Taco Bravo, hadn't ever had one before. Was wanting to get something vaguely Mexican for lunch when I noticed it was Taco Bravo Thursday ($1.39 each unlimited) at Taco Johns. It's a hard shell beef taco inside a bean soft taco, was quite tasty.

So, like the Taco Bell Double Decker that's been around for twenty years?

My kid went through a Power Rangers phase where he'd just cycle through all the ones on Netflix. That damn theme song would get stuck in my head and make we wanna play Mega Man because it sounds like something that should be in that game. Thankfully he grew out of it. But yeah it was always awful.

Did they really like it or were they just pretending to like it to be cool?
 
Sage, just remember, no matter where you have your wedding, or how much you pay to stage it, OPEN BAR is a must if you want people to have a good time.  Good food is usually on the top of the to dos as well, but if everyone is drunk that doesnt matter as much.

Definitely 100% on board with that. I went to a wedding once where there was no alcohol and no dancing because of some crazy religious thing. Already didn't know anyone cause I was a +1, worst date ever. Next wedding I went to had dancing and a full open bar and everyone was happy as fuck.

So what, they just like had dinner and that was it then? WTF else is there to do at a wedding besides eat some food, get bombed, and act a fool on the dance floor.

I dont know that a full open bar is needed. A couple of good beer kegs, a good red, a good white, and someone to serve it will mean anyone wanting to have a good time will.

 
I went to a dry wedding once and it was goddamn awful. Never again. I've been to cash bar ones as well which suck but I'd rather pay for a drink than not drink at all.

Our own wedding had a lot of help from my in-laws and open bar was a must for them.
 
It's a lot more socially acceptable to make really stupid mistakes while drunk. Best to have the marriage fall under that heading just in case.

Yeah, pretty much. It was awful. Some quick ceremony I don't remember, then dinner, then nothing. I guess mingling between family members, but there was only 1 table with friends (which I was at) and all of them seemed fairly bored as well. Absolutely zero of the party/fun atmosphere you'd hope for at a wedding.

 
Am I the only one that feels strange asking for donations for a charity thing?  I sent an email to the person in my company today that I knew was in charge of marketing that revolved around our NASCAR Carl Edwards sponsorship.  I asked if they could donate something for a silent auction for a charity that is outstanding and runs a program that has really helped my oldest kid.

They didn't do anything large, but they are sending an autographed Carl Edwards mini-helmet for the auction.  That was cool, so I am glad I asked.  However, I felt super strange asking them for anything.

I've been to one dry wedding and I would never do it again.  

We had a good sized wedding and it was great and wouldn't really change much, but if we'd done a Mild-style wedding and used the money towards a house/vacation/savings/etc, probably would be just as happy, if not happier.

Just make sure you're doing what you want and not what your parents or friends expect.

My wife asked her company to see if they wanted to sponsor a 5k run thing for a girl at our daycare, they sponsored way more than she was asking for (was minor, like 300 bucks I think?) but enough that they got the company logo on the shirt. Companies love that kinda stuff, great name recognition.

She felt weird asking too but you never know what people/companies are willing to do for charity until you ask.

Well sage, since I know ill be invited, all I expect is some free booze.

Thanks!

 
We had good beer (in bottles, not kegs but kegs make sense) and wine, not an open bar. Plenty for everybody and it worked out fine. I'd say go that route too to save some money.

Also we were well under 100 people. Didn't want a huge wedding.

Oh man, I went to the absolutely most terrible wedding ever.  

My friend was getting married to this girl that all of his friends hate first of all.  She is hispanic, but she converted to islam for whatever reason.  No judgment, freedom of religion, do whatever you want.  But it basically just meant the ceremony (which was outside on a day that was waaaaaay colder than it was supposed to be) took a lot longer because all of his and her family wanted a traditional christian wedding and she wanted to add in a bunch of islamic stuff.  So everyone was super miserable by the time we moved into the reception hall.  And it was a dry wedding as dictated by her, again because of religion.  Most weddings that are dry for religious reasons would mean at least one of the families would be fine with it, but since she converted, she was pretty much the only person there who wasn't mad that they weren't getting totally sauced.  The place was also way too small for the number of people they invited and the eating and dancing was supposed to take place in the same small room.  The food was served buffet style, so by the time it got to the last 3 tables (where all of his friends were sitting) there was next to nothing left.  My exgirlfriend is a vegetarian and she literally only had rice.  Meanwhile, there were plates piled high with food where the person ate two bites and decided they were done so it was all just trash now.  And since everyone had to get their own food from the one buffet, people were already long done eating and trying to dance while we were just sitting down.  We left as soon as we could without seeming rude and got some dinner.  We still talk about how it was awful and everything that should be enjoyable at a wedding as a guest was fucked.

