HO HO HORNS
Remember how you used to feel as a kid when you woke up on Christmas morning? You were so excited that you could barely sleep the night before. For months, you could think of nothing but that particular day. And when the day finally came…well, the excitement was tangible.

Well my friends, that’s how I feel about Texas-OU weekend. I stopped caring about Santa a long time ago, but I assure you that thoughts of that Grinchy Stoops from north of the Red River permeate my thoughts year-round. NOTHING beats the excitement of the TX-OU game at the Cotton Bowl for me, but one thing comes pretty close—that’s right, the annual DIAMONDBAG Friday night TX-OU BLOWOUT BASH.

Join us on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, for what is sure to be at least the second-best gig we’ve played this year. After all, topping my 40th birthday bash from July is a tall order indeed, but we just may be up for it! We’re trotting out an interesting line-up for the show, as our trusty guitar player (and designated whiskey drinker) Jay will be out of the country. Has Diamondbag ever let a little thing like a missing member get in the way of a gig? HELL NO! Eric is moving to guitar, Matt is stepping in on bass, and we’re turning the amps up to 11. Better back the f*** up!

As usual, the show will be at the fantabulous LAKEWOOD BAR AND GRILL (6340 Gaston Ave. in beautiful downtown Lakewood). The fun starts about 9 p.m., and of course we’ll play until 2 a.m.. Ain’t no party like a Longhorn party cause a Longhorn party don’t stop! And don’t worry about any Sooners on the premises—they stopped reading when they saw the word “tangible” in the first paragraph.

“But Gary,” you ask, “Won’t you be exhausted at the game the next day if you play till 2 a.m.?”

Tuaca + corn dogs = rocket fuel, my friends.

As always, Diamondbag will be joined for the evening by NO COMMITMENT (who, in an incredible coincidence, will also be missing Jay for the night). You’ll also hear some tunes from a new band called CHARLEE X, which I’m happy to announce may be the only band in Dallas that Jay is not a member of. If all three bands look virtually the same to for you for some reason, have no fear. You may be lit up like a Christmas tree—in fact, you BETTER be—but you’re not crazy.

We hope to see you at the LBG for all of the fun. Free rare Who roast beast and Who hash for everyone!

WE AMAZE EVEN OURSELVES!
Sure, if The Dallas Morning News were to compile a list of, say, the top 100 tribute bands in Dallas, we bet that most fans would admit the possibility that Diamondbag might make the cut. But to be featured as one of the five movers and shakers of the Dallas tribute band scene in a splashy Guide article leaves even us, well, a little verklempt. (Of course, if you're feeling crazy, you can shell out the mighty 50 cents at the newsstand and see the pictures too.) The Observer may have given us no love in their recent Music Awards, but at least the Morning News is smart enough to recognize real talent when they see it. To tell you the truth, we're just glad that they didn't say we suck.

The happiest moment of Gary's life: past, present, or future.

GUESS WHO EATS AT THE CARNEGIE DELI? NO ONE, APPARENTLY
Our previous poll posed the musical question, "Latkes, kishkas, or kreplach: Which will be the concession of choice on the big Neil/Barbra tour?" Of course, time reveals all, including the lameness of our own polls, since the big Neil / Barbra tour was as much a non-starter as a Mo Rocca quip at a Rotary Club meeting.

We'll try to do better in our new poll du jour, where we ask the non-musical question, "If a tree falls in the Arboretum, and 1,000 people are there to hear it, does Diamondbag still suck?"
