Ame Strasser Benefit 10/27/2006

For you masochists who read my Blogs – NonAlignmentPact.com
So I have a new blog with some old friends- NonAlignmentPact.com. The idea is simple – Music in Seven days from Seven Writers. Hopefully it will be lively, entertaining, and worthy of adding your RSS Feeds. Odds are, if you’ve been in Houston for a while, you may already be…
You can learn a lot from just reading a frozen dinner…
Lean Cuinines are pretty cheap lunches so I sometimes try a new one just for grins. Today it was some pork and cherry sauce thing which wasn’t great but it was passable. Now, you’d think that my not liking it were a matter of taste but, upon tossing the box,…

Here is a new twist to the endless stream of benefits I see happening around town. A band has a benefit show for…Oh you take a stab at it. What would you think? Darfur? AIDS? Historic Preservation? No, you are not with the times; it’s a benefit for the band’s…
This Saturday in Houston – Lots of Shows to see (including Ours)
===At Rudz OK first off this my band is playing on Saturday at Rudyard’s with Georgia’s Horse and the Paper South. It’s Georgia’s Horse’s last gig as a band which is a shame as they are amazing as a band. Shoegazers take note, The Paper South are from Austin and…
