WHEWWWWWW!!! This was a great one. Quite possibly the best one. Could have only been better with Full Horsemen Participation, but we carried on, as is our custom. It was rowdy at points. It was emotional at points. And it was epic throughout.

A long-standing Rockem axiom - “The help either loves us or hates us. There is no middle ground.” - was on FULL DISPLAY this warm weekend in Houston as we received not one… not two… but three separate notes from Marriott staff telling us how much they enjoyed our particular brand of revelry. Don't believe me? Why you mistrustful bastard. Ok jerk, here's a pic….

See, i told you. And these notes came with complimentary beer and champagne and, i think, some cookies. But it wasn't just the notes and beer and champagne and cookies. It was the PEOPLE that made this trip extraordinary. And it wasn't just the ones looking for a tip, either. Every single person down there took to us like a bunch of northerners to a lazy river pool shaped like Texas.

More on the people later, but first THE BASEBALL!

…wait, there was baseball? THERE WAS!….

OK! So back to the people. Just a real lovable crowd. Texans rock. Everybody sorta in a good mood? Everybody happy to engage? Everybody having fun? For example, at the park, Jay Moon and I wanted to enjoy two foot-long hotdogs a peach with all kinds of cheese and chili on them…. as is also our custom….

Now. What does one do after purchasing an obscene amount of loaded wieners? One takes obscene joke wiener pictures while they are still on the counter…

So my phone is on the counter, pointed down and i cant really see what i'm shooting. Keep your eye on the folks behind us, in line…
