Polka Is The New Black, I Mean Polka Is The New...Fill In The Blank --Anyway, You Catch The Drift

Got you covered with polka, pre-packaged pop and Pan-African items!

Tonight catch Brave Combo at Poor David's Pub in Dallas, Texas. The doors blast open at 7:30 p.m. Not much notice, I know...but you never know! Brave combo is known as a polka band, but it may be worth a Dallas outing. Grab your brave combo.
They are from Denton, TX.

Katy Perry will be heading to the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX on October 2. She will appear magically and prismatically the next day at the same location. Both shows begin at 7:30 p.m.

The Pan-African Connection is your place for unique cards, significantly large jewelry, and a multitude of other items.

From the store

Head over to 828 Fourth Avenue in Dallas, TX, and you will also see sculptures and carvings, some of which is art, for sale.

You are not dreaming, and I did mention polka.
Have a restful weekend.

I Like Waiters Who Don't Talk Back, Cheerful Music News Is All Over The Blog, And Gary Shteyngart! Gary Shteyngart!

Good Afternoon

While at Chili's earlier, I decided to ask a waiter for some water, for my mom. (The waiter was in his mid- to late-30s).
The waiter I asked was not the "official" waiter for our table, but he seemed efficient, so I asked him for help with an additional glass of water. We wanted the water because my mom felt her current water had too much ice.
Said waiter stared at my mom's glass, then said, "She already has water."

I don't know about you, but I like my waiters best when they don't talk back!

Cheerful Music News, in case you didn't read the title:
I have liked the Dixie Chicks in the past: Dixie Chicks sometimes-member Martie Maguire was at Poor David's Pub in Dallas, Texas, recently, singing with someone else onstage.
This is not notable, except for 2 facts: Martie Maguire went to Greenhill School in Addison, Texas, and I wanted to mention the Dixie Chicks.
Martie Maguire is now in a side band called Court Yard Hounds. Honestly, when I listened to the song, "See You In The Spring,"--with a guest appearance by Jakob Dylan--on their web site, I couldn't wait for it to end.

I have been a large fan of The Strokes.
While the delectable band has had its irresistible moments as well as discouraging and sad ones, they have a new song out. It is "One Way Trigger." The previous link will take you to pitchfork, a music site, and you may listen to the song if you scroll down a bit to the Soundcloud audio. Yes, I have been a rabid fan for twelve years.
The End.

Thank you for reading the blog.
Yes, I do appreciate it.

The new Kesha album, at Wal Mart. Yay?
And, I meant Ke$ha.

I was in 1/2 Price Books recently, and I saw this book, Super Sad True Love Story, and I remembered that I heard the author, Gary Shteyngart (say it 10 times fast), being interviewed on the radio (NPR) once. It is also a really good book. The end.
