I promised I would update...

So here goes! I have had a shit ton of stuff going on over the past few weeks. I will do my best to catch you all up. First - The Mustang is doing just fine (and for some odd reason, I don't really miss the Harley). Is that weird?

This past Friday I had the chance to see Jimmy "JJ" Walker at Fat Fish Blue - Home of The FunnyBone at Levis Commons in Perrysburg.
What a great place! The place is all new and nice and the food is great! Plus - NO SMOKING! Gotta love that. So I made a phone call and Ebay Chad and I scored free tickets from the promoter. The show was pretty much sold out and the guy was super cool and he hooked us up with FRONT ROW seats for the Friday night show. How cool is that? So I picked Chad up at his ghetto apartment and we headed there. They sat us with this older married couple from Toledo. They were cool. We ordered food and the owner of the place came over and told us that he was going to take care of the bill. SCORE! I told him he didn't have to, but he insisted. Who am I to argue. Show starts and it turns out the MC for the night is Corey (one of 700 million people on the Andrew Z morning show). He was good, but I still found it difficult to like him because you knew come Monday morning he would be back at the Clear Channel Gestapo sucking on the tit of Andrew Z telling him how funny he was.
Ughh. Anyways...the second guy was a complete hack. His name was Todd something. He kinda was rocking the mullet and he had old school Reebok's on.

The kind that you thought were cool when you were like 13! Back in 1985. He looked like he had just watched an entire weekend of Full House and was paying homage to the wardrobe styling of "Danny Tanner"!
So enter Jimmy "JJ" Walker! He did about 45 mins and for the most part it was funny. Not $14/ticket, but since I got the tickets for free...it was worth it! After the show Chad and I stuck around and we got to meet him.

He took the time to sign an autograph but wouldn't say "DYNO MITE!". The entire night he didn't say it. I mean cmon! That phrase right there is the real reason why 95% of the people at the place were there! Wouldn't do it. Oh well.

I also had the chance to attend a friends wedding near Dayton this weekend. What a great time. It was an Indian wedding.
Notice the ELEPHANT on top of the cake (I posted this for you Ebay Chad). This was a first for me. The food was good - but not for me.
Lots of fun and great stories I will share at a later date. That's it for now.
Arggle Snarf!
