There's Gonna Be a Showdown.
There's nothing that grinds our gears more than hearing somebody in North Texas complain about being bored or griping that nothing good is going on. If you're really intent on killing some time, might we suggest spending six weeks rolling a giant testicle from coast to coast to raise cancer awareness?
You're not really that hard up are you? There's really no reason you should be, anyway, especially given how many killer events are going down around town this week. — Cory Graves
