Boy am I out of it. I thought last spring this game was in Houston, and I thought we'd do a tailgator. Then, when I found out it was in New Orleans, I thought, "well, we'll just have a party in some bar in Houston." Next damn thing, I booked a gig for myself on this Sunday, thinking it was Saturday.

Youre thinking, "Who are you, and what did you do with Skymike?" I know, but my bizness is krazy.... ok, your BS meter is hitting red, (and some of you have witnessed) so ok, im still kind of all over the place, living adventure, and
hanging with Jack D, sampling the buffet that is Houston nightlife. Thats the nice way to say it. I promise I'll try to end up fat and married again some day, so I can be a more devoted sports fan. But this wont stop me from raising hell, when I get to the Dome Sept 20.

Anyway, Im working Sunday during the Saints / Texans preseason game, but I would be most pleased if you HOU-DATS will continue to hang together, and toast me, and send me pictures and updates. We've all made some nice real life friends, as this year we will plan early for Mudbugs VII. Can you believe it?

Kajun Kookin and I intended for the Texas preseason game to be at a venue in Humble, but if any of you respond to this, and you're scattered in places like Woodlands, etc. You should scope out a more central location.

You realize Woodrow's died, right? RAgin Cajun on Richmond is great... their food rocks, but they dont have room. RC on Westheimer is out of the way.

Anyway, please make it a point to watch the game together. I miss yall, and maybe I could talk some of you into watching the replay one night next week. I'll be on board, hopefully w/ my head screwed on right for the regular season.
