole show? Hustle in, it did just start, and they played for at least 2.5 if not 3 hours. Edwin McCain came up to do a song with them. Hula hoop contest with lots of talent. 45 year old honey with spectacular hiney in front of us.

Met Ineligible, didn't see him kicking any children, and he randomly picked me out of a large crowd, so his doxing skillz are still honed to a razor's edge. Stopped by redneck bar on way home because frans felt like they needed to experience it, which cost us a trip to Food Lion next door for beer (the origninal reason for pulling into the parking lot in the first place) since we left redneck bar at 11:05. Brisket on around 11:30-12, stayed up til 4 drankin'.

Saturday: series of 90 minute naps netted me 3 or maybe 4 hours of sleep, brisket wrapped around 10am.

Was planning on taking brisket over to buddy's house that evening per some plans made the previous weekend. Texted buddy to figure out who all was coming, and he was like "what?" Him and his wife totally forgot about it, and she put the clamps on it pretty quickly. So we recalibrate, and 19She is fine with a bunch of dudes coming over to our house instead to crush brisket, so that's what happens. Cubed up some of the dryer burnt ends to throw in the baked beans--that's a gamechanger. No pics. Made a bechamel cheddar sauce to go on top of brisket on onion rolls for some legit beef n cheddars. No pics. Still erect.

Sunday: laid around. All. Day. Actually, I did go to the store first thing in the morning to get buttermilk so I could make biscuits. Then...All. Day.
