Old 97’s Rock the Richards Group

My Fair Lady called a bit ago from her gig at Richards Partners. She was all atwitter because the Old 97’s had just played a mini-concert for the gang over at the Richards Group. Don’t make me explain the difference, and I don’t understand why the Old 97’s would play such a gig. Anyway, MFL was in attendance. And apparently fatherhood hasn’t diminished Rhett Miller’s magnetism any, because I could sense over the phone that MFL was flushed. And now I’ve been informed that we’ll be taking our two kiddos down to the AAC at 6 o’clock this eve for a free Old 97’s concert in Victory Plaza. From the looks of things out my window, we’re all going to wind up wet. But the heart wants what the heart wants. Not to mention certain other organs.

CAPTIONS: (left to right) Phillip Peeples (far left) to Stan Richards (center): “Dude, I totally pitted right through this shirt.” Ken Bethea (foreground) to self: “I’m a guitar hero. Take that, you 12 inches of black hate.”

    oh rheeeett. so dreamy. I’d be lyin’ if I said I didn’t have designs.on.him.

  • Captian Obvious

    It’s free, at Victory, at 6:00. What else do you need?

  • DGirl

    The guy in the blue shirt is pitting.

  • SB

    oo rhett! I fancy his ketchup.

  • brett

    FYI, the guy in the blue **** pitting is not Murray…That’s Phillip.

    Murray’s next to Rhett.

    Thanks for the concert info. Free is good.

  • brett

    whoops…left the r out of shirt.

  • Christine Rogers

    Was not. Can’t prove it. Tim, weren’t you listening when I told you their performance took me back to memories of his dedicating “W-I-F-E” to us after we got married? Rhett and his band are truly awesome, but he’s got nothing on our 20 years together.

  • dave little

    barf.

  • Un-Rhetticent

    I need a correct spelling of Captain.
    That is all.

  • Tim Rogers

    Brett, thanks. Fixed.

    Dave, don’t worry, friend. I will still shower with you after lunchtime basketball.

  • dave little

    cause you’re still roller skate skinny.

  • Sean

    Hopefully no one tells that boring-ass turd story.

  • the cynic

    uh, Christine, did you just use w-i-f-e and l-i-s-t-e-n in the same sentence?

  • Dutch Oven

    The Old 97’s were old in ‘97… where means they actually do have something in common with Stan Richards after all.

  • HHAS

    Amen for Ole Dutch. These guys used to bore the **** out of me at Jacksons pizza in Denton back in the early 90’s.

  • Daniel

    HHAS

    I was there too! Jackson was an ass.

  • steve

    I always got the impression that Jackson was Nigerian Mafia.

  • brett

    me and my “boring” taste in music enjoyed the free show last night. Tim, thanks for the info!