 
My friends wedding that I was in was pretty bad. We had to rent tuxedos that were way more expensive than they should have been. It got started late because everything my friends do is always way behind schedule. The actual ceremony last less than 5 minutes (so why did I shell out $150+ for the tux?!?!?!) and there was a cash bar. My friend and I parked in the parking garage across the street and brought our own bottle of booze so at least we did get super drunk for cheap, that was one positive.

Tyler wouldn't like it, but I'd be super pumped if Enter the Gungeon got ported to Vita. Better late then never. Cross-buy and cross-save, please. But, I'd probably buy it again if it wasn't cross-buy.

I've always felt weird asking for money for charity walks and bike rides and such so you can take part. Usually when we did the MS150 bike ride (ride bikes 150 miles from Duluth to Twin Cities over two days) the wife's family knew tons of people to kick in to get us our minimum to participate.

There's actually a musical chairs competition for a cool charity in town in a couple weeks that I really wanna do, but I'd have to raise at least $150 to enter. But I can win a pass into every show at 1st Ave for the rest of the year. But I can't really ask my new co-workers/workplace to sponsor me and my family would just laugh at me. May just go watch anyway. Unless someone needs/wants to donate to charity.

That Desert Trip festival with The Rolling Stones and other classic bands officially announced ticket prices. They have $1500 ticket packages but if you want to go see the GA concert for the 3 days it's $399. Much better than the $1000 which was reported earlier.

Fri- The Rolling Stones & Bob Dylan
Sat- Paul M & Neil Young
Sun- Roger Waters & The Who

Wish The Who and Stones were playing the same day.

I'm almost positive I'm going to Austin City Limits this year for the 2nd weekend of it. Radiohead hype!
 
Jimbo, did you say you need the Who You Gonna Call? trophy in pre sequel? I have that mission, but if you were just offering to help I'll do it with some randoms. If you need it, let me know and we'll work something out.

If anyone else needs it, let me know.

My buddy lives in Austin and I hit him up today about the lineup. He was disappointed in it but I want to see some Radiohead and Willie Nelson. I really want to see Radiohead and AIR @ The Outsidelands Fest but its sold out.

Yea I was planning on the possibility of seeing them at lolla this year since it's close, but there is not a lot I want to see the day they are there. The gfs brother is going to school at Texas, so we'll have a place to crash down there, and there's at least 10 or more bands Id like to see at acl.

Except for that never happening cause I wasn't gonna take y'alls money for a PS4. But if y'all wanna donate to charity I'll set something up.

The charity if you're interested:
MOI is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting under-resourced students ages 6 to 18 with their writing skills and homework, emphasizing cross-curricular creativity. MOI offers after-school homework help, in-school tutoring, bookmaking and storytelling field trips, and writing workshops. This year, 165 volunteers will support over 1,200 students with one-on-one tutoring and creative writing lessons. And the best part? It’s completely free, which is why we need your support!
 
Just used the last of the three $30 PS+ BF'13 purchases I made. I held out hope for a "Buy 12 months of PS+, get 3 months free!" promo as long as I could.

So it's a charity that helps kids to do their homework after school instead of get into threesomes with their teachers? I can get behind that. Stupid teenagers shouldn't have it so good.

Just pay the $150 for yourself?
 
My buddy married a jack Mormon (someone who's left the church), but all her family was still crazy Mormons for the most part.  Her parents didn't show up to the rehearsal until really late because they didn't realize they had to, and everything having to do with the wedding was all very confusing for them.  That was awesome just sitting and waiting for them to show all day, though.

At the rehearsal dinner, we had one dry table and one stealth liquor table.

At the reception, all the Mormons made a bee-line to the sweets table before dinner was even served, and were crazier on that sugar rush than the people drinking (which still had to be kind of stealth).  They also were all over that dance floor.

Mormons are weird, but that wedding was pretty fun.  Mormon stepdad was creepy, though, and he had a huge velvet Jesus wall hanging in his home that was off-putting.  Almost like a buddy-Christ.  And he'd repeatedly hit on the hottest bridesmaid, which worked out well for me since I swooped in to save the day.  Best creepy Mormon wingman ever!

Galak-Z IndieBox is probably my favorite so far, action figure is really cool and the box is awesome with the little visible screen and stuff.
