Have A Holly Jolly Christmas
marie2010-12-23T15:53:57-05:00Today is December 23rd. Can you believe it? Christmas is just two short days away. If you're like me, you're being swallowed up by daunting holiday trappings, desperately trying to cram three days of prep into four hour days. As a way to help assuage your anxiety over the mountain of unfinished Christmas business, the lovely folks at Daytrotter have posted five songs our collective favorite band recorded live while in Austin. And get this...they're free to download. FREE. Happy Christmas to us! http://www.daytrotter.com/dt/old-97s-concert/20054412-5183.html As an added attempt to lift your spirits during these last hectic days, I've also posted

So This One Time in the Bowery Ballroom…
marie2010-12-16T17:14:09-05:00I know I'm late to the party with this review (life kinda gets in the way sometimes), but it's been a week and I'm still euphoric from last Thursday's Old 97's shows so I thought, what the hell, might as well share some thoughts and videos. My hubby and I always vacation in and around New York City the first week of December. As the Fates would have it, this year coincided with not one, but three Old 97's concerts in Manhattan/Brooklyn. I love synchronicity. Synchronicity ROCKS! As you all know by now, the band drove all night from Baltimore

“Some Day Somebody’s Gonna Ask You…”
marie2010-12-14T17:15:50-05:00Amidst the exhausting late night performances and pre-dawn pressers last week, something special happened on this leg of the tour. Long time Old 97's merchandise man, Mario Perez took the love of his life's hand and walked her through the bitter New York cold to a quiet, picturesque spot in Central Park. There with his foggy, sleep-deprived head cleared by the crisp air, he dropped to one knee, looked into Laurie Lomas' beautiful brown eyes and asked her to grow old with him. She said yes. We couldn't be happier for them! Their nuptials are set for next year. So

Old 97’s, New Fans.
Stephanie2010-12-13T22:21:56-05:00After nine shows in ten nights, the guys have wrapped up the first leg of their tour. Judging from the setlists and discussions on the Old 97's forum, they did not disappoint. But maybe we, the faithful fans, are a little biased? For some fresh perspective, I decided to introduce two of my friends, 97’s-virgins, to the band. I was lucky to go to two shows this week, the first at The Recher Theatre in Towson, MD and then the Saturday night show at the Theatre of Living Arts in Philadelphia, PA. A few days before Towson, I offered a ticket to my

“Back On Your Heads” Part Three
marie2010-12-10T23:08:13-05:00Okay, so our favorite fellas are playing the penultimate show (Thank you Mr. Miller for the vocabulary lesson) for this leg of their tour in support of TGT, Vol 1 tonight in Brooklyn, New York. Not only did Philip share his helpful OCD packing tips on Rhett's video diary, he was sport enough to answer our little touring questionnaire. Let's see what the greatest drummer to ever come out of the great State of Texas has to share, shall we. 1. The energy and intensity of TGTV1 has been compared to Too Far To Care. Thirteen years down the road, how
