Black Crowes

We headed down to Tunica last night for the Black Crowes concert at Bluesville inside the Horseshoe Casino. If you have never been to a concert here, you should go. It's a great venue. We met up with some of my college friends Hurt and Schmidt. Schmidt works for Harrah's who owns Horseshoe, so we stayed at Harrah's and rode the shuttle over to the concert. Thankfully, Schmidt got us the hook-up! We had a great time and free drinks at the show. We ate a late night fourth meal, and passed out in our room. We laughed so much. These pictures will probably make no sense, but if you were there, it was hilarious. So fun!

I know you....

But we don't know you.... where were this lady's friends?

You could have asked one of us to take your picture, rather than squeeze in :)


Hurt decided to try the chair...

So did Schmidt...

Pretty typical when these two get together

Great night!

Funny video from Europe

Just had to post this. My mom uploaded a video of Brian and Mr. Coughlin from Switzerland. They were called on stage at a dinner theater performance we went to in Lucerne and was forced to yodel, then chug a beer. It was hilarious!

Bland Gator is back!

After a small hiatus, Blind Gator, my brother Mark's band, is back. Mark plays guitar and is the lead singer. They've played at Hard Rock Cafe, Hi Tone, and will play at Minglewood Hall and other places around the city. Here is a little sampling from last Saturday night.

I just have to say I am so proud of my mom for learning how to upload movies on You Tube!

Cruisin' the Redneck Riviera

This fourth of July weekend was so much fun! On Friday, Brian's best friend Robert invited us to his newly bought and remodeled house and we did a lot of eating and hanging out in the backyard. We are so proud of him for his hard work on this house! It really paid off!

Saturday we got up early and headed to Robyn's parents house in Tunica for a little Tunica Lake action. The Pela's, Dulaney's and the two of us headed out on their boat. We packed some pimento cheese sandwiches, tons of snacks, and plenty of beverages :) We went out on what is called the Redneck Riviera (seriously, the signs say that) and attempted kneeboarding and water skiing. It was so much fun! We had a great dinner that night complete with hot dogs on the grill and pasta salad before we headed back to Memphis. Perfect!

My first skiing attempt....

Not so bad, got up on the fourth try! Well, I sort of got up. Then I face-planted into the water. Then I was done.

Brian = expert kneeboarder

All in all, it was a great day.
