39? Really? Daaaaaaaaaaaang.

In honor of the Big 3-9, I give you the most famous OTHER 39-er from Georgia, James Earl Carter hisself, the Big Jimmy.



And in honor of the Big Jimmy, I present to you SNL's "Ask President Carter."



Come party with us at the Grille on Friday AND Saturday. In the meantime, just mellow out the best you can, okay?

Party? More Like ParTEEZ.

'Sabout that time of year again -- mosquito season, baseball All-Star Game ballot-stuffing, free-range annoying teenagers on the streets instead of in school... and the annual liquor-fueled debauchery that descends on Sportsman's Grille in Hillsboro Village. Come be a part of it, won't you?

Even better, it's a two-night deal!
Friday 5/15: Happy Hour at Grille 4-6, then Sounds game at 7. Tickets to game HERE.
Saturday 5/16: Party at Grille 12-6, then NRG bout at 7. Tickets to bout HERE.

Katie M. F. Gant.

Katie Gant is my All-Time Jam. Just sayin.

Birthday Greetings, Half-Belated.

Or something like that. I'd check my Emily Post to get the correct terminology, but she'd only say something like, "Next time do a better job of Photoshopping out the background of the picture -- it looks like you took the forceps to poor Jacques' head!" Stupid Emily Post. What does she know about Photoshop? Nothing, that's what.



Happy birthday today (5/24) to Trish, and belatedly (5/16) to Jacques!

Well. *At Least* Eight Hours.

Birthday Horoscope.

Part of the birthday tradition at our house was keeping the birthday horoscope from the local paper on the fridge, and seeing how it went for the coming year. We'll see how this one does (from The Onion):

Did Someone Mention A Birthday? Was That Me?

Party? Grille? You Know It.

Good buddy Eva Mendes was kind enough to do a retro glamor photo shoot for the Italian edition of Vogue, which a) is basically a Dario Argento Fetish Photorama, and b) just shows how much awesomer the Italian Vogue is than the wussified American edition.

The best news of all? The reason Eva did it was to promote my birthday party at the Grille. All the details below; e-mail if questions. You should be getting something in your in-box soon, unless you're a freak; in that case, check your out-box. [ba-dum-PSH!]

Megan's 29th at the Hillwood Strike & Spare

Here's a link to the pix from Megan's 29th Birthday Party/Gathering over to your Hillwood Strike & Spare. (Or is is "Strike 'n' Spare"? I hope not.)

And, a highlight video moment:



Damn, that is frackin' cute.
