4 days to Butt-Numb-A-Thon: Austin-bound!

Hee-hee-hee... not bad eh? I didn't have much time to do a perfect job on it, but ever since I found out that I'm going to the Butt-Numb-A-Thon film festival in Austin, Texas this year, I've had it in mind to do a spoof of Preacher: Gone to Texas (a really good graphic novel that I discovered some years ago). Just 'cuz it sounds cool to say "gone to Texas" like that, and this'll be my first time ever going there.

I'm not staying in some swanky hotel in Austin, either. I'll be staying with some friends who live outside of town, in an area notorious for scorpion infestations and whatnot. They tell me that I'm going to love Texas barbecue... which is not pork at all but beef. "Porkless barbecue ribs" ummm sounds like blasphemy to me. But you know, "when in Rome..."

Expect posts on this blog from Austin, San Antonio, maybe Waco, and a blow-by-blow after-action report on Butt-Numb-A-Thon over the next few days, including photos (well not from Butt-Numb-A-Thon 'cuz cameras aren't allowed 'cuz there's going to be some real top-secret unreleased movies going on in there :-)

The next time you hear from me, I will be somewhere in the Lone Star State: home of the Dallas Cowboys, the Alamo, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Ron Paul, Leatherface, millions of illegal immigrants, J.R. Ewing, Ann Richards, Howard Hughes, Gene Autry, Dale Evans, Charles "Tex" Watson, and world-famous Texas Pete hot-sauce!

(Actually, Texas Pete is made in Winston-Salem, North Carolina... but French Fries are from Belgium too, so go figure.)

See y'all on the flip side!

    Also, I had no idea that you were a fellow PREACHER fan. Kudos!
