Farm-To-Market in 2.5

Love a good idea and these folks have one. Fresh organically grown vegetables from local Austin farms delievered to my door. Sure, itll cost me $5 for a tomato but if im too lazy to grow them myself and tired of fighting the good fight in the produce isle every Sunday, why not?

Guns Dont Shoot Themselves!

Love this guys protest sign in response to a proposed across the board ban on guns in DC thats landed on the doorstep of the Supreme Court. The justices voted 5 to 4 that a ban on ALL guns in any part of the US goes directly against our constitutional right to bear arms.

Suite Life

Despite the 110 degree heat, Vegas has treated us well. Been hangin my hat at The Bellagio in a 2 bedroom suite that dons 5 bathrooms 7 flat screen TV's, personal conceirge, and motorized curtains that I havent been able to keep my hands off of. CR joined me for the weekend and we did it up Vegas style. Caught Elton John's 200th show from the 5th row at Ceasars last night. UH-MAY-ZING!

Ive got to move hotels today, heading over to the Mandalay Bay where a bunch of white trash and my colleagues are staying for our meetings this week. The pool over there is crazy big, like a water park. I may go lazy river the afternoon away and try not to burn my skin off the bone in the process.

Our suite:

D@mn!

Finger Meet Pulse

Whats hot in Europe besides acid washed jean shorts and mullets?

Music that grows on you:

Doth I Protest.....

George and Laura Bush are on their final European Tour (ie taxpayers sponsored vacation) and stopped here in London this weekend and the locals are super excited about it.

Evidently George has "diarrhea"? or is a "Terrorista"...(is that like fashonista?) Whatever these protesters are saying, they did it very loudly right in my ear. Needless to say, I kept my mouth shut as I browsed the crowd even when I saw a sign that said George Bush is spreading AIDS in Africa. How the hell did that get in the mix?

London Serves Me Well

I browsed London this weekend as a tourist catching all the sight and sounds of this fantastic city. The weather tuned out (for once) and lucky for me the outrageous travel costs these days kept the tourist crowds to a minimum. Yesterday I hit the British Museum and spent several hours in the Egyptian rooms, caught a fading glimpse of the Queen Herself down by Buckingham during the annual Trouping of The Colours Parade in honor of her Birthday, and I spent the bulk of the afternoon in St. James Park in a rented chair getting blinded by the pasty white Brits as they sunned themselves in the grass. I topped it off with an evening performance of Avenue Q, and dinner and drinks with Jen O'Neil and her way cute Scottish boyfriend Andrew.

Today I walked over to Westminster Abbey and looked around Parliament, Big Ben and the Thames. Got caught up in a huge Anti-Bush rally, stopped by the Tate Modern and checked out a disturbing photo exhibit (one word: Human Flesh) and then stopped in at Harrods for a walk through their exquisite gourmet foods section. I came back and ordered about $1000 worth of room service, slapped on a mud mask I picked up at Molton Brown and watched a few episodes of Mercat Manor on the BBC in a big fluffy hotel bath robe.

Could it have gotten any better? I mean really?!

Some photos I snapped:
