The Sunday that Sleeps

I have been in bed and on the couch all day. I did clean, My kitchen is somewhat in order, along with my dirty clothes in my laundry. I have not been feeling up to doing anything.

Last night we went to Rocking Rodeo, Saturdays are free before 10p, with $1 single wells and $1.50 domestic longnecks. Country dancing is always fun, love to get around the dance floor.

After that we left to go to Crossroads where karaoke was happening and people tend to loose their inhibitions and get up to sing. Now I enjoy this, there is one guy normally there that does "New York, New York" and just has fun with it, I love seeing that someone can understand the true essence of karaoke and have fun no matter what. To those people that think you have to have this rock star voice, if you just have fun and entertain a crowd, it works much better. There are some that are good, there are some that are entertaining, but if you go to the right one, no one should criticize you for having fun.

Now also I did get out tonight and get all dressed up for my cousin's wedding. And just to put a little love in here, to Mark and Amelia, you both looked great and hope that all your dreams become reality together. Mark, thank you for always being a great friend and cousin. Amelia, welcome to the family, I hope you don't think my whole family is weird like I am, most of them are normal. And to the both of you, update your Facebook, you are married now.

Anyways, they decided to use the Wildwood Inn here in Denton, the place has a great feel to it, quaint, lovely, great service by the staff. You can have brunch there on Sunday if you are looking for something different and want a good meal, dress nice though, it is a little more upscale than most of the places I review. I am looking to go sometime just to have a different experience there.

So my weekend started with a good note and ended with good times with family, a man can't ask for much more.

And on that note, remember to tip your waitstaff and bartenders, they are working and sweating for you, so show some love.

Like a Rhinestone Cowboy

Well people, tonight was an interesting night, decided to go with my co conspirator to see how a place outside of Denton could stand up to our style of party. Well, that did not go well. We started at Denim and Diamonds, a country bar in Addison, well, let me say, the atmosphere was not as what I had hoped and the drink specials were the same. I was hoping that there would be at least a small drink special there to promote an opening month, this was the disappointment. The atmosphere was somewhat of city trying to be country, it was frightening, girls with boots but not knowing what to do in them it seemed. There were some dancers for the country but most of the dancers were there when the club music came on. I did not enjoy this experience, everyone seemed as if they were trying hard to be country, you know those people. I felt like I was walking into a strip club with a dance floor, it was uncomfortable for those of you who are not the city dwellers that need to be out to be seen. A cheers was overheard saying "Cheers to not this bar." This was the perfect statement about this place.

The night progressed to Rockin' Rodeo, this is the place I have come to love, country girls having a good time and wanting to dance, to everything. I am not saying that club style music is bad, just that if you are a country bar, people should go to dance to country. Denim and Diamonds could take some advice from Rockin' Rodeo with the atmosphere, specials, and good time had by all. Not just girls sitting around needing to be seen and wearing the bedazzled belt buckle, come on ladies. 

Overall, once again, Denton has proven that they have a party and have fun when we can. Still going to always support my local charities, my bartenders and servers here in Denton. Thank you Rockin for a great night and a fun time had by all. 

And as always, remember to contribute to your favorite charity, your local bartenders and servers and tip, this is what they work for and what you should expect to do.

The Weekend

School is starting up and Denton has doubled in population. I will now have trouble finding a seat, getting a beer and finding space on the dance floor. But enough of my issues, this weekend I did a few things, Saturday night me and a friend went to Rockin' Rodeo and Electric Cowboy, great place if you want to go out and get your cowboy boots out and scoot around the dance floor. If you are looking for some fun and a good time, both are great, Rockin' Rodeo is good for the live music, I know Johnny Cooper is coming on Sept. 15th, so go and see him, one of my favorite up and coming Texas music artists.

Also, went to Chuy's, one of the new restaurant additions in Denton, wow, now that is a place to go, love the bright decor, salsa and chip bar, the food; which I only had an appetizer, is one of the best tex-mex places in town. I still have yet to have a main course there, but if the appetizers are the intro to the meal, I am wanting to see the main event.


I know it has been a while since I posted, so, I would like to encourage everyone to have fun, get out there, and your servers and bartenders are working hard for you, they work for your tips, so, always tip.
