Asides

I’ve got a “Vote for Pedro” shirt on my chest and baby back ribs and Blue Bell ice cream in my stomach—life is good. I can’t believe how much I missed BBQ!

    My wife made me one of those shirts for our Napoleon Dynamite Party. :-)

    GOD I LOVE BLUEBELL! Home-style vanilla. Yeah Barbecue & ribs – not that crappy pork BBQ but real manly brisket. Where did ye have it?

    I am in Dallas.

    This place outside of Austin in Elgin, I forget the name.

    As a fellow Texan stranded in California due to the better technology market I would suggest checking out Memphis Minnies *Warning Heavy Flash usage ahead* on lower Haight in San Fran. When we visit friends in SF we ALWAYS stop in for some BBQ. I would suggest you try some of the Carolina style sauces they have. MMMM…

    BLUEBELL ROCKS!!! Well, um, I mean BLUEBELL ICE CREAM!! Er, they don’t sell rocks… Anyway, bluebell is the bomb, man. Especially homemade vanilla. Woob woob! Glad you’re enjoying it down here. :)

    In Elgin? One of these perhaps?

    Maybe a Vote Kinky hat to go with the shirt.

    Lucky! Got a photo of your new digs?

    Because the cows think Brenham is heaven. :) I’m glad I live in Texas. Couldn’t make it without blue bell.

    We went to Kyoto for sushi and personally I was very impressed. We hit up Speakeasy for their bar and hopefully we’ll make it to the 10am session tomorrow.

    I live in Perth, Western Australia. We’re the most isolated capital city in the world. I ordered an ND helicopter shirt and wore it to a music festival a few weeks back. When I was there, I saw a dude with a Vote For Pedro shirt. We got our photo taken together but my friend Rich is too slack to upload it. It’s pure gold.

    I also bought another design from No Riders; I like it even more.

    You should all buy ND shirts :)

    I really need to make myself one of those ‘Vote for Pedro’ shirts. It’s cheap and (to me) stylish!

    How much you missed BBQ? There is no Blue Bell in California, is there? Damn, I’m craving ice cream now…

    It was SO fabulous to see you. We’ve missed you down here.

    If you really want to have the best barbecue in Dallas/Fort Worth I strongly suggest the North Main Street barbecue in Euless Texas. It is the best barbecue I’ve had in Texas (and for that matter the world). I’m in Colorado now and I’m sad that we’ve not got anything half as good as NEM Barbecue.
    People suggest different places in Denver and all I can say is, “What the heck are you even talking about?

    If you want true Texas BBQ then Stubbs is the place to go. It is real Texas BBQ with a twist. That or Salt Lick… Definitely check it out!

  • Jeremy Shields March 15, 2005 @ 9:53 am

    BBQ is how its got to be. :D

    Well, sorry, but I am very partial to Baskins and Robbins Ice cream, and to Bryers. I try to eat the orange sherbet the most, less calories. Bit if you put me in Baskins I can choose so may flavors I could OD on it.
